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!

Discover the beauty, charm and coastal elegance of Southern California on this 5 hour journey through Orange County’s South Coast Riviera. You might know of the OC and Laguna Beach from their hit TV Shows, but how much do you truly know? For example, were you aware that Laguna Beach was once a bohemian artist colony? I grew up in "the OC", surfing in Huntington Beach and visiting the Newport Coast, so I'd love to share my insider's look on these iconic beach towns as I show you all the best spots around! We'll have enough time to explore each destination at a comfortable pace and stop for great shots of the towns and the coastline at the most scenic points. I can also totally tailor this tour to suit your interests, and could even offer you surf lessons, garden visits, art gallery tours and more! Just contact me and I'd be happy to send you a customized version of this tour for you to book.
-Our tour will start from an agreed on spot in Long Beach, from where we'll enjoy a scenic drive down the iconic Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). -Our first stop is Huntington Beach -Surf City USA-, one of my favourite beaches. -On arrival, we’ll walk the pier, watch surfers doing their feats & could even browse Main Street shops or even visit the free International Surfing Museum if open on the day of your tour. -Up next is the upscale Newport Beach, where over 9,000 boats fill the harbour. Here, we could visit Balboa Island and its lively Fun Zone of shops & cafés to soak in the “Newport vibe.” -Continuing along PCH, we’ll drive through the wealthy enclaves of Newport Beach & stop at Crystal Cove State Park. This beach is perfect for tidepooling & seeing SoCal’s coast in a more natural state. -Finally, we’ll arrive in stunning Laguna Beach with its hillside mansions & upscale galleries. You’ll have time to explore Main Beach and the vibrant, walkable downtown before we drive back for the end of the tour!
