Tour Advisor

Tour Advisors should have a strong knowledge of available attractions and tourist services. You’ll need to be highly organised and should be able to handle multiple tasks at one time. Tour Advisors should have excellent customer service skills and must be able to communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds.
