As the first point of contact for guests and owners, the Tour Guide establishes a welcoming and memorable arrival experience that aligns seamlessly with the company’s dedication to high-quality service and hospitality excellence. This full-time position, based at the Mission Valley location in San Diego, is primarily non-sales in nature and ensures guests receive a smooth and professional welcome.
