I had the privilege of hosting someone I call a friend and colleague on tour a couple weeks ago.

Phoenix police historian and active Phoenix police Sergeant Vinnie Cole and son. We’ve both been asked to be on a panel regarding a very famous Phoenix case. Details coming soon!

Chino valley’s territorial days is an excellent excuse! Come join me the weekend of August 30th through September 1st as we celebrate our old west heritage!!

I have been asked to come and speak the first day of the event at the Chino Valley library. I would love to see you there!

Abandon your ghost-hunting show marathons 📺 Get on the bus 🚐 and join us on a tour through the darkest corners of Phoenix 🌌 Experience the chills, thrills, and hopefully not too many spills (unless it’s a pint in the pub crawl 🍻). We promise you, our tour guide’s storytelling will have you hanging on to your seats! Better plot twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie 🎥 Will you be our next ‘ghoul’ friend? 💀

Want to come see the famous T rex saguaro up close???

I had the privilege of taking Ukrainian war refugees, a mother her daughter and their host, out on a tour of Phoenix today!

Took them to their first taco shop and I wish I would’ve gotten their reaction when trying guacamole and Horchata. They loved the guacamole so much they just kept going back for more and eating it with a spoon!

Every little thing I showed them they were so thrilled to see.

It made me so much more appreciative for all the little things to see the joy in their faces for all the things we take for granted.

Overjoyed to be the one to be able to show them around!

Arizona people! Me and my girls just spent two hours washing the bus so don’t worry, the monsoons are on their way!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Beyond honored to have once again, been able to do a tour for the Wounded Warriors project! I’m so happy to be able to do this for our veterans.

Tour guide taco review!!

It’s been a little while but I’m back with a place I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Gallo Blanco!

located in the middle of the Garfield historic district in Phoenix.

Probably the best restaurant chips I’ve ever ever had. Crispy and light. Salsas were good, but nothing to write home about.

We started with their house recommended appetizer. Evuelueto or something. It was good! Never seen anything like that on the menu before. Al Pastor wrapped in crispy, pan fried cheese. Grilled pepper and onion on the side with homemade tortillas.

Best corn tortillas I’ve ever had!!

The tacos themselves were OK. The pork belly taco was really good!

Would I go back?………..possibly to try something else. Definitely worth a shot if you’re in the area.

Where could we possibly be where we’re caught on security…….

These gems have witnessed the twist and turns of history, starting from the Wild West to what Phoenix is today.

Time for another…..



We are at torchy’s tacos. They have a few locations around the valley.

Very interesting menu. We went with an egg and brisket taco, battered fried, shrimp, green pork, and their signature Trash taco.

I would give all of them about a seven out of 10 each. Nothing mind blowing but solid all around. Salsas were very good too.

My girls got chicken tacos. As you can see, one was interested, and the other one is more of a chips and salsa kind of girl.

Would I go back? Yep!
