Who is ‘Jimbo’—and why should he be your tour guide?! Well... maybe you shouldn't pick me. There are some incredible guides out there. But—if you’re into guides who are wildly passionate, genuinely caring, a little quirky, and absolutely committed to creating unforgettable, joy-filled adventures—then I might just be your guy. I love what I do so much I’d honestly do it for free. (Let’s keep that between us though... my accountant already has concerns.) I’ve always been drawn to tropical escapes, warm beaches, incredible food & drink and amazing times. Growing up in Chicago—a city bursting with culinary greatness—I developed a sharp palate, a big appetite, and a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and bold flavors. But even as I navigated the Windy City’s food scene, my heart was somewhere warmer. After years of childhood pilgrimages to Clearwater Beach (and a lifelong, often painful, devotion to the Miami Dolphins), I knew the tropics were calling. In 2004, I answered—and made Florida my home. Most recently, I left behind a 25-year tech sales career to follow my heart into something far more fulfilling: crafting amazing, impactful experiences for amazing people. Every single day, I get to meet curious, wonderful guests like you... share great bites and sips, swap stories, dive into quirky local history, and laugh until our cheeks hurt. My tours blend Florida’s tropical charm, rich history, vibrant flavours, and a dash of competitive fun—with trivia contests, secret prizes, and an exclusive “celebration chant” of good times and gratitude. I pour my heart into every experience, making sure it feels personal, memorable, and full of joy. And if you don’t see the perfect tour? Let’s dream one up together—Your vision, my passion! Creating lifelong memories for people means everything to me. Unbelievably excited to meet you and your guests on one of my tour soon -Cheers! 'Jimbo'
