FAQs

Do I have to have tour guide experience? The short answer is no, you do not. However, having tour guide experience is preferred. This makes your onboarding much quicker. Most folks that have never led tours underestimate the amount of work that goes into it.

Can I choose my own schedule? Yes, within reason. During the summer we offer tours 7-days a week between the hours of 10am5pm.

Do you offer scripts or do I have to write my own tours? Both. We have a library of incredible walking tour scripts that you’re more than welcomed to learn! But if you want to bring your own ideas that is great too! In fact, we will often times BUY your tour script from you (if you want to sell).
