visitor

Usage Note

Visita can denote the act of visiting (hacer una visita = 'to pay a visit') or the person visiting (tenemos visita esta tarde = 'we have a guest this afternoon'). This dual use — referring to both the event and the person — is a quirk learners should note. Visita guiada means 'guided tour.' The verb pair is visitar.
