<div>About Us Let’s go on an adventure together!   Hey there, we’re G Adventures. We’re one of the world’s leading small group travel companies, and we’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you. For the last 35 years, we’ve set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. And not to mention, as few selfie sticks as possible. Just real humans, travelling your heart out across the world with open minds and a non-stop desire to make our planet better, simply by exploring it.  At G Adventures, our DNA (or GNA, if you will) is built on belonging — where bringing your authentic self to work every day isn’t just accepted, it’s downright celebrated. For our office crew — you wanna rock a t-shirt with your dog’s face on it? We say go for it. For our Chief Experience Officers —  you wanna hit the road and call some of the most epic places on Earth your home office? We love that — and we’ve got you. Wanna spend your days with people you genuinely like? Us too — and we’re pretty sure you’ll fit right in, wherever that is.  Now about that career of yours — this is the kind of place where you can spread your wings and truly grow into your role. The best part? You get to do it all alongside a passionate, freakishly talented, one-of-a-kind bunch excited to produce top-notch work and spread a ridiculous amount of goodness at the same time.  Feel like this could be the right fit? We think so too, and we’re already way too excited to meet you. <h1>About the Role</h1> Do you believe travel can change lives? Not just for travellers — but for the people and places they visit? Do you thrive in unpredictable days, long bus rides, spontaneous problem-solving, and conversations with strangers who quickly feel like friends? Then you might be exactly who we’re looking for. At G Adventures, we don’t call our tour leaders “tour leaders.” We call them Chief Experience Officers (CEOs). Our founder gave up the title because he believes the true leaders of this company are the ones out in the world, face-to-face with our travellers every single day. You’re not just running a trip. You’re shaping an experience. You’re the reason a good tour becomes an unforgettable one. Before we go further, please ensure you are legally able to lead tours and drive through the following countries:<ul><li style="color:#000000 !important">United States of America</li></ul> <h1>What You’ll Actually Be Doing</h1>This role lives at the intersection of logistics, leadership, storytelling, and heart.

You won’t have two days that look the same. You won’t just be guiding tours. You’ll be creating moments travellers talk about for the rest of their lives — while helping the people and places you visit, too. If that sounds like the kind of work you want to do, we can’t wait to meet you.
