  • Travel experience throughout Central Europe (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Germany) and across wider Europe. 

  • Experience sharing local knowledge, travel advice or cultural insights in a customer-facing environment. 

  • Basic computer skills, including experience using email, Microsoft Word and Excel. 

  • Full rights to work across the regions where tours operate. 

 

We know people bring different experiences and perspectives, so even if you don’t tick every box, we still encourage you to apply. 

 

What you need to know about this role  

 

  • This is a freelance contract position. 

  • Strong availability during peak travel seasons (May to June and September to October) is essential. 

  • We recruit Tour Leaders regularly, with training and onboarding dates shared throughout the recruitment process.
