Tour Guide — Spanish & Mandarin Speakers at Oxbridge Alumni Tours

We've been running tours of Cambridge and Oxford since 2013, and more recently London as well. All of our guides studied at the university they show people round, or are still studying there. It's the reason people book with us. They want to hear about the place from someone who actually lived it.

We're looking for students and recent graduates from Cambridge, Oxford and the London universities to join us as guides. You'd be guiding in the city where you studied. Experience isn't necessary because we train everyone on the routes and the stories ourselves. There's also the option to do some ticket selling on top of the guiding if you want to earn more.

We're building up our tours in other languages at the moment, so if you speak Spanish or Mandarin we'd be particularly pleased to hear from you. Everyone else is welcome to apply too.

The job

• Leading walking tours in your city. Mostly the colleges and the main historical sights, plus ghost tours in the evenings.
• Groups are capped at 25 people per guide, so it stays fairly informal.
• Looking after the guests. Our tours aren't cheap and people expect to be looked after well.

Who we're after

• Current students or recent graduates of Cambridge, Oxford or a London university
• Comfortable talking to a group and holding their attention
• Reliable, punctual and presentable
• Some flexibility in term time and over the holidays
• Spanish or Mandarin is a big plus

What's in it for you

• Seasonal hours that fit around your degree
• Decent pay. A lot of our guides come back every summer.
• Proper training on the routes, the history and how to run a group
• A small company run by former students, where you'll know everyone by name
