Aberdeen, United Kingdom EatWalk Full time

Did you know Scotland was once the largest exporter of bottled beer in the world and we started exporting beer 200 years before we started exporting whisky? Or that haggis originates from the Vikings?

Do you have a passion and enthusiasm for history and meeting new people? Would you love it even more if you had the chance to create connections over local food and drink and great stories? This is the perfect opportunity for you.

Since 2011, locals and visitors from across the world have been joining Eat Walk’s food tours and ScotBeer’s Pub History Tours. We’re a small team creating memorable experiences and delivering happiness through storytelling, food and drink. Take a look at our reviews to see what people have shared about their time with us

- Deliver engaging and memorable food and drink walking tours for groups of 2-20 guests using tested formats
- Share your own stories and knowledge and actively listen to those of guests to create a tailored and personal experience
- Resolve any challenges that may arise during tours by working collaboratively with our venues and operations team to maintain our high guest satisfaction rate
- Share your love of your home - its history, architecture and food and drink
- Contribute to our continuous improvement by providing feedback and suggestions

**What’s in it for you?**
- Rounds of applause, smiles, hugs and handshakes from your happy guests
- Paid training covering storytelling, guest communication and food and drink so you can host confidently regardless of prior experience
- Regular tasting and training sessions with the team to enhance your knowledge and pick up new stories
- Flexible schedule. You must be consistently available at least one day per week
- A liveable wage of £30-42 per tour (2-3 hours) plus tips

**What you will have**
- Consistent availability of at least one day per week
- Experience hosting or presenting to groups
- Friendly with an ability to put people at ease through active listening and open questions
- Ability to handle the unexpected and adjust your approach to deliver happiness
- Desire to continually learn and improve

- Local knowledge - not necessarily food and drink related
- Ability to stand for c 1-2 hours and walk distances of 1-3 miles
- Willingness to familiarise yourself with our booking app to manage guest communications

**Nice to have**:

- Prior experience in food, drink, tourism, or hospitality industry
- Knowledge of your local food and drink scene
- Experience travelling, studying or working in other countries
- Any additional languages (e.g., French, Spanish, German etc.)

**Application Process**
