Meet Candice. . . your hidden gem, California valley-grown, nation-wide tour director. "You have to like and care about other people's experience. Are they too cold, too hot, what makes them feel welcomed, or what are they in the mood for? Hospitality and planning is a gift I received from my mother. Watching her year after year hosting events, holidays at home, and the way she ran her home-based business. It's a gift I'm growing through the tourism industry as I love the outdoors, nature, animals and anything near the water. Allow me to show you some hospitality central valley style. " - Candice This is a destiny, not a hobby. I hold an Associate Arts degree from Fresno City College in Recreation Leadership. I've trained in Sacramento and San Francisco in California, Times Square, Battery Park, and Roosevelt Island in New York, and along our national mall in Washington D. C with an international tour company. I rep California all day long - and on top of that the VALLEY! Valley grown, valley loved, valley rooted- yet culturally open. Fresno is a favorite spot. Fresno??? That's right! Fresno is the perfect place to take a tour. Why? Because you can easily taste the local businesses. You don't have to worry about too many "touristy" spots and fast talkers bombarding you. Enjoy the authentic retail in the Fulton District, the Safari within Chaffee Zoo, and nature at our surrounding parks and lakes with me.

Private Group Walking Tour
Overview of your Fresno tour
I'm inviting to you my personal QUICK get-away! Millerton Lake is a quick break for us locals here in Fresno. It's located within Fresno County just 15 minutes north of Fresno. It's in the city of Friant, California but still in Fresno County. View the place where Fresno County began in a former town called Millerton which is now a man-made state recreation lake. . . Millerton Lake! It covers the former town where Fresno County's first county seat was. This tour also gives visitors a lovely view of the Friant Dam. Take photos with my help, hear the history of the lake and enjoy nature. Millerton has a breathtaking walking trail, good for beginners yet thrilling enough for the expert as it gives you a constant view of the lake. After the historic commentary is given and photos are taken, I can assist you and point you in the direction of getting started on the hike if you desire. I have experience with Millerton's trail and there is always a park ranger at Millerton for safety. Cell phones are usable.
