[quote=RITA ,20449]Well, guide and travel companion are quite different. In present day China, all the licenced tour guides have to work for travel agencies, free lance tour guides are not legal by this time. They work for travel agencies and are responsible for their companies, service qualities thus can be guaranteed. In case there is anything or accidents, you get somewhere and could find some one to claim a refund or a reasonable resolution.There are quite a number of 'underground' tour guides seeking business by themselves around almost all the major travel attactions. There are lots of Hidden troubles. If the Travel Companion you mean happens to be your friend/s or people you've known, that's very good, even better than tour guides. But if that is not the case, to tell the truth, 'travel companion' is not a good word. It indicates something bad behind its literal meaning. Such as they yeah extremely high prices and offer some 'special' services. Most of them are not professional guides, they might not have much knowledge about the places you'll visit. They earn money by companion, it has nothing to do with 'travel'.Like California said, they are same in some way, 'some' here means 'little'.That's my understanding of tour guides and travel companions. :-)Good luck![/quote]
