The history of tour guiding in the modern age began to take shape in the 19th century with the rise of leisure travel, particularly among the upper classes in Europe. The introduction of organized tours by companies like Thomas Cook in the 1840s revolutionized travel by offering planned itineraries and local guides. As transportation methods improved, especially with the advent of automobiles and airplanes in the 20th century, tour guiding evolved to include diverse experiences and specialized knowledge, catering to a broader audience. Today, tour guides often incorporate technology and personal storytelling to enhance visitor engagement and provide deeper cultural insights.
Tour guiding was not that widespread during this time. It was mostly reserved for the royalty who went touring the world.
