Tour guide salaries are typically low, ranging between £12,000 and £20,000, although you may be able to supplement your income by receiving tips from generous tourists or commission payments from tourist attractions.
Full-time employment is possible, but many tour guides work on seasonal contracts during the peak tourist seasons.
Payment rates are often calculated on a daily basis, and may or may not include expenses for food and accommodation (on overnight or multi-location tours). However, in large tour guide companies, these may be offered as part of the employment package.
