We often check out a world travel guide when we need to collect information about a place which we are planning to visit. The travel guides provide us complete details about a place like the cultural heritage sites to visit, best places to shop, accommodation options, the places to taste the best and traditional food, best time to visit, the specialties of that place etc.
Apart from the above mentioned tourist information in the travel portals, you can also find detailed information about the hostels and apartments on rent, available for a long stay at a place. You can also collect information about the car rental services available at that place and how you can arrange a car for yourself to make your trip more enjoyable and comfortable. You can also check out information on how to reach that place and the various modes of transportation available at that place.
However, the travel portals and guides do not provide ‘travel and holidays’ related information alone. They have many other tools, which prove to be useful for a traveler. Few of these are mentioned below:
The Newsletters: Most of the travel portals publish E-newsletters which contain information about the best tour packages to the different places, the best hotel deals, cheap car hire, low cost flights and cruises, the up coming events and festivals in that place etc.
The interested travelers can sign up for the newsletters for free and receive them in their email on a regular basis with the latest updates.
Travel Journals: Travel guides also publish travel journals which contain tourist information and travel experiences of travelers. These journals contain information from first hand experiences. Therefore, they provide you tips to make your visit to a place enjoyable. Some of the journals also contain photographs, contributed by the tourists.
Weather Information: Travel portals offer real time weather forecast and information for different locations. They provide information about the weather conditions along with the minimum and maximum temperatures. It proves to be very useful for travelers.
Maps: All travel guides provide maps of places. These maps prove to be useful tools for travelers as they contain directions, detailed road maps of accessible area etc.
A travel guide without the above mentioned tools and features are not much useful for a traveler. However, even if a travel guide contains these tools, they need to be regularly updated, so that they are able to guide people accurately during their travel.
‘Places Online’ is one of the best travel guides available on the internet. For more information you can visit www.placesonline.com.

vehicle for an exciting expedition through the wildlife preserve. The ride can be a bit bumpy as it crosses rickety bridges, rocky hills and rivers—but you’re rewarded with spectacular animal sightings. Since animals have minds of their own, no two Kilimanjaro Safari experiences are the same. You may even catch a glimpse of one of the many baby animals that were recently born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Perhaps you’ll see one of these species: Antelope Baboon Black rhino …

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.

there is hard to find guidance there, even for a map
so be sure you take a travel guide with you, maybe even two ones
also, 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

You mean you have "written" a travel guide?…

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..

It is not a shiny travel guide, but has a lot of useful info organized in a very convenient way. I like it!
By reading through it, you'll find your own ideas what you want to see and where you want to go… so it is better somehow that you are not required to follow some predefined travel route and someone else's ideas…
+ ad-free!
hope you'll find it useful

That's almost as special as a gift of a silent movie to a blind person. Sure go for it. Don't be heart broken though if you find it in the trash can.
