About

After working as a musician, DJ, and game host for many years (nightclubs, weddings, and even a stint on a cruise ship), I became a Los Angeles tour guide…that’s when I realized that spending quality time with people is what makes all the difference! So I expanded into wider travel and embraced the full Tour Director role. I love sharing beauty, history, food, and culture with guests from every corner of the globe. I can’t wait to show them parts of the world they’ve never seen before. 

I’ve led tours in numerous cities on the eastern seaboard, across our country’s music cities, and in Los Angeles. I’ll welcome any chance to lead tours on trains or riverboats.

With so many exciting experiences awaiting your guests in the coming year, I’m eager to be one of their fearless leaders…to engage them, to wow them, and to connect with them in unique and special ways. Creating extraordinary moments for people is the best part of this job. Let’s g0!

Testimonials

"We were so blessed to have Paula as our tour guide. We really appreciated her attention to detail, her knowledge, her patience, and her sense of humor that accompanied every one of her stories." 

"Paula's music choices and when she played them was outstanding!"

"Besides her great organizational skills, Paula was a tiny bundle of energy, enthusiasm, knowledge, warmth, and FUN. She made everyone on the tour feel special. She was always approachable and helpful and seemed to be enjoying the tour as much as the rest of us. On a scale of 1 to 10, she's a 300."
