Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Tour Guide Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent years guiding visitors across sacred sites and coastal tracks, and I’ve learned that people go away with more than a map if they feel seen and safe. In the last year I’ve led 1200+ guests on journeys that balanced storytelling with practical safety checks, keeping groups of mixed ages on track and on time. I’m applying for [Company Name] because I value places where culture is shared respectfully and accurately, and I bring day-to-day reliability to the team. I’m comfortable delivering commentary in English and [any other language you offer], coordinating logistics, and keeping everyone informed from briefing to wrap. I work closely with fellow guides and transport crews to line up itineraries, meals, and accommodation, while always prioritising safety and accessibility. I also keep notes on local knowledge, so our tours stay current and meaningful for visitors from all backgrounds. One example from my time at [Previous Company] stands out: after a last-minute schedule shift, I re-routed a group to an additional cultural site and adjusted the safety briefing on the fly, ensuring none of the participants felt rushed. The feedback highlighted clear communication, calm leadership, and a stronger connection to the story we shared. It’s the kind of practical, people-first work I aim to bring to every tour. I’m ready to discuss how I can contribute to your team and help grow authentic, respectful experiences. I’m available for a chat at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
