Be Free Tours s.r.o. is seeking to expand our team of enthusiastic Tour Guides, Activity Instructors, Party Guides and Event Assistants for the Spring & Summer season and beyond. We prefer applicants who are interested in long-term cooperation.

We run tours mostly for the hostel & backpacker market although the target audience includes a wide variety of international clients.

Apart from the regular tours we also offer specific themed tours for private groups such as Alternative tours, Communism Tours, Castle tours etc.

The job is fun! While informing our guests of the cultural/historical facts of Bratislava is obviously crucial to our tours, we also strive to keep our tours light-hearted & entertaining. We like to keep our guests involved in the tour by making them interactive.

Our tours are made up of lots of little groups from around the globe.

It’s more than just a tour, it’s a cultural exchange so you can network and meet friends from all over the world.

The job is flexible. We understand that many of our guides have other commitments such as university, second jobs, etc. and so we strive to be as flexible with shifts as possible. We require applicants to be available for 15hrs per week.
