    POSITION TITLE: Tour Leader
    LOCATION: Various
    START DATE: To be advised
    SALARY: To be advised

    JOB DESCRIPTION:
    As a Terraxplora Tour Leader, you’ll be the person who turns a group of strangers into a proper travel crew. You’ll lead our small-group adventures across our destinations, making sure everything runs smoothly, safely, and with good vibes from day one to the final goodbye hug.
    You’ll handle logistics, keep the group together, manage expectations, and make sure everyone feels looked after, even when plans change (because sometimes they do).
    This is a hands-on, high-energy role. You’ll be away from home, on your feet, and fully “on” for long days. During trips, the job is full-time, including evenings and weekends.
    You must be available for at least one month per year (minimum two trips annually).
    Experienced Tour leaders can start immediately.
    New to leading? No problem, full training will be provided.

    Important note:
    You are not expected to deliver historical lectures or scripted explanations. Your role is to lead the group, manage the experience, and create a smooth, social, and safe journey, while local guides handle in-depth cultural or historical guiding when needed.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    You must…
    • Have solid travel experience (solo travel, backpacking, or group travel).
    • Have good knowledge of the country you are applying for, including its geography, culture, and customs. Knowledge of additional destinations is a plus.
    • Be outgoing, social, energetic, responsible, and genuinely enjoy working with people.
    • Be confident leading groups of 6 to 14 people and communicating clearly and effectively.
    • Be capable of managing health, safety, and unexpected situations in unpredictable environments, and responding calmly when things go wrong.
    • Speak good English.
    • Be organised, reliable, and punctual with all administrative duties.
    • Be personable, enthusiastic, and able to connect with people of different ages, nationalities, and backgrounds.
    • Be comfortable creating social media content, including: Filming daily group moments, Taking group photos, Talking to the camera and sharing insights, Recording end-of-trip video testimonials, Uploading content daily to the Terraxplora team

    IMPORTANT: Please read the following BEFORE applying for this job.

    Being a TERRAXPLORA Tour Leader is an awesome opportunity where you will have unforgettable experiences and make friends and memories to last a lifetime! However, it will most definitely be a lot harder than you are imagining and there can be downsides to the role which you must be aware of and fully understand and consider before applying.
    • You are not on holiday, your group members are.
    • It is your primary responsibility to make sure their trip is safe, enjoyable and runs as smoothly as possible.
    • You should not apply for the Group Leader role if your sole reason is because you want to travel.
    • You are there to give EVERY single group member the best experience possible. If you can only give that experience to 80% of your Group, then please reconsider your application.
    • People in your group may get sick, suffer culture shock, become emotional, complain a lot or even take a personal dislike to you. You may not get along with particular people. However you are still expected to do a great job and provide excellent service to your entire group regardless of any of the above.
    • If you have a partner and/or children, carefully consider the impact of being away from home for extended periods. Partners cannot join trips, and we generally do not accept couples applying together.
    • While Terraxplora will support you as much as possible, there will be situations where no immediate support is available (due to time differences, limited connectivity, or remote locations). You must be confident in your decision-making, problem-solving, and ability to think on your feet and be prepared to handle the consequences.
    • Our itinerary is fixed and you will be making the same journey repeatedly, which some people might find repetitive or tiring.
    • This job is all about people. You have to be comfortable spending large amounts of time, sharing and living with people of different nationalities, ages and backgrounds.

    If you fully understand all of the above, are serious about becoming a Tour Leader, and genuinely feel you have what it takes, we would love to hear from you. Welcome to Terraxplora.
    Write us at jobs@terraxplora.eu (even better with a short video introduction) and we’ll be happy to schedule a conversation with you.
