Freelance Tour Director

Do you enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places? Do you thrive in ever-changing environments and excel under pressure? Are you passionate about helping young travellers learn more about the world and themselves? If you answered “yes” to the above, you’ve come to the right place!

At EF, the role of a Tour Director is both challenging and rewarding. Tour Directors work alongside EF to help students and teachers from North America discover the world through educational travel. No two days are ever the same, and there is never a dull moment on tour.

Two things every Tour Director has in common is a love for travel and a passion for sharing their experience and knowledge with others. Great organizational and interpersonal skills are necessary for everything including liaising with suppliers, managing tour logistics, connecting with students, and leading fun, educational activities.
