Love sharing stories? Enjoy meeting new people? This could be the perfect gig for you!
St. John’s Walking Tours is looking for a friendly, engaging tour guide to lead visitors through the colourful streets of downtown St. John’s. If you’re someone who enjoys chatting about local history, culture, and quirky stories - and you love a good stroll - this could be a great way to spend your summer!
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Leading small groups on guided walking tours through downtown St. John’s (max 3km per tour)
- Sharing fun and fascinating stories about the city’s history, people, food, and culture (we’ll help with the research!)
- Keeping guests entertained, engaged, and safely together during the tour
- Answering visitor questions and offering recommendations for local restaurants, shops, and sights
- Coordinating with vendors for scheduled stops along the tour
- Encouraging guests to leave reviews and share their experience

- You know (or are excited to learn!) the stories of St. John’s
- You like being active and don’t mind walking a few kilometers at a leisurely pace
- Experience in teaching, theatre, or public speaking is a plus, but not required
- Fluency in French is an asset but not necessary
Why You’ll Love It:
- We're looking for someone 2-3 days/week, between Tues & Sun
- A fun, social job where no two tours are exactly the same
- Meet people from all over the world and share what makes St. John’s special
- Get your steps in while enjoying the fresh air
- No office work - just good conversation and great company
This is a seasonal, part-time chance, perfect for a university student, teacher, someone who is retired or semi-retired and looking for a fun, low-stress way to stay active and engaged in the community.
