Memphis - Cruiseline Tour Group Tour Guide And Tour Assistant

Red Stick Adventures is looking for Tour Group Assistants (we also call these Tour Escorts) and Tour Guides to accompany and assist our cruise line guests on their in port scheduled excursions by motorcoach. Tour Guides will give guided narrated tours to guests and be available to assist on site and answer questions and other duties as needed. Tour Group Assistants will escort groups on excursions and assist with operations at shore-based locations.

This is a pretty fun position, but does require enthusiasm, and the ability to successfully work with people and to speak to people. It is a part-time/seasonal contract opportunity and a great position especially for side income, teachers in the summer (or weekends), actors, retirees, servers, or whoever likes people. Those with issues of attendance, maturity, and transportation issues, need not apply. Please do not apply if you are not HONESTLY interested in this position.

Tourism and hospitality industry experience is NOT needed, though it is helpful if you have worked with the public before. Priority in response is given to candidates with equivalent experience (customer service, hospitality, service industry, teaching, public speaking, acting etc.). It also is helpful to have some basic information about the area in case guests ask you questions (we will cover this in training).
