Land Based Tour Guide Jobs

Working in the tour business pays well, comes with many perks, and can be a ton of fun. Many people become tour guides when they’re in college, working for cruise lines and tour operators seasonally. The jobs usually come with a base wage plus tips and perhaps even travel benefits and discounts from vendors on the tour route. Guiding is also great for retirees. It’s a profession that can be done locally – in some places – or far from home.

Here we give you an overview of the industry, descriptions of the common tour guide jobs, and much more – including access to new job listings!
