It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

About

I was inspired to become a tour director in 2011 when I went on my son’s Washington D.C. trip as a chaperone.  Ah -hah moments in  D.C. in 2012 and 2013 cemented my decision and I graduated ITMI in 2015. I have had the pleasure of leading student tours in D.C. ever since and also enjoy leading students on college campus tours. I have worked paint and sip and catering events with adult guests as well. The Covid -19 pandemic allowed me the time to start my own tour business in my hometown of Riverside, Ca. lead walking food tours in downtown Riverside, Ca for 3 years as well as continuing to lead student tours.  After the pandemic,  i had the opportunity to serve as a Well Being Directoron adult tours, combining my past experienceas a Clinical Lab Scientist and a Tour Director. Who knew that would ever happen! I am proud to have raised two Eagle Scout sons who are wonderful young men and to be married for over 34 years to my first boyfriend! My life is awesome!

Testimonials

Riverside Tour:

Fun way to learn about the town.
We did a tour with Jennifer and it exceeded our expectations. We had some good food and learned a lot about local history that we did not know and would not have learned otherwise. We especially enjoyed the history and explanation of the sculptures on the mall and the artwork in Magnolia Alley.

A Fun Experience
I learned so much about Riverside that I did not know and the tour took us off the beaten path a bit to interesting places. The food and drink stops were amazing. Whether you live locally or are from out of town it was a fun experience!
