  Hi I’m sure you have probably already done your interview but I’ve done a few contikis and the qualities I have found are:

  • don’t show favouritism – make an effort to learn everyone’s name and take the time to talk to them – not just the loud or pretty ones.
  • don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep – eg. our tour manager got us to write a lymric and he put it together for us on the last night he said he was going to put it up on our facebook page but 2 & 1/2 years later never did
  • taking time to really explain whats going on – just because everyone nods doesn’t mean they fully understand.
  • dressing up
  • mascots on the front of the bus
  • discuss safety eg. italy/spain
    overall I’ve had good tour managers but it’s always after the tour when i’ve had time to actually sit down and process my holiday that I can see it a bit more clearly
  • don’t hook up with clients in front of others – don’t say your single when your not
