I love to share my knowledge of the destinations I guide with guests through engaging tours. I have a background in music and theater, which enhances my storytelling ability and allows me to bring travel to life for my guests. Whether it’s sharing stories of local people, fascinating facts about the area’s history, or showcasing local customs and culture, I strive to create an immersive experience that will leave my guests with lasting memories. I enjoy leading tours in Washington, DC and am passionate about guiding visitors in other cities such as NYC, Boston, and New England. I take the time to learn about the unique culture in each place I visit to share that information with my guests. In addition, I love to tell the stories of local people from all walks of life, which help provide an engaging and enjoyable experience beyond simply visiting tourist sites.

Testimonials
Sean was an amazing host for our 2019 tour of New England. He provided such a unique experience, with in-depth details of historic locations not found with other hosts. We are so grateful for his guidance and look forward to touring with him again. Thank you, Sean!
Sean was so well informed about all the sights in Washington DC. He managed our group of middle schoolers with ease and was always flexible with our tour and open to all suggestions for making it better. He made our 4 days in DC memorable and fun! Would definitely recommend!
Spent three days in DC with Sean. I can assure you that he is very knowledgeable, friendly, has a great attitude, knows DC like the back of his hand, and he's an outstanding cat herder! Highly recommended.
Best tour guide our group has had in 30 tours. Professional, hilarious and great with our people and the driver!
Sean is an excellent tour guide. He was with our group from Arkansas for three days and was thoroughly appreciated. He has done his homework and provides interesting information about everything. I really appreciated the letter he shared with us from the sculptor of the Korean Memorial. Sean wanted to better understand what the sculptor was presenting and wrote him. The letter was touching and added additional appreciation to the visit. I was traveling with my 83 year old mother and Sean always made sure she was having a great experience! Thank you, Sean!
