Travel guides are a certain entity that provides travelers with information about the place of travel. A travel guide could be a person, with expert knowledge of the place, or it could be a guidebook containing most relevant information of the travel place. Generally, travelers prefer person guides, as they provide more insight to the places than what books can ever provide.

Travel guides are an integral part of the tourism industry. Tour operators have a certain travel guide who informs people about the place while traveling. Certain fun facts and myths related to the places are often revealed to the travelers to enhance the complete experience. Different guides have different approaches in guiding the travelers. While some prefer being informative and stress on facts; others create a mystical environment by narrating stories and myths related to the place. However, what remains common in both approaches is that the facts are original and related to the places of travel.
