IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN AN ENGLISH SPEAKING DRIVER AND A LOCAL GUIDE IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SELECTION OF THE RIGHT PROFESSIONAL YOU NEED FOR YOUR TOUR.
- AN ENGLISH SPEAKING DRIVER IS A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL LOCAL CAR DRIVER WHO IS FLUENT IN ENGLISH, WHO KNOWS THE TERRITORY VERY WELL, WHO CAN GIVE YOU GENERIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA. HE OR SHE IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY HISTORICAL AND ARTISTIC EXPLANATIONS.
AN ENGLISH SPEAKING DRIVER IS NOT LICENSED TO ENTER MUSEUMS, CHURCHES, ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES AND GIVE ANY EXPLANATIONS ABOUT THESE TYPES OF ATTRACTIONS OR LOCATIONS. THIS IS THE ROLE OF A LOCAL GUIDE.
- THE EXCLUSIVITY OF AN ENGLISH SPEAKING DRIVER SERVICE IS THAT YOU HAVE A FULL DAY OF ASSISTANCE IF NEEDED OR WANTED. IN ADDITION DRIVERS HAVE SPECIAL ACCESS (PERMISSION) TO REACH SPOTS WHICH MAY NOT BE OPEN TO OTHER DRIVERS INCLUDING SOME PEDESTRIAN AREAS.
- IN MANY HISTORICAL CENTRES DRIVERS CAN'T PARK THEIR CAR EASILY AND BE WITH YOU DURING YOUR EXPLORATION. IN THOSE INSTANCES THEY WILL PROVIDE ALL THE DETAILED INFORMATION ON WHAT TO SEE AND DO ON YOUR OWN.
WE RECOMMEND HIRING A LOCAL GUIDE IN ADDITION TO THE ENGLISH SPEAKING DRIVER FOR TOURS IN AND AROUND SIGNIFICANT SITES.
