Your Tour Guides….
Jacquelyn
-Raleigh & Durham Guide-
I took over the reins in early 2018 when Peter and Leigh retired to the coast – lucky! Growing up in the South, I was always the first at the dinner table and happy to do the dishes in order to enjoy some of mom’s homemade food. Food and family have always gone together for me. My best Christmas memories were not the gifts, but arriving at my grandparents to find a bowl of homemade chicken soup and chocolate chip cookies waiting at the dining table. Both my grandmothers were great cooks as is my mother. Me, I focus on the eating and praising of the chef. I’m a better eater then a cook!
I put myself through college working in the restaurant community – I did everything from waiting, running food to bartending to hosting. Working with independent restaurant is a natural fit for me coupled with 20+ experience planning events in the hospitality filed. I love showing off the restaurants and downtowns to locals and visitors alike.

– Raleigh Guide –
Originally from Florida, I’ve lived in Raleigh since 2016. I’ve backpacked all over the world, but my favorite cuisines from Peru and India. I love ice cream too and I’m excited to be a guide and show you all around downtown Raleigh as we eat at some great restaurants.
Mick
– Raleigh Guide –
I am a native-born Scot, of Irish parents, and became a naturalized American in 2011 to become more confused. That is why I am a stand-up comedian.
I love History and storytelling and that is why I am a tour guide. I love discovering new and old interesting places and learning about people like you and me. People that can, and do, the most amazing things whilst being capable of the most dumb and stupid things imaginable.
Life is a journey to be enjoyed and shared. That is why I want you to join me for a tour. Together we can learn, have some laughs, and celebrate being alive and kicking.
Sarah
– Raleigh Guide –
Hi! My name is Sarah and I’ve lived in (and loved) Raleigh since I was 5! I’m not always great at walking backwards and talking but I’m getting better at it each year. I love sharing my enthusiasm for Raleigh and good food to anyone who’ll listen, new or old. I don’t consider myself a food snob, but I do love trying the latest things and really anything in season or creative/unusual. I’m really passionate about history and love sharing the amazing story that have come to life for me since being a tour guide:) I really think this is the best way to spend your Saturday and look forward to meeting you!
