About Craig Wrightson

A highly motivated professional Driver and Tour Guide who is a natural communicator and able to provide entertaining and informative excursions to customers. I have a flair for talking to groups of people along with a good memory for facts and figures. I’m a fantastic storyteller with a great sense of humour and an expert at thinking quickly on my feet. I currently contract my services out to various tour companies providing tourists with unique and unforgettable experiences that encourage them to fully participate with what’s going on around them. Throughout my over eight-year career in the tourism industry, I’ve learnt how to lead visitors through sites of historical and cultural interest. As a professional, I always display true passion for what I do and am now looking for a suitable role with a company that wants to employ hardworking individuals who get results.
