FAQs
Have you worked with high profile people?
Yes, for sure. I have already toured numerous celebrities including an NBA basketball coach and several NFL players. In my former career as a fitness trainer, I worked for over 20 years with some of the world’s most famous athletes, including winners of 7 NFL super bowls, 29 NFL pro bowl appearances, and a winner of the US Open golf tournament to name a few.
Can you do tours with more than 12 tour guests?
Yes, but we would need to work out the details. One common way of going about this is for you to have a second vehicle, such as a rental, that holds the additional people. The two vehicles would travel together and talk back and forth with cell phones, or walkie talkies where there’s no cell coverage. What about large groups larger than that? In this case, you would want to rent a bus and a driver and have me as your step on guide. I have done dozens of these tours and they can be lots of fun! Some of these tours have included family reunions, wedding parties, corporate meetings, etc.
What vehicle do you use?
For now, a 12 passenger Ford Transit Van and Chevy Tahoe.
Is there hiking on the tours?
There are short walks, especially doing boardwalks that are usually just a few hundred yards
What do we need to bring on your tours?
Bring comfortable foot ware such as hiking shoes or sneakers. The weather can change quickly at these high elevations so I always recommend a jacket and a small umbrella. Better to be safe than sorry.
Will we see wildlife?
There’s never a guarantee seeing wildlife because the parks are not big zoos, the animals come and go as they please. With that said, we do see wildlife on nearly every tour.
