Atlantic City - it's neon, The Boardwalk and casinos! But wait...there's so much more to this city and it's story. Let's "make a bet" that after our tour you'll have more reasons to love this city by the surf. As your guide I'll help you see "America's Playground" in a way you may never have expected. I fell in love with Atlantic City as a child when it first captivated me with its salt air, crashing surf, aroma of roasting peanuts and fun all along the Boardwalk. I've been coming back here ever since, discovering layers of reasons to, as one of the older local slogans said, "Do A.C." and "Experience Atlantic City". On our tour we'll go beyond the newspaper headlines and guide books version of the city to delve deep into the heart of a place that has drawn many to its shores since long ago when the area was called Absegami by New Jersey's native Lenni Lenape people. I'd love to share with you the fascinating sights and stories that even visitors who've been coming here for years may have missed. I'm also excited to customize a tour exactly to your interests. Miss America and and Sammy Davis Jr., Nucky Johnson and Sara Spencer Washington, gangsters and bootleggers, celebrities and swindlers, Mr. Peanut and Pavarotti - they are all among the many figures who are a part of the amazing stories of Atlantic City alongside the local families who made history here and the new generation of residents and entrepreneurs who are writing the next chapter of the city. They are among the fascinating figures you'll discover as we walk, talk, taste and explore on tour together. Laughing seagulls flying down to pluck snacks right out of your hands might be part of the experience too! There's an old song that invites you to come here with the words, "On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, we will walk in a dream…all will be peaches and cream. " While I can't promise you perfect - Atlantic City faces many challenges - know you will have a full experience that will leave you with a new appreciation for this special place and hopefully with a smile. Until we meet I leave you with the words of 1940s American vocalist, Dick Haymes: I hope to see you soon in "Romantic, Enchantic, Atlantic City!"
