The Wage Project

for tour guides and trip leaders

Submit Your Tour Earnings

For the first time in our industry, we are collecting information on wages earned by tour guides, trip leaders, tour managers, and docents around the world.

Why are we doing this?

  • We want to help the guiding community understand what earning potential and average wages look like for all the varieties of guiding around the world.
  • Help tour operators understand what average wages are in their regional markets, to set fair prices.
  • 100% anonymous.

The live map is currently in progress.  Contributors will be alerted when the map goes live.

Submit your tour earnings here.

Your submission is 100% anonymous. If you are a tour guide, please submit a report for each different kind of tour that you do (private tour, student step-on, etc.). If you are a tour manager, you can submit per tour, or as an average for each kind of tour you lead (New England Fall Foliage, London—Paris—Rome, etc.).
