Vantaggi
I was very lucky to be employed at Go West as a tour guide for a couple of years until covid hit. The whole team was so nice and there was great camaraderie between all guides. Communications were always good and if you put your best foot forward, you were rewarded.
If you like driving and working with people this is a fantastic job. You are out and about in some of Victoria's most beautiful locations all day.
It honestly never got old, I always went to work happy and I'm sad I'm no longer based in Melbourne or else I'd be back working for them.
Pro's:
- Great team
- Good on the job training
- Beautiful locations
- Very rewarding working a job that actively makes people happy
- Just lots of fun!!
- Decent pay
- Long days means you have more days a week off
Seriously if you want to be a tour guide, there's no better company in Melbourne you could work for!
Svantaggi
- You need to be ok with very long driving hours, early start/late finish
- No guaranteed hours (but if you do your job well, there will be plenty of work for you)
