Tour guides are the first point of contact for tourists and travelers on site, which is why they are always available to provide advice and assistance. Tour guides, travel advisors and tourism specialists are also representatives of the destination region and/or the tour operator. They therefore bear a high level of responsibility - not only towards guests and tourists, but also towards their employer. They are employed as site tour guides or can also offer their services as freelance tour guides - e.g. on guided group tours. Their most important goal is to ensure that their customers have an unforgettable and, above all, safe stay.

Have you been bitten by the travel bug for a long time? Are you fascinated by foreign cultures and do you speak one or more foreign languages? Are you independent and open-minded and looking for adventure in the big wide world? If you also have a talent for organization, a tour guide training course - e.g. as a travel advisor - would certainly suit you very well and would be an ideal springboard into a challenging and interesting career in the tourism industry.

Depending on the provider, the tour guide training is sometimes completed via distance learning and takes around 6 to 9 months. However, study times vary depending on the school or course. In addition to specialist knowledge, you will also learn about countries and destinations as well as travel regulations, marketing and sales or the production of travel packages.
