Tour Directors are the face of Holiday Vacations and the leader on the ground for every tour. As our guests’ primary guide and point of contact from the first welcome to the final farewell, you bring each destination to life through engaging storytelling, keep every detail of the itinerary running smoothly, and solve problems as they happen: calmly, confidently, and independently.

Your care and concern directly shape the guest experience: you notice the little things, anticipate needs, offer reassurance when plans change, and help every guest feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely valued throughout the journey. You also use technology with confidence and keep timecards, expenses, and tour paperwork organized and on track - so the behind-the-scenes details stay tidy and everyone can focus on the fun.

Holiday Vacation Tour Directors must be domiciled in one of the following states: AR, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, , LA, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, NH, NV, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI.
