What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tour Guide – Immersive XR History Tours & History Pub Crawls (Nashville Adventures) position at Nashville Adventures?
We're hiring one guide to lead two of our specialty experiences: an Immersive History Tour using VR headsets, and a history-focused Pub Crawl. If you're picturing a normal historical walking tour or a ghost tour, this isn't that: this role is tech-driven and nightlife/social in nature.
We're looking for someone naturally sociable and charming: the kind of person who makes strangers feel like friends within five minutes. If you love chatting people up, keeping a group laughing, and making every guest feel like they're part of the fun, this role is for you.
