India is an enchanting land of surprises that never fails to impress its visitors. Every city in the country has something splendid to offer; each time anew. It may not be practically possible to fully explore all the amazing offerings of every single city during your travel to India. However, you can still enjoy the best of each place by hiring a tour guide.
Reasons Why You Should Hire a Tour Guide – There are no two ways about it. Getting a guide as your partner when you travel through the length and breadth of India is an excellent choice. Let’s see how.
- Travelling alone – they’ll be your partner, giving you company as you enjoy what each city has to offer.
- Travelling as a couple – they’ll take you to the most picturesque locales of the city which are a perfect romantic getaway.
- Travelling in a group – whether, with friends or family, they’ll address different queries about the specific area as well as give ideas on which places would appeal to varied interests in the group. If you have kids and elderly members with you, the guide will help you with the local facilities available.
Here are some more reasons why you wouldn’t regret spending on hiring a tour guide:
- Provides accurate details – You may have already read up online about the city before you go but a guide is a well-informed authentic source of information to learn more and correct information about all the local sights.
- Saves time and cost too – When you’re on a tour, time is of the essence. You’ve got plenty to cover in little time. A guide can help plan your tour such that you can cover the maximum places in the limited time available. This also helps you save money because the guide would help you plan your day in a way that’s cost-effective, letting you see all the important places in one go than to travel back and forth on the same route.
- Gives better insight into local culture – Your tour is incomplete without a peek into its rich cultural heritage. A guide can help you learn about the cultural laws of the place – what is considered rude/polite – so you can avoid getting embarrassed in public.
- Helps you taste the best local delights – Food is the prime attraction of any new place you go to and if you have someone tell you the best food to try and where it becomes a lot easier.
- Helps translate for you – Each Indian city speaks its own local dialect and having a guide with you to translate can help communicate and connect better with the locals.
This only goes on to prove that hiring a local travel guide is one of the best investments you make when travelling. However, beware of frauds and getting duped by certain people who claim to be guides but have other ill intentions in mind. So, the next time you plan a tour of India, book a guide.
