If you read the review, overworked and unorganized, and basically being on call 24/7, that is only the beginning. Guides are practically expected to live at this job, often working long, dangerous hours (13-15 hours on consecutive days is not unheard of) and juggling multiple tour groups at once to the point of literal exhaustion. There is no set shift schedule; you might get called in at the last second or work a full day when you were only supposed to do a half day because of a last-minute booking. Once I tried to take a well-earned personal day off (after working the entire week prior), and not only did management QUESTION ME about why I was taking it, they ended up canceling at the last minute without warning or apology!

Management presented as outgoing and supportive but would quickly turn critical and snarky if you didn’t tell them what they want to hear. They will find any excuse to discredit negative feedback. Any chance they can take to cut a corner and make a few bucks at the dismay of their employees or guests, they will do so. The juggling is ridiculously out of control and despite repeated complaints from guides and guests, it continues anyway because it lets the company double-book expensive tours while only paying for one guide. See Sight runs many branches across the continent and is clearly financially successful (based on the company and personal vehicles that are driven) yet still operates like a cheap startup with meager resources and a scarcity mindset. The job by itself can be fun and rewarding, but the way management runs its operations and treats its employees is horrible and not worth the strain on your mental and physical health. You exist purely for the bosses to squeeze money out of until you’re a burnt-out husk of a human being. Go elsewhere! 

I had a great experience working with SeeSight this summer. It was a fun, usually low-stress atmosphere with so many plusses. Coworkers were amazing who would do anything to help you out, management was very supportive and would help you with any unforeseen challenges or dumb mistakes that arose. You get really good tips for the most part and get to work in a beautiful outdoor setting. I learned a lot about organization/time management skills as well as about myself personally. I gained a lot of self-confidence this summer, which money can't buy. This job has its moments, like trying to juggle multiple tours on a holiday weekend with lots of traffic and construction but compared to what I've had to do in other "gigs", it's very easy and rewarding. Almost everyone you meet is friendly and helpful. Even guides from competing companies will take time for a friendly chat or an encouraging word.

My only real complaint was scheduling. The schedule wasn't posted until the day before in most cases so it was difficult to plan ahead for non-work activities. Even then it would be subject to change. I understand that this is often based on the whims of customers, but I would love if management was able to come up with a system for a more routine work schedule.

Other than that, I have zero complaints. I can't wait to return for another year and an even more amazing summer.

What makes See Sight Tours special is its strong sense of community and passion for creating unforgettable travel moments. From day one, I felt welcomed into a supportive team that values collaboration, creativity, and storytelling. Every project — from crafting engaging social media campaigns to writing press releases and coordinating influencer partnerships — has given me the chance to grow while contributing to the company’s mission of offering personalized, small-group tours that go beyond the ordinary.

Leadership encourages new ideas and provides the trust and flexibility to experiment with creative approaches, which makes every day dynamic and exciting. The culture is both professional and fun, balancing high standards with a genuine care for employees and guests alike.

It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my work helps share the stories, guides, and destinations that make See Sight Tours so memorable for guests.

My experience at Seesight was disappointing due to the management's lack of honesty. During the winter, when staffing was low, I provided my full availability to support the operation. However, as soon as external factors like the weather arose—factors completely out of my control—they cut my hours drastically without warning. I was repeatedly promised additional training and more hours, but these were just stalling tactics and never materialized. This is a workplace that does not value employee loyalty or effort during difficult times.

I loved my time here, and was thankfully part-time, so I did not have to witness some of the very strtessful moments thta ensued on Holiday weekends.

The people are great. If you have a knack for conversation, you'll love this kind of job. Chatting with your guests, learning about them and how their lives are outside of vacations is a great way to boos those people skills.

Also, people were very generous tip wise. If you put your all into this role, you can make great tips and  have cash on hand for any occasion. 

Also, I will say the only negative for me was tours coming in at the last minute, and causing you to lose out on plans because you have to pick up a tour.

Overall, would recommend if you can handle hectic situations and don't mind sometimes short notice shifts.

I have been with See Sight Tours since spring 2016. I started off as a tour guide working for two full seasons (April-November). I immediately fell in love with the job, the money (tips in American currency), the workplace culture, and I could see the opportunities for growth in the company.

Fast forward to today, I am now the operations manager for both Toronto and Niagara Falls Canada, the top two busiest cities within the company.

A few of my responsibilities are:
-Hiring
-Training
-Managing day to day operations of each city
-Conducting tours

I would definitely recommend working here at See Sight Tours!

If you enjoy working with people, love your city, and want a job that keeps you on your feet and engaged, this is a great company to be with. It’s a solid opportunity for anyone looking for flexible hours or even just a summer job! The pay is solid and the tips from guests are a nice bonus. The team is supportive and fun to work with, and the company gives you the freedom to bring your own personality into tour The best part is meeting new people every day and seeing them enjoy the experience which makes the job rewarding

See Sight Tours values time-off flexibility, a collaborative and supportive workplace, and the excitement of a fast-paced environment where every day brings new opportunities to learn and grow. Management has been consistently supportive of my professional development, and I’ve always felt comfortable reaching out to colleagues for guidance and teamwork whenever needed.I look forward to growing with the team and I am excited to grow with such an awesome company. 

Had the best time working here for two summers working as a tour guide. The base wage was minimum but you get amazing tips that add a lot on to the wage. They will work with your availability and if you want to keep working in the fall, part time work will be available. Great people to work with. They have a program with lots of other attractions so you can get in for free or discounted with family or friends. 
Highly recommended if your willing to deal with the busy tourist area during the summer.
