What is the difference between Guides vs Tour Guides?
| Aspect | Guides | Tour Guides |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Often require general knowledge, certifications vary | May need specific certifications or licenses depending on location |

What qualifications do you need to be a guide?
Guides typically need relevant knowledge of the area or activity they are leading, strong communication skills, and often a certification or license depending on the activity, such as a wilderness or tour guide license. Experience in customer service and safety training are also important. Requirements vary by location and type of guiding service.
