A sightseeing tour is a guided trip or excursion to various attractions and landmarks within a particular city, region or country. The purpose of such tours is for visitors to see and experience the sights and sounds of a place while learning about its history, culture and architecture through informative commentary provided by a guide. Sightseeing tours can be done on foot, by bus, boat, bike or even helicopter depending on the location and preferences of the tourists. These tours are popular among travelers who want to make the most out of their limited time in a new place while getting an insider's perspective on what makes that destination unique.
