EXPERIENCED FREELANCE TOUR LEADERS

Our group departures only require a European leader when a certain number of clients are booked. It is impossible therefore to know what extra staff we will require and when, but we keep a detailed database of leaders and call upon them as and when needed. If you feel that you fulfil the attributes listed below and would like to be added to our database then please contact us.

The basic attributes required for a tour leader include the following:

  1. Personal travel experience, especially in developing countries.
  2. Languages and/or a confidence to be able to communicate with the local people if the language is not spoken (we would not expect you to speak fluent Greek for example!).
  3. Patience and the ability to be able to get on people who may come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
  4. Broad experience of walking in mountains.
  5. A Mountian leader qualification.
  6. A good degree of physical fitness.
  7. A First Aid qualification.
  8. Experience of working with children for certain trips.
  9. Flexibility, adaptability and the ability to be 'on duty' 24 hours a day!
