About the role

A tour operations assistant helps all the moving parts of a trip happen in the right order. The interview checks your planning, supplier follow-up, guest communication and judgement when the schedule cannot run as expected.

How to prepare

  1. Practise building a simple running order with pick-ups, activities, breaks and contingency time.
  2. Review how you would confirm arrangements with transport, guides and venues.
  3. Prepare an example of reorganising a plan after a delay or missed step.
  4. Think through how you would keep a group informed without sharing unconfirmed details.

Common mistakes

  • Waiting until departure time to confirm essential suppliers.
  • Changing the schedule without considering safety, access or guest expectations.
  • Giving guests uncertain information as if it were confirmed.
