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. Recreation Leadership AA Degree - Fresno City College Trained Tour Director - EF Explore America Vacation Specialist - Cruises Inc. Travel Agent - InteleTravel Tour Manager - Fresno City & County Historical Society Tour Director & Owner - Tour Guide Cafe This is a walk-and-tail model type of tour. This means that we will drive our own vehicle as you tail/drive directly behind me to our attractions. Upon arrival I will provide in-person guiding at each attraction.

Overview of your Fresno tour

Whether it's a family get-away, corporate travel, or you're a new resident allow me to excite you in Fresno, the center of California. The Day Is Mine! Tour-Fresno is a full day walk-and-tail tour visiting the African Safari at Chaffee Zoo, cruising the historic Kearney Blvd. thats filled palm and eucalyptus trees, photos at the magical Olive Grove in Kearney Park, walking along the artful Fulton District to shop and eat at local downtown shops, and ending it where Fresno County began at Millerton Lake. The first time I visited the Safari I was AMAZED. . . breathtaking! This full-day tour is a "walk and tailing" tour; meaning you'll tail (drive) behind me in the safety of your own vehicle from one attraction to the next. During the drive you'll have access to me by Bluetooth or WhatsApp. Upon arriving at the attractions the walking part of the tour begins WITH me. I'm a local enthusiast so you'll experience passionate commentary. I'm the only known Fresno guide to help you experience this inner-city trip!
