The Tour Guiding Academy

The Tour Guiding Academy is an online learning platform that empowers you to become a day tour guide by learning to design, develop and deliver a tour based on your own narrative, experience, and background.

Did you ever dream of running your own tours? Are you seeking ways to diversify your income?  Would you like to launch your own business but do not know how?

The Tour Guiding Academy could be the answer!

Not only do we provide opportunities for income diversification to women who are already economically active, but because we are a social enterprise we reinvest all our profit into our mission, which means for every paid-for subscription we donate one to a disadvantaged woman who cannot afford to pay but whose life could be transformed by the Tour Guiding Academy!

In summary, by signing up you rise AND lift others on the journey!

The Tour Guiding Academy was created by Women in Travel cic to provide all women with an opportunity to develop skills, earn an income and share their stories to be enjoyed by domestic and international travellers alike. It is also a practical and innovative way to support female micro-entrepreneurship, by developing day tours and experiences that both empower women and celebrate multiculturalism within cities and regions.

Anyone interested in leading a day tour can train on this platform.

You do NOT need to be a travel expert nor an art historian…all you need is the desire to tell an authentic story; to delight customers with a unique experience and to enjoy being in charge!

If you are already in travel, this can be the perfect opportunity to add additional income; elevate your current skills and diversify your offer to clients!

If you are not in travel, this is an affordable and simple way to create a side-hustle or forge a new pathway for yourself!
