Join the Taste SB Team
Tour Guide Jobs:
Our team is like a family. All of our team members are passionate, energetic, reliable, flexible, and fun. A flexible schedule is a must. This is a great job for retired folks—much like a paid docent position—lots of fun! The position is part-time, and some weeks are busier than others.
