Tour Du Jour

03/18/2023

Jim Humay, president of Tour du Jour, explains how their private tours differ from other tours. "We know the history, the gossip, the stories, and the places to go. "Ride in a Lincoln Navigator and enjoy a few hours with one of our fantastic, witty, knowledgeable, and truly unforgettable guides, learning where to go, what to do, where 'they go,' and what it feels like to live in LA."

TRAINING

There is an extensive training program.

First, you'll observe one of our tour guides in action,. You may be overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge our guides have. Keep in mind our guides have over 10 - 15 years of experience with us.

After your first tour, you'll know if you want to move forward.

Likely a two week training period depending on the candidate. When you are comfortable leading a tour is when you'll start.

I remember when I observed my first tour I was overwhelmed for sure, but intrigued at the same time. 15 years later, I still love doing the tours. I've met fascinating people from around the globe and no matter how may times I've seen the Hollywood Sign, I still love seeing the excitement of our guests when they are up-close to the most famous sign in the world.

No worries, we have a comprehensive training process and would never let anyone give a tour until we and you are comfortable with your paid training.

We offer generous hourly rates for part-time employees and our guests tend to be extremely generous with gratuities. Our check average is $600 and our guides average 15-20% gratuities.

We ONLY do private tours and our clientele is sophisticated, worldly and well-traveled. Most stay at 4-5 star hotels and expect the same 5 star service from us and we exceed their expectations.

Read our Google reviews.

Qualified candidates: A great enthusiasm for our city. An engaging and convivial personality. A desire to create a memory for your guests that will last a lifetime. A desire to learn the history of our great city and Hollywood in general. Yes, the influencers, the tic-toc, the gossip, the housewives. All of it. :)

If you don't feel comfortable starting conversations, engaging with guests from around the world, or sometimes doing a tour for 1 person, this job is not for you.

My dream applicant is fluent in English and/or Spanish, Portugues, French and Russian. Business casual dress code.

I started giving tours about 15 years ago and I still love giving tours. The excitement in people's eyes when they see the Hollywood sign for the first time is magical and exciting. Angeleno's see it all the time, no big deal. But for the world, it is the most famous sign! Our main guides have all been touring for over 10-15 years and they still love it...after doing thousands of tours. It's a great gig!
