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.

🥂 About You

Love Santa Barbara? Love food and chatting with people? You might be our next tour guide!

We’re looking for locals who:

  • Live in or near Santa Barbara and aren’t planning to leave anytime soon

  • Are friendly, fun, and love sharing their city

  • Have a flexible schedule (some weekdays + weekends, 11:30–3:30ish)

  • Are reliable, punctual, and great communicators

  • Can use a smartphone to text, call, email, and snap pics

  • Follow directions like a pro and enjoy being part of a team

  • Prefer part-time, occasional work (perfect if you’re semi-retired, self-employed, or just want some fun $$)

Not a summer job – Training takes time, and we’re looking for long-term teammates!
