    What’s it like working at Busabout?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees at Busabout appreciate the amazing people and supportive team culture, where colleagues respect and collaborate well with each other. A key benefit is the ability to travel on the company's products, as well as for conferences, events, and familiarisation trips. Tour guides enjoy the autonomy in their roles and the opportunity to meet locals in different places. Employees also value the fantastic benefits offered, including free food, drink, and accommodation while on tour.

    However, some employees find it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance, particularly those who identify as workaholics. Tour guides may experience loneliness at times due to the nature of their work. While the pay is considered good, some employees note that covering their own flight expenses can be a financial burden. There are instances where employees have faced inconsistencies in management's treatment of crew members. Additionally, employees may face challenges in staying on schedule and keeping all passengers happy during tours.

    Great company with great people
    The good thingsAmazing people. From the very top all tbe way down, the team is loves and respects each other. I couldnt have worked with a better bunch of people. They take the time when hiring to ensure they will get the right fit, and this shows with team collaborations etc. The benefits are fantastic. Travelling on the product and travelling for conferences, famils and team events.
    The challengesWork life balance can be hard. But this was my challange as I am a workaholic. Most people had a better balance than me.

    You can build a future if you want to live and work in London, otherwise just fun way to explore SE Asia and Europe.
    The good thingsThe places you visit and locals you meet. The other guides you train and work with. Depending on the tour you work you're mostly autonomous. Free food, drink and accommodation, so really no bills.
    The challengesDrunk Aussies. Loneliness. Bad pay for Australians (but u can save). Pay for your own flights. A lot of people had issues with management, just keep your head down and enjoy the experience beong overseas.
