Tour Guide & Docent Job Fair

Join the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides (APT) for the 2026 Philadelphia Tour Guide & Docent Job Fair

Whether you are a veteran or just beginning your journey, the APT Tour Guide & Docent Job Fair is the year’s must-attend event for Philly’s tourism community. Explore diverse roles including seasonal, year-round, paid, and volunteer positions. THANK YOU to the Free Library of Philadelphia for generously donating the space at Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine Street!

Brand new to guiding and love Philly? We need you in 2026! We don’t just need workers - we need ambassadors. If you know your way around a cheesesteak and can explain the significance of 1776 (or 1976!), we want to meet you. Most companies and cultural sites provide training for their guides and volunteers.
