You've googled it, got all the brochures and guidebooks and interrogated everyone who's been to your travel destination, so why u need a tour guide?
Here's some tips:
- No worries of getting lost. If you are not adventurous type of person, this is really important. Your tour guide knows the local district like the back of his hand. Plus, he'll probably provide transportation, making a more convenient reservation and comfortable trip.
- Worth seeing. If pressed for time, your tour guide should be able to give you a priority list on places to visit. They're hoping you'll recommend them to your friends for future trips, so they'll do their best to show you a good places.
- Better bargaining power. Local markets usually have two prices, one for the local, and one for tourist. A good tour guide must know how to negotiate for the prices at bazaar so that you pay closer to the local price.
- Well-treated. Guides with good rapport with people in the industry usually strike up an agreement with business owners to give special discounts in exchange for steady stream of business.
- Understand local custom better. You do not have to worry about offending the locals by first asking your tour guide on what's appropriate or not.
