Scott's Pizza Tours is looking for a passionate, personable, and inquisitive guide to lead tours of New York's pizza landscape. You will lead groups of locals, tourists, and pizza professionals on tours that explore the history, science, culture, and taste of NYC’s most significant pizzerias.
You’ll be scheduled for 1-2 public tours per week, each of which is 2.5 hours long. There will be opportunities to pick up additional public tours plus private tours. Schedule flexibility is important, so please don’t apply if you have a 9 to 5 job.
We require a NYC Sightseeing Guides License (available through the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection) so please only apply if you already have one or plan to acquire one. Payment is $140 per public walking tour, higher for private tours by bus and on foot. Guides often receive additional gratuities.
We invite our guides to optional outings to check out new pizzerias and learn more about our subject via educational outings. Our last two sessions were a canned tomato tasting and an olive oil tasting.
