.What does an ExperienceFirst Guide do?At ExperienceFirst, we place storytelling at the heart of what we do, sharing our experiences with a global network of family and friends. Our Guides and Tour Leaders share not only the history and 'facts' of a place, but their own connection to it, favourite hidden gems, the 'inside scoop' and the realities of life wherever they happen to be. It's about stories told from the perspective of people who live them day-to-day.What do we look for?We look for guides who are passionate storytellers and willing to share their own unique perspective.
