Job description

Do you dream of inspiring travellers and helping them fall in love with their destination by immersing them in your local culture and exposing them to real life experiences? Being a Tour Leader with Intrepid, you will do just that!Every day will be different, but every day you will:

• Provide exceptional customer service and travel advice – whether it’s guiding a morning market exploration, organising a hands-on craft workshop, or arranging a home-cooked meal with a local family, you’ll create unforgettable moments that our travellers will never forget.
• Ensure the safety and well-being of your travellers – at times, you may need to assist in challenging situations while remaining calm and professional. A traveller might lose their passport, require medical attention, or there may be a clash of personalities, and you will be their first point of contact.
• Host, lead, and execute tours within budget, follow the itinerary, and complete your administrative duties with precision.
• Share your passion for travel – inspire our customers with your love for travel, embodying our core values of being Ambitious, Impactful, Real, and Together at every step of the journey.

To be considered you must have:

• Excellent communication skills in English and Spanish (the more languages the better!)
• Strong customer service experience, with the ability to build rapport with a diverse range of travellers.
• Travel experience across Spain, including the Camino de Santiago, and a passion for sharing these regions with travellers.
• Basic computer skills, including experience with email, Word, and Excel.
• A valid passport along with full rights to work within the EU and the ability to travel to Morocco.
• A passion for travel and a commitment to Intrepid Travel’s responsible travel philosophy.

• We offer a “fijo discontinuo” contract position.
• We are recruiting for leaders frequently, with training and onboarding starting in July 2025 – specific dates will be provided at the interview.
• A valid first-aid certificate is required (this can be obtained during training).
• With extended hours, lots of walking, activities, and engaging with travellers, it is essential to be mentally and physically prepared for the challenge.
• You must be able to travel and spend extended periods away from home, as our leaders often work for long durations, with some tours spanning up to four weeks.
• You will be running tours through Spain (and sometimes Portugal and beyond). Check out some example itineraries here: www.intrepidtravel.com.
