tour leader and tourist guide

Hello, Would you be so kind and help me to translate those to Spanish. Guia turistico, in my understanding, refers to tourist guide, what would be the word for tour leader then? Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure what the distinction is in English between "tour guide" and "tour leader". They sound like the same thing to me. Is there a difference?  

Tour leader is the person who takes care of the tourist group throughout the journey - from the beginning till the very end. The guide gives information on particular object, city, region. So as tour leader you take your group from your country and go, let's say, Italy where you colaborate with local guides. Actually, it's forbidden by law for a tour leader to show the groups around cities like Venice or Rome... Still, I have no idea how to show the difference in Spanish....  

Gregory MD

I was reading a book, "Conducting Tours" by Marc Mancini. He states clear differences: tour guide is someone who takes people on sightseeing excursions of limited duration (on-site guides for building, attractions, etc; city-guide or driver-guide in a particular city, taxi drivers are this kind of guides in several cities). specialized guides is someone whose expertise or skills are highly unique. For instance, adventure guides lead unusual, phisically demanding tour experiences (safari, trekking, diving, etc). tour leader (tour director, tour conductor, tour courier, or tour manager ) is a person who manages a group's movements over a multi-day tour. This tour leaders are capable to solve problems long before tour members can become aware of them.

Hola a todos, Estoy de acuerdo con la información dada en este enlace: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1597420 Pero, por favor ¿cuál es la traducción correcta al español de Tour Leader? Gracias.  

Se me ocurre guía acompañante.  

  • Oct 29, 2010

Gracias Sarah, Un Tour Leader es mas que un guía acompañante...en tal caso no habría diferencia con un guía de turismo... Un abrazo.  

Maika

Un conductor de grupo no es lo mismo que un guía de turistas, el guía de turistas por lo general es un local. El conductor de grupo generalmente acompaña al grupo desde el lugar de origen o desde un punto en donde comience un tour y lo hace durante todo el recorrido hasta regresar a ese punto. Por ejemplo: 1) desde México a un recorrido por Europa y 2) desde México sale el grupo, el conductor toma al grupo en Madrid, van a varios países y regresan a Madrid. El guía de turistas generalmente presta sus servicios en recorridos de visitas a la ciudad de 4 horas aprox., o de un día en la ciudad o a lugares cercanos, o 3 días y regreso... Por lo tanto: tour leader = conductor de grupo Saludos  

Pues, perdonad mi insistencia, pero sigo sugiriendo la posibilidad de guía acompañante. Al menos en España, a la persona de la agencia que te acompaña durante todo el recorrido, durante un circuito de varios días, desde tu ciudad de origen y se encarga de coordinar los traslados, de tramitar la entrada en los hoteles, de introducirte a los diferentes guías locales si los hay, o de solucionar cualquier eventualidad, se le puede llamar guía acompañante o guía de viaje. Os dejo varios ejemplos: Agencia Catai: "Contamos con un equipo de guías acompañantes profesionales" Agencia MundoAmigo: "El precio incluye · Transporte en autocar Gran Turismo · Guía acompañante de habla multilingüe · Comidas como indicado en el itinerario · Visitas panorámicas mencionadas en el programa con guía local" Agencia Iberojet: "Recorrido en moderno autocar con guía acompañante de habla hispana durante el circuito"  

Hola Maica, Te agradezco mucho por tu opinion. Sin embargo en el caso de las personas que conozco que trabajan como Tour Leaders , para agencias de los EE.UU. y Perú, Nepal, etc. su trabajo implica mucho mas que el de un "guía acompañante" limitado a ciertos tours....el Tour Leader en Cusco, Perú es casi un especialista en distintos temas de la cultura Inca, en rutas de turismo de aventura, trekkings, se encarga de las reservas de hoteles, restaurantes, administra los gastos del grupo, etc, etc. Por lo tanto sigo buscando una traducción mas adecuada que implique todo este trabajo. Quizás, especialista en turismo, sea mas adecuado, no se. Saludos,  

Patricita

Algunos que he escuchado por aquí: Líder logístico Líder de grupo Representante de la Agencia Saludos  

Hola Patricita, Muchas gracias por tu contribución. Lider de grupo o Líder logístico me parecen mas apropiados en mi caso. Saludos,

Amigos, Finalmente traduje Tour Leader, como Director de Operaciones Turísticas. Necesitaba esta traducción para poner el cargo de una persona en su tarjeta personal. Espero que esto le sirva a otras personas y muchas gracias a todos por su ayuda. Saludos

  • Nov 3, 2010

That sounds good for the meaning you were looking for. But it does suggest that the person oversees all of an agency's tours, rather than one at a time like tour leaders usually do.

67 Essential Spanish Travel Phrases Every Traveller Needs To Know

Olly Richards Headshot

Spain. Mexico. Argentina. Peru. Colombia.

If you're learning Spanish , the mere the mention of these countries can leave you daydreaming about your next trip abroad.

And although there are many incredible things to do and see in Spanish-speaking countries, what really makes these places special are the local people.

So before you pack your bags and jump on a plane, why not learn a little Spanish to help you make the most of your trip?

In this post, you’ll learn 67 Spanish phrases for travel that can help you survive in the language during your trip abroad. And who knows, they might even help you make a few new friends too!

To make it easier for you, I’ve divided the phrases up into different categories:

Table of Contents

Press play on the video below to learn Spanish travel phrases thanks to a story. Otherwise, keep scrolling to discover all 67 Spanish travel words and expressions.

First Things First: Greetings To Use On Arrival

Knowing how to greet people is the most basic thing you can learn in a foreign language. And yet its importance shouldn't be underestimated.

Even if you aren’t fluent enough to hold a long conversation, a simple ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?  (Hello, how are you?) can make all the difference.

You'll be able to use these expressions as soon as you arrive at your destination, whether it's at the airport, the train or bus station, or the hotel.

People appreciate it if you make an effort to speak their language when you visit their country, even if it’s only a few words.

Spanish-speaking countries are especially polite and greeting people correctly will go a long way towards endearing you to the locals, be they friends, people you meet in shops or on the street.

  • ( BWAY-nos DEE-as)
  • (BWAY-nas TAR-des)
  • (BWAY-nas NOH-chays)
  • (KOH-moh eh-STAH)
  • (KOH-moh eh-STAHS)
  • (bee-EN  GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])
  • (KOH-moh te YA-mas?)
  • (May YA-moh… )
  • (MOO-choh GOO-stoh)

And of course, let’s not forget common courtesy!

  • (por fa-BOR)
  • (GRA-thee-as [Spain] / GRA-see-as [Latin America])

If you get stuck in your Spanish conversation, you can always fall back on these next two phrases to get you out of trouble.

  • (yo no en-tee-EN-doh)
  • (Ab-la in-GLAYS)

Get What You Want On Your Trip With The Verb Querer 

Once you’ve finished greeting someone, you’ll need to be able to move on to the crux of your conversation and to do that you’ll need to learn a couple of common verbs.

There are hundreds of Spanish verbs to learn and, to make your life more difficult, these verbs conjugate (change form).

This means learning a verb is never as simple as learning one word; you have to learn multiple different forms.

Having said that, you might be surprised by how far you can get only knowing one simple verb: I want .

It may not make you the most sophisticated Spanish speaker but 9 times out of 10 it will get you what you, well, want .

The verb in question is querer (to want) and in the first person form, it becomes quiero (I want).

Let’s take a look at how you can use it:

  • (yo kee-EH-ro oon me-NOO)
  • (YO kee-EH-ro oon taxi)
  • (yo kee-EH-ro OO-na ser-BAY-za)

If you’d like to be a bit more polite (which is usually a good idea), you can also use:

  • (kee-see-EH-ra…)

Asking For & Understanding Directions On Your Trip

Whether you’re looking for the toilet in a restaurant or trying to find a hotel to stay at, you’ll inevitably need to ask for directions at some point during your trip.

The simplest way to ask where something is, is to use ¿Dónde está? followed by the noun you are looking for:

  • (DON-day es-TAH el BAH-nyo?)
  • (DON-day es-TAH el BAN-koh?)
  • (DON-day es-TAH la KA-yay de al-cal-AH?)

When travelling in a foreign country, if you're asking someone on the street for directions, don’t forget your manners! To get someone’s attention, start by saying:

  • (Dis-KUL-pay)
  • (Con per-MEE-soh / Per-DOH-nah-may)
  • (eh- stoy per-DEE-doh)

Asking for directions is one thing but it’s pretty pointless if you don’t know how to understand the directions that are given to you!

Memorise these phrases to help you understand what the friendly locals are trying to tell you when you ask for their help:

  • (A la de-RE-cha)
  • (A la iz-kee-ER-da)
  • (De-RE-cho)
  • (En la es-KEE-nah)
  • (a OO-na KWAD-rah)

Getting Around Spanish-Speaking Countries

If you’re not keen on walking everywhere, you'll need to be able to find out about local transport options to find your way around wherever you are.

Here are a few simple phrases you can use to locate a bus, train or taxi and get to wherever you need to go:

  • (DON-day PWAY-doh en-kon-TRAR oon taxi?)
  • (DON-day eh-STAH la pa-RAH-dah de ow-to-BOOS mas ser-KA-nah?)
  • (DON-day eh-STAH la es-tah-see-ON de ferro-carr-EEL mas ser-KA-nah?)
  • (KWAN-to KWES-ta oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra …)
  • (oon bee-YET-ay PA-ra … por fa-BOR)

At A Restaurant On Your Travels

Each Spanish-speaking country has its own unique flavours and cuisine for you to try when you travel!

Food is definitely one of the big attractions to cities like San Sebastian in Spain and Buenos Aires in Argentina , so you'll need to make sure you have a basic grasp of food vocabulary ahead of your journey!

To start with, you need to be prepared to hear and understand certain questions in restaurants, such as:

  • (kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra koh-MER?)
  • (kee-EH-res AL-go PA-ra beh-BER?)
  • (KAY kee-EH-res koh-MER?)

When you read the menu, you'll see the available food grouped into different categories, just like in an English menu:

  • (oo-na en-TRA-da)
  • (oon PLA-toh prin-si-PAL)
  • (oon POS-tray)
  • (OO-na beh-BEE-da)

When you're ready to order, use either  quiero (I want) or  quisiera (I would like) with the items on the menu to tell the waiter what you'd like. For example,  quiero…

  • (OO-na SOH-pah)
  • (OO-na en-sa-LA-da)
  • (el POY-oh)
  • (la CAR-nay)
  • (oon AG-wa)
  • (oon BEE-noh TIN-toh / BLAN-koh)
  • (OO-na ser-BAY-sa)
  • (oon ka-FAY)

So, for example, to order that ice-cold beer you're looking forward to at the end of a long day, you'd say  quiero una cerveza.

Spanish vocab pack

If you're not sure what to try, you can always ask your waiter for a recommendation:

  • (kay may re-kom-ee-EN-dah?)

In most restaurants in Spanish-speaking countries, the staff will be more than happy to suggest a particularly tasty local dish for you to try.

If you're a vegetarian or you have dietary complications, these next two phrases are essential:

  • (soy be-he-tah-ree-AH-noh/nah)
  • (TEN-go al-ER-hee-ah a las noo-EH-ses)

Finally, let's learn a couple of quick phrases you can use to ask about prices and pay the bill.

  • (KWAN-to KWES-ta? )
  • (la KWEN-ta por fa-BOR)

Key Spanish Question Words For Your Trip

Over the course of your journey, you'll almost certainly find yourself asking lots and lots of questions.

You might not have a huge Spanish vocabulary to draw on, but if you know the basic question words, you'll be able to get by in almost any common situation you might find yourself in.

Here are some key Spanish question words you need to know:

  • (KWAN-doh?)
  • (A kay AW-ra?)
  • (KWAN-toh?)
  • (KWAN-tohs)
  • (kah-dah KWAN-toh?)
  • (por KWAN-toh tee-EM-poh)

Once you’ve got these question words in your memory bank you’ll start noticing the patterns in Spanish grammar which will help you to move away from the basic Spanish phrases every tourist is using.

As you learn new words on your trip, you'll be able to combine them with these question words to start forming your own sentences and questions!

Get Ready For Adventure With These Spanish Travel Phrases!

Take the time to memorise these key Spanish travel phrases and you'll have everything you need to get the most out of your journey.

With just a few words of Spanish, I'm sure you'll meet lots of amazing people and have plenty of life-changing experiences along the way.

Who knows, perhaps spending some time visiting a Spanish-speaking country will motivate you to strive for fluency?

Beach guide: spanish river park in boca raton.

Boca Raton promises a two-mile wonderland of guarded beaches where you can fish, picnic, snorkel, and swim, including Spanish River Park , at 3001 N State Road A1A, Boca Raton, 33431, plus Red Reef Park , South Inlet Park , and South Beach Park .

Surfing or relaxing without the crowds. Spanish River’s beaches are clean and kicked back, and you’ll never have to fight for a spot to plant your beach umbrella or to ride a wave.

On the west side of Boca Raton's Ocean Boulevard, Spanish River delivers a natural wonderland of fishing in the Intracoastal, bird watching and nature trails. Go east to traverse the tunnels under the road: the reward is a vast beach framed by verdant dunes. The sand’s the color of rich cocoa, and the water is usually rolling with waves, which will vary according to winds, tides and offshore systems.

You can expect to see kids playing in the sand or tossing a Frisbee, beachgoers cooling off in the water, and surfers offshore. When the dog park is open—in a restricted area of the beach—you can anticipate wagging tails, as well.

On or near the beach

At Spanish River you can relax, work on your tan, and take a stroll by the shoreline to search for multi-hued seashells. Or bring your surfboard and ride the waves. Even when surfs up, crowds are unknown. Everyone in your posse is welcome—and that includes your pup, who can relish an off-leash beach romp at Spanish River’s Bark Park , open limited hours.

On the west side of Ocean Boulevard, nature awaits. Climb the 40-foot observation tower for a bird’s eye view of the park’s leafy and wild wonders; explore the shady nature trails; and picnic under the lush canopy of a banyan tree. For blow-your-mind snorkeling, visit Red Reef Park .

Accessibility

Beach mats are located at the middle tunnel of Spanish River. Beach wheel chairs are available; please speak to a gate attendant when you arrive.

Park amenities and experiences include a bird observation area, a canoe/kayak launch, fishing, picnic areas with 116 grills and 126 tables, a lagoon, a nature trail, pavilion rentals, a playground, restrooms, and sand volleyball.

Lifeguards are on duty seven days a week, year-round, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Daylight Standard Time.

Spanish River offers 930 parking spaces. Here’s information about costs .

Spanish City Names: Spanish place names in the US and worldwide

Adrian

Get our free email course, Shortcut to Conversational.

Have conversations faster, understand people when they speak fast, and other tested tips to learn faster.

Discovering new countries and immersing oneself in different cultures is a significant motivation for many people when learning Spanish. We’ve already covered Spanish country names  and nationalities , so in this post we’ll go a bit deeper and see all the Spanish city names you should know.

Whether you are embarking on a global adventure or simply organizing a visit to a couple of preferred destinations, having knowledge of city names in Spanish will undoubtedly prove useful throughout the journey.

You may be wondering why you should learn city names in Spanish. Well, many of the most famous cities in the world have unique names in different languages. Take Stockholm , for example, which in Spanish is Estocolmo .

One clear example of this is the famous Spanish Netflix series La Casa de Papel , called Money Heist  in English. Have you noticed how some Money Heist  characters’ names change between the Spanish and English versions? Since this is a good way to learn Spanish city names, here’s a list of all the Money Heist  names in both languages. We’ve highlighted the ones with different spellings between Spanish and English.

Interesting, isn’t it? Now let’s move beyond the Money Heist characters and see a bunch of other Spanish city names worldwide!

American City Names in Spanish

In the United States, you can find a fascinating blend of influences in the city names, ranging from British to French to Amerindian. There are even many US cities with Spanish names, though you don’t always pronounce them the same way in English. Let’s explore many American cities whose names differ between the two languages, such as New York  which becomes Nueva York  in Spanish.

American State Names

Now that we’ve explored some significant Spanish place names in the USA, let’s broaden our perspective and take a look at state names as well. Here we list the different US States in Spanish whose names differ between the two languages.

The Americas: City names in Spanish

In the Spanish-speaking world, when we use the word América , we are referring to the entire western hemisphere of the Americas, in contrast to most English speakers thinking of America as only referring to the United States of America.

In this list, we’ve included many capital cities and famous cities in América , from across North America, Central America, and South America.

We’ve only included Spanish city names that differ from the English version. In other words, you won’t find cities like Buenos Aires or Quito , because their names are the same in both languages.

You’ve surely noticed that certain Spanish city names are nearly identical, with the only variation being the presence of a written accent or tilde. We explain how vital these are for proper spelling and pronunciation in our post on Spanish accent marks .

Europe: City names in Spanish

Now we’ll cross the ocean to Europe! Let’s see the differences between these English and Spanish city names.

Asia: City names in Spanish

We continue our journey eastwards, where we include the regions of the Middle East, Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Check out all of these unique Asian city names in Spanish!

Africa: City names in Spanish

Moving towards the Equator we find the African continent, with famous cities like Cape Town and Kinshasa. Let’s see the Spanish city names for these African capitals.

Australia: City names in Spanish

Australia is a continent of its own in the South Pacific, with a few Spanish town names that differ from how they’re known in English.

Today we looked at the names of places in Spanish, showing that Spanish city names often differ from how you know them in English.

We started off by referencing a popular Netflix series, by listing all the Money Heist characters with Spanish city names. We saw that several of their names are different in the Spanish version of La Casa de Papel , like Tokio , Moscú , and Estocolmo .

With that introduction, we started our tour of world city names in Spanish. Once we’d seen the US cities with Spanish names, we even included the various US states with Spanish names. Then we moved on to lists of city names in Spanish by continent: América, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

By exploring world cities in Spanish, not only can you enhance your vocabulary but also your travel experiences, developing a greater appreciation for languages and cultures. Whether you’re seeking to understand the Spanish names of global destinations, or you’re just interested in the translations of city names in Spanish, each place’s essence is beautifully portrayed in Spanish.

Now that you know so many cities in Spanish, why not plan your next trip using these Spanish town names?
