Want to Work for UnTour Shanghai? – Get Paid to Eat
Want to get paid to eat? UnTour Shanghai is looking for outgoing, passionate tour guides available on a part time/freelance basis for a growing culinary tourism company.
Who we are: A top-rated walking culinary tour company based in Shanghai. We cater to tourists and expats who want to know more about the food scene in Shanghai. Over the last four and a half years, we’ve taken thousands of guests on eating adventures in the city, with extremely positive feedback and many guests reporting back that it was the highlight of their time in China.
What we do: Guided, informal, three hour walking tours showcasing the city’s tastiest, most authentic eats and more. We will never carry a flag, and only do small, intimate groups. Each tour has 4-6 tasting stops in local neighborhood food stalls that are popular with locals but intimidating for outsiders. Guides don’t have scripts to memorize; rather they should feel comfortable sharing their knowledge of the city, Chinese culture, food & life in engaging, natural conversation.
Who you are: A fluent English speaker with a flexible schedule (weekday mornings and afternoons is most desired) and an easy-going friendly personality. Must speak proficient Chinese, have an advanced food knowledge (a willingness to eat everything and enthusiasm about food is a must), and have lived in China for 18+ months (at least 12 of which were in Shanghai). We need guides with availability from anywhere between 3 and 15 hours per week, to start. Additional European languages a plus, but only Chinese and native (or near native) English are firm requirements.
Assistant Tour Guides: We are also considering candidates whose Chinese is considered conversational and who have lived in Shanghai for less than 12 months for our assistant tour guide positions. Assistant tour guides are needed for evening tours only.
Remuneration is competitive, and good guides often receive tips and bonuses in addition to their wages.
Please email info at untourshanghai dot com your CV and your personal top 3 Chinese dishes and Shanghai restaurants.
