Hi, I'm Ruth, Born and raised in sunny Southern California, I grew up exploring the beaches and neighborhoods of beautiful Orange County and now call vibrant Long Beach my home. I’ve spent my career in tourism, leading tour groups across the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, and Asia, and working for years in destination marketing. But now I'm ready to start sharing my local knowledge with visitors looking to experience colourful Long Beach and the gorgeous beaches and cities of Orange County. My tours are fun, personal, and packed with local flavour. Whether you want to explore the artsy murals, food scene, and rich history of Long Beach, or stroll the famous beaches, historic sites, and coastal enclaves of Orange County, I’ve got you covered. I can personalize tours for any group size or interest and am happy to customize a day that’s just right for you in Long Beach or Orange County. I use a TCP-licensed vehicle and driver to ensure your tour is comfortable and seamless. I think I'm quite fun, knowledgeable and of course, professional, with an insider’s take I'd love to share on the places I love most. I’d love to help you create memories on your visit to Southern California. Let’s explore together!
