Tour guide is not inappropriate; the term docent is also used, especially in museums, art galleries or other venues where a lot of specialized knowledge is required. It is from the German dozent. It rhymes closely with 'no scent'. The vowel soundsare like those in the word frozen. The accent is on the first syllable.

Museum docent is a title given in the United States of America to persons who serve as guides and educators for the institutions they serve, usually on a voluntary basis. The English word itself is derived from the Latin word docēns, the present active participle of docēre (to teach, to lecture).
