点评:I WAS a tour guide for City Unscripted in Munich and tell you my first hand experience:
The problem is, that they DO NOT talk to you before or want any proofs that you know what you are doing. My new company needed 2 Zoom calls before they hired me and they pay me 3 times more!
The motto here is "Seeing the city like seeing it with a friend". Still the costumer pay for a "guide", not a "friend".
Here is another problem: After gaining experience here, I changed the company.
CU pays an hourly wage that is really, really, really low and it does NOT change with a higher number of guests!
So I earn the same, not matter if it's 2 guests or 10, but THEY do earn SO MUCH MORE with a higher number of guests.
I felt treated unfairly and was dependent on tip. Some guests gave 5€, one even 100€, most 10-20€.
I felt bad because I know they had paid so much for the tour already.
Sometimes they pay a "transportation fee", which would be good because it's tax free, but mostly not. Even if they do, it is 1,40 less then the transportation into the city and back would be.
The most critical point is, that they really hire anyone. So the quality of the tour is very uncertain.
The good guides (I consider myself to be one) will change the company. For me it's a difference, if I gain 57€ fix for 3 hours or 145-250€ depending on the number of guests.
I don't say that the tours are bad or that you shouldn't pay! but keep in mind: The company doesn't know their guides at all! Their motto is, that the guide only has to be "a friend", not a real guide.
If you book, please give tip! Otherwise it's really bad for the guide.
翻译:我曾是慕尼黑 City Unscripted 的导游,并告诉您我的第一手经验:
问题是,他们之前不与您交谈或想要任何证明您知道自己在做什么的证据。我的新公司在雇用我之前需要打 2 次 Zoom 电话,而且他们付给我的薪水是我的 3 倍!
这里的座右铭是“像和朋友一起看这座城市”。客户仍然为“指南”而不是“朋友”付费。
这里还有一个问题:在这里积累经验后,我换了公司。
CU 支付的小时工资真的非常非常低,而且不会随着客人数量的增加而改变!
所以我的收入是一样的,无论是 2 位客人还是 10 位客人,但他们确实赚得更多,客人人数更多。
我觉得受到了不公平的对待,并且依赖小费。有些客人给了 5 欧元,一位甚至 100 欧元,大多数 10-20 欧元。
我感觉很糟糕,因为我知道他们已经为这次旅行付出了很多。
有时他们支付“交通费”,这很好,因为它是免税的,但大多数情况下不是。即使他们这样做,也比进城和返回的交通费用少 1.40。
最关键的一点是,他们真的雇用任何人。所以旅游的质量非常不确定。
好的向导(我认为我自己就是其中之一)将改变公司。对我来说这是不同的,如果我获得 57 欧元固定 3 小时或 145-250 欧元,具体取决于客人的数量。
我并不是说旅行团不好或者你不应该付钱!但请记住:公司根本不认识他们的向导!他们的座右铭是,导游只需要是“朋友”,而不是真正的导游。
如果您预订,请给小费!否则对导游来说真的很糟糕。
