Description of the company
Created at the end of 2018, Brussels by Foot is a small company offering alternative guided tours.

So far Brussels By Foot offers 2 different tours (soon 3), each one is given every weekend in French, English, Dutch and, for private groups only, Spanish. We can also create tailor-made tours for groups who ask us for it. The objective of this new position is to reinforce our team of Dutch speaking guides (composed of only one guide so far :-P). Candidates must be self-employed or be affiliated to the SMart in order to be able to invoice.

– Sometimes a little prospecting or preparation (Flyering, reservation of places for gastronomic visits,…)
– Responding to punctual requests from clients and organizing private experiences.
– Sometimes a bit of communication: encoding of advertisements on leisure sites, creation of advertising campaigns,…
NB: This is not a job with a fixed timetable or salary.
Qualifications required
– Perfect Dutch or Spanish speaker (another language is an asset);
– Comfortable speaking in public, with a voice that carries;
– Have easy contact with all types of public;
