02 Worksheet 1

This document compares and contrasts two types of tour guides: on-site guides and specialized tour guides. On-site guides lead tours at specific attractions like museums and parks, typically for half-day tours. Specialized tour guides have expertise in a particular activity or location, such as adventure, history, or nature, and lead tours focused on their specialized area of knowledge. Both types of guides are knowledgeable about the locations they tour and assist visitors, but specialized guides have extensive experience in a single focus area.
