Tour guide

A tour guide leads visitors through cities, museums, historic sites, parks, or regions and makes the place come alive. You plan the route, research the history and stories, keep the group on schedule, answer questions, handle small problems, and make sure people feel safe and welcome. Depending on the job, you might lead walking tours, bus tours, nature hikes, or multi-day trips, and you may speak more than one language. You deal with travelers, hotels, transportation companies, and local businesses, and you spend most of your day outdoors or on the move.
