A lot of tourist guides are self-employed and charge fees. Rates of pay vary depending on your location, and the type of guiding you are doing.
Tourist guides working in London and the South East could earn between £10 and £15 per hour. In other parts of the UK, you would earn between £6 and £7 per hour.
As a tourist guide working for an employer such as a coach trip tour operator, you may be able to earn between £18,000 and £20,000.
As a regional tour supervisor or manager, you could earn up to £30,000.
If you're a freelance English speaking Blue Badge tourist guide, you could charge around £140 for a half day. Driver guides and those with a second language have the potential to earn more.
