Our tours operate on a pay-as-you-wish model, giving guides the opportunity to earn significantly more through guest tips. During your first month, we guarantee minimum earnings of $80 for each approximately two-hour tour, equivalent to at least $40 per hour.

Depending on availability and scheduling, guides may lead up to two tours per day, providing guaranteed minimum earnings of $160. Experienced guides with strong guest reviews and established presentation skills may earn considerably more, with some earning up to $350.

Provide excellent customer service before, during, and after each tour
Coordinate group arrivals, departures, and other basic tour logistics
Follow established routes, company guidelines, and safety procedures
Use storytelling, humor, and audience engagement to bring each tour to life
Lead tours in English or Spanish, depending on language ability and scheduling

Qualifications

Strong communication and public-speaking skills
Friendly, outgoing, dependable, and comfortable speaking in front of groups
Fluent English required
Fluency in Spanish is a major advantage
Ability to memorize historical information and present it naturally
Strong time-management and organizational skills
Excellent customer-service skills
Genuine interest in San Diego, history, culture, travel, or storytelling
Comfortable walking and standing outdoors for approximately two hours

You will receive professional training in storytelling, public speaking, group management, local history, and tour development. You will also have the opportunity to build valuable presentation skills while earning excellent hourly compensation.
