You go somewhere you want to visit someplace nice but as an outsider you do not know where to go and what to do. So who do you trust not the other explorers like you but someone who is aware of all the nice spots there. A person who can take you to places where other explorers cannot go on their own. That certain someone is a Local guide.
A local guide possess the supernatural ability of making someone’s trip exceptionally good. As a tourist one can tell you about the things visible to the human eye and what aspect appealed to them but can never explain why and when and how the certain someplace was built. That demands the expertise of a Local Guide. No one I repeat no one can explain the beauties and wonders of a simplistic place like a person who has spent his childhood there. A certain touch that he adds is responsible for taking that place from just good to brilliant. You do not go to NEW YORK and make yourself a pizza you trust the locals to make your trip memorable. You never go to Venice wanting to walk on the dryland but the gondola. That certain universal experience can only be provided by a Local Guide.
