The Revolutionary Story Tour in Boston seeks a part-time guide with potential for full-time growth. You’ll lead energetic, historically informed walking tours, engaging diverse guests in an accessible, entertaining narrative about America's founding.
Ideal candidates are passionate, hardworking, intelligent, and friendly, with a strong voice suited to outdoor settings. Availability for peak summer and September/October cruise months is essential, with a flexible schedule and room for growth.
I have a unique opportunity for a unique personality. I am the creator of The Revolutionary Story Tour, a successful and highly rated walking tour of Boston. (Boston Magazine's Best Historical Walking Tour, Viator Experience Award Winner). We are about halfway through the 2026 season, but I am looking for an additional part-time guide (with full-time potential) to help with increased demand during the rest of this year and beyond.
My mission is to combine the best research and literature on the Revolution with the fun of exploring a new city to give visitors to Boston a high-quality and one-of-a-kind cultural experience. The final product is a comprehensive political, philosophical, religious, psychological, and sociological exploration of America's founding delivered in a very energetic, light-hearted, and humorous narrative.
The job is very demanding, requiring physical dexterity, mental agility, a deep understanding of the history, and an outgoing personality. That being said, once you get it all down, giving the tours becomes that much more fun and fulfilling to share.
I'm looking for somebody hard-working, intelligent, friendly, and passionate.
Pay will be a combination of hourly wages, tips, and performance incentives.
