Nucky's Bosses and Bootleggers Atlantic City Walking Tour

This unique experience is an in-costume and in-character tour given by "Nucky Johnson", Boss of the Boardwalk and Gangster-Businessman, who regales you with stories of Atlantic City in the Prohibition era.

Listen while Nucky explains how he gained a sense of community from his dad the Sheriff and his mentor the Commodore, some of the innovative ways that he kept Atlantic City supplied with liquor in the 1920s, and about his business connections to people like Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, and Joseph P. Kennedy.

I have portrayed Nucky Johnson for a decade, starting with a stint on a Trolley in the summer of 2011. I have taken the Nucky character to local libraries and mainland golf resorts, as well as the New Jersey Council for the Humanities Public Scholars Project. There is no one who better represents Atlantic City than Nucky, and no one does Nucky better than me.

Boardwalk, Beaches, and Buildings Tour of Atlantic City

Atlantic City was founded as a tourist resort in the 1850s and is home to the oldest Boardwalk in the world, which opened over 150 years ago in 1870. Home to countless family entertainment venues and souvenir shops, not to mention the majority of Atlantic city's casinos, the Boardwalk is still the heart of the city today.

This city highlights tour offers the best introduction to history of Atlantic City from the mid-19th century to the Age of Trump, as you stroll along the Boardwalk from Albany Avenue to Steel Pier while taking time to examine historic buildings such as the Ritz-Carlton and to walk on the beach while learning about the environmental impact of sea level rise on the community. This walking tour takes you places cars cannot go!

I love offering this tour because of my direct connection to the area, having grown up locally and seen so much history myself. My favorite thing about this tour, however, is how much fun and important history guests leave having learned.

A Taste of History: Ocean City Express Walking Tour

Learn about the Founding of OC and Ongoing Efforts to Preserve Its Oldest Neighborhood on the first half of the tour, then head to the Boardwalk, passing by beach block mansions along the way.

Starting on the Boardwalk from 6th Street, head down to 12th Street, stopping to taste several iconic Boardwalk foods. This introduction to Ocean City will cover the history of the island and much of the best-preserved architecture that still exists, as well as the community's religious heritage and environmental impacts such as beach replenishment.

I grew up on the beaches, boardwalk, and avenues of Ocean City, even living there for a time. I understand the complex relationship between the living city today and its history, as well between the people who founded the town and the folks who visit it every year. This tour is a must for anyone who has ever visited Ocean City and wondered how it came to be.

The Cultures and Communities of Atlantic City Express Tour

Explore several off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods of Atlantic City, each with their own fascinating history.

This tour starts in the African-American Northside section, it explores the LGBTQ Heritage Area around New York Avenue that is now home to the Orange Loop, and then concludes in the traditionally Italian Ducktown district. See beautiful historic churches in all three neighborhoods, as well as the ever-changing architecture in this dynamic city, and learn about the ways that different communities have occupied adjacent and often overlapping spaces in Atlantic City for over a century.

This tour is important to me because of my personal connections to the area, especially the Ducktown district. I work hard to show guests what it was like to live in Atlantic City, for people of different backgrounds over two centuries.
