We welcome you to Huntsville and North Alabama. It is a delight to share our unique southern culture with you. We have an amazing array of experiences only found in the South. I'm getting excited about sharing this part of the country with you. I am a Southern Girl; I've always lived in the south. Moreso, I have called Huntsville home for more than 35 years. I live in Downtown Huntsville and I'm ready to share the hidden spaces and off-the-beaten path secrets. Art. Entertainment. Nature. Science. Food. History. They are all abundant spaces to explore. C'mon! We are going to have a memorable journey that you'll want to share with your friends. All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions Looking for a local tour guide? Seeking someone who knows the secret hide-aways and off-the-beaten paths? Prefer a local guide with local knowledge and insight? I have earned certification from the International Tour Management Institute (ITMI) in 2019. Additionally, I have earned a Civil Rights Master Class Certification from ITMI. I have served as a Group Leader for Road Scholar (2020). Currently I serve on the Huntsville Museum of Art's Black History Committee. Presently I am enrolled in Leadership of Greater Huntsville Flagship Class 34. I am not a driver-guide. Where transportation is needed we will hire a private transportation provider. If needed I can serve as a step-on guide in your socially-distanced vehicle.
