In graduate school, I decided I wanted to love what I do and do what I love. That's why I received a Master's in International Studies and concentration in Parks, Recreation and Tourism. I've lived my entire life in the South traveling through all the nooks and crannies of North Carolina from Murphy (mountains) to Manteo (coast). I love to share and show the beauty and culture of the Triangle, North Carolina and the Southern region. Gaining experience along the way managing group sales at a NC mountain ski lodge, teaching kayaking, nature camps and tours on the Outer Banks of NC and managing small and large nature events at the Raleigh Parks & Recreation, I took the next step to managing event planning in the hospitality industry. Waiting tables, bartending, hosting, planning industry events you name it, I've done it. I put my experience in the restaurant and hospitality industries and parlayed it into becoming a tour guide in all four Triangle cities. It was a natural fit. I'm excited to meet you and show you the best parts of the the Triangle. From business team building events, two hour or day outing to family reunions, I've lead thousands of people on all types of tours and adventures. Jacquelyn •Owner of local tour company since 2008.

Overview of your Raleigh tour
I'll give you an overview of the city from the State Capitol building grounds - one of the best-preserved examples of Greek Revival architecture in the US. Learn how a local drink influenced the selection of the capitol grounds, how a mishap caused the capital to burned to the ground and many more wired and one-of-a-kind facts about NC. You'll see the highlights of the city and visit one of the oldest Victorian neighborhoods, two of the oldest homes in Raleigh, the Executive mansion & we will take a walk down the oldest street in Raleigh to visit the City of Raleigh Museum. From colonization to the present, we'll explore Raleigh together. Be ready to laugh and admire this small southern capitol city.
