Differences
 A City/Urban Guides will make you
experience the tangible products. While
the driver guides will only narrate and
explains the tangible products of tourism.
 Driver Guides allow you to enjoy a
journey that is worth your time and
effort, compared to City / Urban Guides,
who can only spend so much time
traveling because of the kinds of tours
they offer, including Day tours.
 A driving guide is a type of tour guide
who describes a location while driving.
However, city / urban guides emphasize
and talk about the city's features while
riding in a motor coach, minivan, or van,
but occasionally as part of a walking tour,
another type of outdoor tour.
 Your tour guide will also serve as your
driver. Unlike City/Urban Tours, which
feature a separate driver and tour guide.
