Certified Tour Guide
Keri has been a local tour guide in San Diego since 1985. She is always happy to share facts, history, current events, trivia and stories about our city. She is flexible and able to accommodate most itinerary needs. She also drives a bus, so is in tune with the drivers, and works well with out-of-town drivers that may not know their way around. Besides San Diego, Keri also does many tours to Los Angeles, Hollywood, Palm Springs, Anza Borrego Desert, and over the road tours of California, the Pacific NW, the Southwest and national parks. People say she is enthusiastic, organized and fun!

Jan Shields
Retired
Jan became a San Diego Certified City Tour Guide in 2013. Prior to that she had led multi day tours throughout the United States and Europe and also had worked as a Cruise Hostess. After five years of being on the road Jan heard over and over from her tour guests how they “loved San Diego.” Deciding after 5 years of waking up in different beds and different cities for over half the year she thought what could be better than showing off the city she loved best and waking up in her own bedroom every morning. Jan loves showing off San Diego! Her favorite places include: Cabrillo Point, Balboa Park, Old Town, The Gaslamp District, Coronado, Little Italy, La Jolla and of course the impressive aircraft carrier the MIDWAY which opened as an aviation museum in 2004. The only question Jan has been asked over and over that stumps her is “where is your favorite place to go in San Diego.” The reason Jan explains is that because all the places that make up San Diego contribute equally to making it “America’s Finest City”. They all are unique and wonderful in their own way. |

Jaymie Rivaldi
Certified Tour Guide
Jaymie has nearly two decades of experience in tourism. A natural storyteller, she came to tour guiding after completing her Bachelors in French and spending two years managing the Provence Regional Tourist Board for the French Government Tourist Office. She fell in love with group travel while accompanying tour operators and journalists on familiarization tours and press trips and began to wonder if there was a way to travel for a living. This led her into a career in tour management. In 2006, she attended the International Tour Management Institute, and went on to lead tours for Adventures by Disney in Italy & France for four wonderful years. In 2010, Jaymie met her husband and relocated to his native city of San Diego. What a wonderful place to call home! She has also lived in her native Michigan, France, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York, and Italy. Jaymie is fluent in French and Italian. She is available for step-on tours of San Diego and San Diego County, meetings & events, airport meet & greets, and transfers. Jaymie has DMC experience, both in-house and on-site, as well as group travel operations experience from initial proposal through tour completion. Jaymie excels in dispatching, transportation, and hospitality desk. Since becoming an active local guide she has assisted with well over 500 conventions & events throughout San Diego. Jaymie has conducted hundreds of motor coach city tours for the cruise lines and is happy to serve as an ambassador for San Diego. |

Daire Coco
Certified Tour Guide
After spending most of her career behind a computer, Daire joined the hospitality industry in 2015 as a volunteer at the information desks at the San Diego International Airport. That led to a job at the cruise ship terminal, where she worked her way up to become a tour guide. Today, she leads bus tours and excursions around San Diego not just for cruise passengers, but for private and corporate groups as well. She also gives walking tours throughout the city, including historic Gaslamp tours dressed in full Victorian costume! Having lived for several years in Guadalajara, Mexico, Daire has a deep appreciation of the Mexican and Spanish influences on San Diego and enjoys sharing that knowledge with her guests. But what she loves the most about her work is meeting people from around the world and learning from them. |
