Step-on Tour Guide Jobs

Tour escorts and guides are often asked to take their groups to unfamiliar areas or places that require unique or specialized knowledge that the escort can't easily learn.

Tour companies get around this problem by hiring a guide from the area who simply "steps on" the tour bus and temporarily takes over the tour (or at least the narration part of the tour) in that particular area. These guides are popularly called step-on tour guides, and can be found in most major cities and popular destinations. In addition to being fun for anyone who likes meeting new people, lecturing, and generally showing off local knowledge, working as a step-on guide is a great way to get tour and public relations experience which can lead to premier tour positions with cruise lines or large, world-wide tour companies.
