Why us!!

Our teams of tour guides who left their tour escort positions with tour companies use their travel industry connections and experience to become freelance guides. Tour companies often need guides with expertise in certain areas to guide their less frequent tours, especially if the company is small or doesn't visit the area regularly.
Our independent freelance guides are usually paid by the day, make more money than salaried guides, and can pretty much set their own work schedules, taking time off whenever they feel like it. They can also pick and choose assignments, touring the areas that they most enjoy.

We freelancers usually specialize in the city or area in which we live and essentially serve as step-on guides for the larger tours visiting our area, guiding the tours according to the tour company's instructions, but using our local knowledge and expertise.

We are independent eventually functioning almost as our own tour company, arranging our own tours, setting up accommodations, and finding customers to take the trips, often in collaboration with a travel agency. This offers a great opportunity for the entrepreneurial-minded by giving the tour guide a percentage of the profits from the tour, and is often the first step toward establishment of a true tour company.

Although this arrangement is fine for the more experienced guides who can easily find work, it makes finding a position more difficult for someone just breaking into the business, since our company usually hire freelancers who have some proven experience.
