For the first screening, candidates attend one-on-one interviews, group interviews that include simulation training, and team-building activities. We look for the following qualities:

• Professional yet fun-loving
• Positive and infectious energy
• Confident and outgoing
• Open-minded and approachable
• Disciplined and forward-thinking
• Resourceful and quick-thinking

A second screening takes place where candidates must complete 25 hours of classroom training. Then, once background checks are completed through an independent agency, a final screening unfolds with over 50 hours of practical training where candidates shadow a senior Tour Leader during a class trip.

The candidates who make it through this process are hired to accompany your group 24/7 and bring your itinerary to life. As destination experts and multi-linguists, they act as an extension of your class trip’s curriculum objectives. They also do much of the heavy lifting for you, such as:

• Guiding your group through the day’s activities
• Helping everyone stay organized, prepared and on schedule
• Assisting chaperones with head counts and bed checks
• Safeguarding your group through busy streets and activity sites
• Responding to emergencies and coordinating on-site support
• Keeping your students engaged with stories, jokes, songs, games and more
