Getting Started Almost any job can lead on to guiding. A good training course will help with finding a job. If you are able to stay away for overnight tours working as a tour guide, there is more work available.

Qualifications and Training When looking for the right training course, it is definitely a case of ‘Buyer beware’. #1 TIPS: Ask the course tutor to give you the names and telephone numbers of successful ex-students who are prepared to give the course a recommendation.

WHAT’S NEXT Do you want to be… REGISTERED GUIDE Apply to your regional tourist board. TOUR GUIDE/MANAGER SPECIALIZED GUIDE

ACHTUNG: YOUR LANGUAGE As you work your way to tour director you will need to be able to speak relevant languages fluently. #1 TIPS: Take a good first-aid course. Many tour operators now insist on this qualification, and it is essential when working with older clientele.

ONE LAST QUESTION: IS THIS THE JOB FOR YOU? Do you like people? Do you enjoy delving into reference books? Are you organized in your business life, and able to work on your own? Are you capable of promoting yourself to companies? Are you fizzing with ideas to make visits more interesting for visitors? Can you dress smartly when working? Do you have bags of stamina?
