Guides explain any rules or regulations that must be followed. On the trip, recreation guides make sure that their customers are safe. In addition, they demonstrate equipment and techniques. During overnight trips, guides may prepare all the food. Trips may last from several hours to several weeks.
Some recreation guides work in cities.
These guides are often in charge of city tours. During these tours, guides provide historical information. Like outdoor recreation guides, city tour guides plan and organize the trip. However, city tours usually last only a few hours. Leaders may drive the tour bus.
