HELLO FRIENDS and WELCOME to my home town! :) As a San Francisco Bay Area native, I'm passionate about sharing the very best of my home with guests. We are blessed to have some of the most beautiful scenery and dynamic culture in the world. I've been a Certified Guide and Tour Director for +12 YEARS. I can honestly say my education, enthusiasm and unique vehicle set me apart from other guides in the area. My guests especially enjoy visiting the areas most memorable locations from the back seat of a beautiful, fully loaded TESLA MODEL X SUV. The Teslas are such a fun and stylish cars to spend the day in. I'm also happy to demo many of the exciting (and constantly evolving) new tech features that make these vehicles so unique! Trained as a teacher, I believe we enjoy learning most through good stories! Eventually I left the classroom and now combine my love of teaching and travel to serve visitors coming to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Muir Woods and Wine Country. When I'm not home, I also lead guests in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and Europe for a 5-star global tour operator (so I know good service! ;) In my free time, I enjoy cooking classes, taking day-trips, and hiking with my 2 rescue dogs. A true San Franciscan at heart, the two things that get me out of bed in the morning are fresh-roasted coffee and warm sourdough bread. If you want to know where to eat well in the area, I'm happy to share recommendations with all my guests, as well as share tips and tricks for your independent exploration time!
