As a tour guide my activities belonging to show groups/tourist round attractions such as historic monuments, cultural centres and beauty spots, and provide them with background information to help them make the most of their visit. They may work with day-trippers or on walking tours, or support tourists on longer visits that involve overnight stays, perhaps to rural or remote locations. Tour guide jobs sometimes also call for chauffeuring and language skills. Typical responsibilities include: undertaking research and planning tours preparing and giving presentations offering sightseeing advice organising and leading excursions problem solving translating and interpreting transporting and accompanying tourists. Many tour guides work on a seasonal basis and combine tour guiding with other work, but there are full-time roles available.
