Tour Host + Driver

About Localing

Localing creates and delivers premium, bespoke local experiences across Australia, including Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania.

About the role

As a Localing host, you welcome guests, drive and host them through the day, and bring your city and region to life along the way. No two days are the same: one might be a relaxed food and wine walk, the next a full VVIP itinerary with a tight schedule. Workdays run between 4 and 12 hours depending on the tour, and all our hosts drive and guide.

Why you'll love it

• You take on the tours that suit your schedule, so the role pairs well with other commitments
• Plenty of work through peak season and beyond
• Varied, genuinely enjoyable work with the right touch of challenge
• Spend your workday in your city's best venues, laneways, wineries and lookouts

About you

Previous guiding experience isn't essential. You do need to know your city properly: the key precincts, how to move between them, and the places worth a detour and some of the most popular regional areas. If you can talk about a laneway, a gallery, a winery or a lookout with real interest rather than a memorised script, you'll fit right in.

You are:

• A natural storyteller with genuine enthusiasm for people
• Somebody with real interest in one or more of: culture, food and wine, wildlife, history, music, arts, fashion
• Responsible, self-motivated, and comfortable running a day on your own
• Warm, reliable, and able to read a room
• Comfortable and confident driving inside and outside the city
• Proficiency in a second language is highly regarded

Requirements

• Over 25 years of age
• Hold an ABN (contractor role)
• Valid, unrestricted Australian driver's license
• Valid first aid certification, or willingness to obtain one
• Passenger transport license in your state, or willingness to obtain one

Availability

• ⁠Good availability across the summer season
• Must have availability for a solid portion of the holiday weeks, including some public holidays
