I know what "que tienes" means and I know what "la guía" means. Does this mean: you have to be the guide? If so, I would have thought it would be tienes que la guía. Thanks for any responses.

"tú que tienes la guía" = you that have the guide book
you've got the guide book = tu tienes la guía
See the diff?

btw, guía in this case could also mean "guidance" - chileno, Feb 16, 2015

You've got the guide book That is the word for word. There may be another idiomatic usage. I could imagine it being used to say something like, "You've got the right idea." But that's just a guess on my part. I have never heard it used in that fashion.
"El guía" a guide (un guía turístico) There are other uses for the masculine form according to Webster's.
"La guía" a guide book or atlas or railroad timetable and other things of that sort.
