Bicycle Tour Guide

New Orleans LA

Description

Thanks for your interest in being an independent contractor with Flambeaux Bicycle Tours! We are currently looking for folks with personality that have a knack for storytelling. Needless to say, but an abundant love for New Orleans is a must! As a small business that thrives on reputation, we are looking for folks that enjoy interacting with people of various cultures, that take care to have a neat appearance, and have good hygiene (wearing deodorant is a requirement). At Flambeaux we seek to give a well rounded history of New Orleans. Applicants must feel as comfortable sharing about Bulbancha, Juan San Malo, the Haitian Revolution, and the New Orleans Massacre of 1866, as they are about Bienville, Manon Lescaut, and Jean Lafitte. Bicycle Guides must have a basic understanding of bike mechanics. If the applicant is applying for a bicycle tour guide position and doesn’t posses this knowledge training can be provided. But if the applicant doesn’t think that changing a flat tire while on a tour is a skill that can be acquired, a bicycle guide may not be the best fit. Our bicycle tours are 3 hours long. The guide must have a current tour guide permit and be capable of doing our Downtown tour, Uptown tour, and Mid-City tour. The guide will be required to come in 30 minutes prior to the tour to set up, and clean equipment after the tour. We pay on a sliding scale based on how many people you have on the tour you're giving. We won’t operate a tour unless we have a minimum of 2 people and typically max out at 10. The pay scale is: 2-4 people = $60 + tips 5-8 people = $70 + tips 9 or more = $80 + tips If we’re describing you above please fill out the form on this link () and we will get back to you just as soon as we can. Thanks! The Flambeaux Team
