About Action Tour Guide
My Dad and I stood on top of a hill overlooking Machu Picchu, one of the most impressive views in the world… and shared a look of frustration. Why? Well our “five star” guide was reciting robotically from a barebones script. His monotone monologue robbed this ancient wonder of all of its magic! That’s just not what we had imagined when we planned a once-in-a-lifetime (and expensive!) visit to far-away Peru from our living room couch in Barrington, Rhode Island.
Right then and there, we decided that no one else should face that kind of frustration. This world is full of interesting stories, from the heroic tale of Sallie the Pitbull who protected her Civil War regiment in battle to the fishermen who insta-fried their catch in Yellowstone’s hot springs. My Dad and I are on a journey to discover all the stories our planet has to offer. Let’s explore together!
