What is a Tour Director?

IATDG TourPrep Training

As a type of project manager/customer service representative, the tour director is responsible for leading a group of travelers on a multi-day sightseeing tour. The group travels together, eats together, and experiences the activities of the tour together. The tour director wears many hats. They are in charge of logistics, researching and delivering commentary, keeping track of guest food allergies and requests, partnering with the motorcoach driver, and more. It’s definitely a challenging job, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
