Brightspark tour leader team

Our Tour Leaders

On the road, our knowledgeable and flexible Tour Leaders manage all onsite logistics and make sure our teachers and students have an incredible travel experience! Think of us as your Sherpa - an experienced guide through the journey of student travel.

Our Tour Leaders are a select group of university and college students drawn from a pool of hundreds of applicants. Many have plans to one day become teachers. Among our Tour Leaders there are also aspiring musicians, social workers, doctors, film makers, actors, and comedians. They are all chosen based on their leadership skills, experience working with youth, and a bright personality of course!

We prepare these bright, dynamic, outgoing and creative people to lead tours through our intensive training program. Our Tour Leaders learn how to safely and effectively lead a group of students, initiate interesting discussions appropriate to the age group, give information on the various sites of interest in an engaging way, and manage the many details of a group tour.
