Tour Guide
Job Description
As a tour guide, your job will involve introducing tourists to the UK’s unique and popular attractions, such as historical monuments, botanical gardens, Royal Parks, museums, art galleries and other areas of cultural interest.
If you enter this profession, your primary responsibilities will include planning and organising tours around a certain area of interest. You will play the role of a cultural ambassador, offering commentary and interesting titbits of information, which will allow visitors to fully experience and enjoy the UK’s social, cultural and historical highlights.
You’ll most likely work as a freelancer, but you must also be registered with a local, regional or national tourism regulation board. Some tour guides are also employed by licensed tour operators, travel guide companies, the National Trust and local councils.
