Job Description

Independent contractor | On-call gig | Long-term collaboration | High earning potential

We are looking for a French speaker for a long-term collaboration to join our team as a tour guide, storyteller, and narrator in New York City.

🔹 The Role Includes:

Conducting walking tours

Telling stories live to guests

Creating photos and short videos during tours for social media

Promoting additional tours or tickets when appropriate

A passion for photography or videography is a strong plus.

This role is about telling stories about New York and America — history, culture, movies, music, and iconic figures — both to a live audience and on camera.

💰 Compensation (Clear & Transparent)

Hourly tour rates: $18–$75, depending on tour type, experience level, and overall performance

Higher-paying tours assigned based on reliability, guest feedback, and reviews

Gratuities are an important part of total compensation; while never guaranteed, our guides typically receive consistent and solid tips

Bonuses and performance incentives available for top performers

Additional commissions earned by selling extra tickets or promoting additional tours

Candidates with sales or marketing experience can realistically double or even triple their income, as we offer some of the highest commissions in the U.S. for tours sold through our website

🤝 Type of Collaboration

This is not an employer–employee position.
It is an on-call, independent contractor collaboration.

That said, we strongly value long-term relationships:

We prioritize working with the same trusted contractors

Strong performers receive more tours and better opportunities

We consider our guides part of our family and core team, not disposable freelancers

This is not a full-time position, but during the busy season it can become a solid and consistent side income, and for the right multilingual, sales-oriented candidate, a stable year-round opportunity.

Age is not important.
This role is ideal for teachers, retired professionals, or anyone seeking a meaningful, flexible, people-focused position.

🎤 Ideal Candidate

French speaker

Fluent English required (additional languages are a big plus)

Passion for books, reading, history, movies, music, and American pop culture

Strong storytelling and communication skills

Confident, extroverted, and comfortable speaking to groups

Not camera-shy

Interested in photography, video, or social media

Reliable, professional, and serious

Sales or marketing mindset is a major advantage

Education and background are not important — passion and knowledge matter most

🎓 Training Provided

No prior tour-guide experience required.
We provide full training, storytelling structure, and ongoing support.

📩 How to Apply

Please send:

A short introduction

Your language skills

A link to your Instagram profile

Even better: a short video introduction (1–2 minutes)

Tell us how many books you read in 2025 and which ones

Experience in hospitality, teaching, sales, marketing, storytelling, photography, video, or content creation is a plus.
