How to hide the Guided Tours Feature

When you become proficient using your website's Dashboard, you may wish to turn off this feature until you need to use it again.

For example: when the developer of a 3rd party extension creates a Guided Tour of their extension (with which you are not familiar).

This can be done via the Plugins screen - see image below.
