Tour guide in Friday Harbor Washington Rebecca J.

I’m a passionate local historian with over 20 years of tour guiding experience in the San Juan Islands and the Pacific Northwest. Having called the San Juan Islands home for over two decades, I’ve developed an intimate knowledge of their history, culture, and hidden gems. This allows me to create highly personalized and engaging tours, designed to match your interests, pace, and preferences. From hiking scenic trails and visiting local artisans, to uncovering the area’s rich history at museums and historic sites, each tour is tailored to provide a unique and memorable experience. Whether you're interested in art, history, or simply taking in the natural beauty, I ensure every moment is enjoyable and informative. I love creating fun, relaxed, and informative experiences through strong storytelling, creative presentations, and a friendly, humorous, and approachable style. Lifelong learning is at the heart of what I do, and I’m excited to share the wonders of the San Juan Islands and the Pacific Northwest with you in a way that is curated just for you. Outside of guiding, I’m a professional genealogist with over 30 years of experience, an avid home cook, a volunteer for our local lost pet search and rescue team, and a proud parent of a rescue golden retriever. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and connecting visitors with this beautiful region I call home. With my background as a museum guide, lecturer, and local historian, I aim to leave you not only with lasting memories but also with a personal connection to these stunning islands and the Pacific Northwest. I can’t wait to share this special part of the world with you! --- *University of California at Berkeley, graduated with honors * Group Leader and tour guide for a renowned, internationally recognized company specializing in educational travel experiences *Over 20 years of tour guiding experience in the San Juan Islands and Pacific Northwest *Local historian, museum historical interpreter, museum educator, and museum head docent for over 20 years *Expert professional genealogist with over 30 years of experience, including DNA *There are no restrictions on my guiding
