Travel agencies and tour operators look first at your right to guide, your working languages and your knowledge of the region. In many countries professional guiding is regulated, so state your licence or badge clearly.

Write your licence or badge details

State the scope of your guiding licence (national or regional) and your working languages. You don't need to share the licence number - saying it is valid is enough.

Separate the tours you specialise in

Cultural tours, walking and hiking, cruise excursions and city day tours are different jobs. List the regions and tour types you work in.

Give group sizes and seasons

Say how large your groups are and how many seasons you have been active. If agencies rebook you or guests leave strong feedback, mention it in concrete terms.

What Every Tour Guide CV Should Include

  • Guiding licence and scope
  • Working languages and levels
  • Regions and tour types
  • Group size and seasons

Example Work Experience Lines

Write your experience in the same concrete, measurable way:

  • "Led English-language cultural tours for groups of 30-40 guests across two UNESCO heritage regions."
  • "Ran four city day tours a week for cruise passengers during the season."
