Things To Do in Fresno

Whether it’s a family get-away, corporate travel, or you’re a new resident allow me to excite you in Fresno, the center of California. The Day Is Mine! Tour-Fresno is a full day walk-and-tail tour visiting the African Safari at Chaffee Zoo, cruising the historic Kearney Blvd. thats filled palm and eucalyptus trees, photos at the magical Olive Grove in Kearney Park, walking along the artful Fulton District to shop and eat at local downtown shops, and ending it where Fresno County began at Millerton Lake. The first time I visited the Safari I was AMAZED. . . breathtaking! This full-day tour is a “walk and tailing” tour; meaning you’ll tail (drive) behind me in the safety of your own vehicle from one attraction to the next. During the drive you’ll have access to me by Bluetooth or WhatsApp. Upon arriving at the attractions the walking part of the tour begins WITH me. I’m a local enthusiast so you’ll experience passionate commentary. I’m the only known Fresno guide to help you experience this inner-city trip!

The Day is Mine! Tour is open Monday-Thursday. Click here to see the availability and book your tour!

Cost: $360 for UP to 8 people including kids (same rate whether 1-8 persons)
