What is a Driver/Guide, an English Speaking Driver and a City Guide? What do they do?2025-01-29T18:12:54+01:00
  • Driver Guides (DG) are fully qualified tour guides and are licensed to drive limousine service vehicles as well. While ESDs are fairly common in most ports of call, DGs are extremely rare. The difference between an ESD and a DG is the depth of intellect and knowledge. DGs are professionally trained to ensure that you get out of your excursion whatever you are looking for in the way of local color, culture, fun, historical sights and museums, landscapes and views, restaurants, etc. The amount of information provided by a DG will be more thorough and personalized to your particular interests than that offered by an ESD. However, in many European cities, a DG may not be allowed to guide tours through major churches and museum where such explanations are restricted to City Guides (see below).
  • English Speaking Drivers (ESD) are all very experienced and used to hosting foreign tourists. They are all extremely familiar with the sights you will undoubtedly want to visit. If you have made a list of “must-sees” for any city you’ll want to visit, ESDs will gladly take you wherever you may want to go. If by chance, however, you did not have the time or inclination to “do your homework” before traveling, the driver will design an itinerary that will include all the highlights. ESDs will offer information about the sights you will see.
  • City Guides are those who are specialized and licensed to guide in one specific city or limited area. Local culture, history and traditions are so different from area to area—even from city to city—that no single guide can possibly become highly knowledgeable about a whole country or region. Therefore many local governments, especially in Europe, have chosen to assure the integrity of the local culture by licensing only those guides who have had a formal education and have proved to be knowledgeable and qualified to represent their area or city. Tours conducted by City Guides are often intense and detailed.
