Tour Guide

Hello Quebec City Tour Guides We are very pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2026-2027 season. Toonie is already preparing its operations to close out the 2026 fiscal year and, above all, to be fully ready for the upcoming 2027 peak tourism season. Our goal is to meet the expectations of our diverse clientele from various countries as effectively as possible. For this reason, we are once again launching an extended recruitment process for certified tour guides for permanent, temporary, and on‑call positions — even if you currently work with other companies. We are also open to establishing contracts with independent guides. All of this is driven by the momentum of a dynamic management team. Our operational model generally includes three work shifts of approximately three hours each, scheduled in the morning, afternoon, and evening. We look forward to meeting you. As we gear up for the season, we invite you to apply, whether you are just launching your career, or are a seasoned veteran in the field. We offer a competitive wage along with a flexible tipping policy: you retain 100% of your tips on private tours or participate in a tip-pooling arrangement for our large-group walking tours. Company Overview Toonie Tours is rapidly growing, Canadian-owned tour operator with a national presence, currently operating in 11 cities across the country. As a customer-centric company, we connect visitors to the heart of Canada through immersive and authentic experiences. Since our founding in 2018, we have maintained a 5-star rating by delivering engaging, accessible, and world-class tours.
