Cherie Anderson

Hi, I’m Cherie Anderson – and I’ve been helping people become amazing tour guides for over 20 years.

I’ve spent the last two decades training tour directors and guides to not only do the job well — but to love it. From leading groups through historic cities to helping guides find their unique voice and confidence, this work is my passion.

I created Tour Guide Training because I know what it’s like to be just starting out, wondering how to break into the industry, or trying to level up your skills and stand out in a competitive field. I’ve helped hundreds of students go from unsure and overwhelmed to polished, professional, and ready to lead tours anywhere in the world.

My style is practical, real-world, and straight to the point — no fluff, just the skills and mindset you actually need out there. Whether you want to lead local food tours, cross-country adventures, or international groups, I’ve got your back.

Let’s get you trained, confident, and out there doing what you love.
