After interviews:

Often, it’s in your best interest to experience the “product” and hop on a bike tour. If we feel seeing you on a tour would be helpful to both the company and you, the individual, you could be extended the opportunity to come on one of our bike tours (at no cost to you). This allows you to visit with a potential co-worker (tour guide), interact with customers, see the product, and confirm it is still a job you’re interested interested in.

Training to be a Tour Guide is something we take seriously. Activities will include:

· Practice giving tours and review tour information.
· Practice office and tour procedures.
· Learn bicycle maintenance.
· Go on training tours with different guides.

A Big Thanks

Even though I only spent a half day in the city, I can say that the 4 hours on the tour make me feel like an experienced London traveler! I can’t wait to go back to London and touch more on some of the things that we were guided through on the bike tour. A big thanks to Fat Tire Bike Tours!
