TOUR DIRECTORS:
Welcome to Maple Leaf Tours, we’re glad you found us! Are you a Hodophile? It’s the very word for travel lovers – a Hodophile is “One who loves to travel.” If that’s you – you’re in luck! We are looking to add to our dynamic and fun team of professional Tour Directors for our growing Maple Leaf Tour, Travel and Cruise adventures!
A Maple Leaf Tour Director is responsible for leading a group on a travel experience over several days with the same guests. We are jack-of-all-trades: we deliver commentary about the sights, handle the organization and logistics of getting the group to and from where they need to be, using a motor coach, airline or cruise ship as transportation. We “bring the fun” or “transportainment” by acting as an entertaining presence on the microphone, enriching the group travel experience, and promoting bonding over the days spent together. Being a Maple Leaf Tour Director is one of the most rewarding ways to spend your days: interacting with people, traveling the world, exploring and researching new destinations, and delivering experiences to guests that they will remember for the rest of their lives. You’ll find this experience so rewarding that you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier!
If this is right up your alley, giddy up! Send along a snippet of your life and travel experiences and let us know how you could make Maple Leaf Tours EPIC for our guests.
