travel guide
A
guide book
is a book for tourists or travelers that provides details about a geographic location, tourist destination, or itinerary. It is the written equivalent of a tour guide. It will usually include details, such as phone numbers, addresses, prices, and reviews of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel budgets, or focus on the particular interests and concerns of certain groups, such as lesbian and gay singles or couples. Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".

"Itaewon is an area in Seoul where lots of foriegners live. Lots of English speakers there. If you go there, there are some travel agents who can help get you a guide. Or just ask around. You'll find something."

"Im not sure that you will really need one for just one day.If you take the city bus tour, it has a headset with english translation, and each place you go to, has english brochures, some places with english tours every now and then.When are you coming to Korea?Im not sure, but I could ask around some of my friends if they know anyone. Koreans are very helpful to visitors, so im sure you would be fine. I have known people that have been invited to houses for dinner, and bought clothing and many other things."

"there is hard to find guidance there, even for a mapso be sure you take a travel guide with you, maybe even two onesalso, the schedules in travel guides might be different than what you find on the spot or they might be in renovation, closed etc. So either call them(if you know Spanish) or go EARLY. I used Frommer's Peru Guide because they give interesting comments"

"first of all try to find tour operators from your origin country(is it UK?) go and ask them to cooperate with you. You have to know very good about history/monuments/roads etc.This is about tour leaders.If you are a licenced guide you can cooperate with many countries all over the world.Sent your resimate to tour operators that work with outgoing tourism and when they have a guided tour (it is usually 03-04 hours ) they will call you back. a guided city tour 03hours with licenced guide costs about 200euro per 50pax.Hope I helped.."
