How do you become a travel guide?

Question by L3monDr0p: How do you become a travel guide?
Next year I’m moving to Spain and i want to become a travel guide. I know Spanish and English and I want to take English speakers around Spain and show them places. I could also translate for them and help them get around. I’m a new travel agent but thats what I exclusively want to do. Do I have work for a travel agency to do this or what? I’m lost, please help.

first of all try to find tour operators from your origin country(is it UK?) go and ask them to cooperate with you. You have to know very good about history/monuments/roads etc.This is about tour leaders.
If you are a licenced guide you can cooperate with many countries all over the world.Sent your resimate to tour operators that work with outgoing tourism and when they have a guided tour (it is usually 03-04 hours ) they will call you back. a guided city tour 03hours with licenced guide costs about 200euro per 50pax.
Hope I helped..
