Tour Management

Roxanne Eflin is a free-lance Certified International Tour Manager (CITM), trained through the International Guide Academy based in Denver, Colorado.  In addition, she holds an undergraduate degree in Urban Planning and a Masters of Arts degree in Urban Planning and Historic Preservation.

Roxanne provides a unique cultural heritage perspective on tours she manages with professionalism, gracious enthusiasm and fun.  She focuses on heritage and educational tours in an effort to help sustain communities through diverse cultural appreciation and compassion for authenticity.  

"At long last I have managed to clear my desk after my lovely holiday which was in the main down to your hard work. I learnt an awful lot about New England and the American culture. Roxanne, I would just like to thank you for making our holiday so perfect."   -T. Mitchell, Yorkshire, England

 

Assistance in Heritage Tourism Development includes:

  • Capitalizing on authentic assets and cost-effective promotion strategies - always with stewardship of the resource as the highest priority.
  • Grant writing to assist communities in heritage tourism planning and resource management.
  • Travel writing to attract attention to communities, downtowns and/or historic places.

 

"Roxanne was the best Tour Director we have ever had." -W.Pierce, Phoenix, Arizona


"We have toured many times all over the world and our guide achieved the rare feat of being a travelling companion as well as informed. It would not be possible to indicate how excellent this tour was. Everything was perfect and I would have to say it was a vacation of a lifetime." -MM, Aberdeen, Scotland


"Now that the jet-lag has receded, I finally feel capable of expressing our gratitude for the extra value you added to our holiday! We had only ever taken one coach trip before and it had not been the best experience so we were unsure that we had done the best thing to hand over our precious two weeks.  By the end of the trip, we wanted to do it all again and our friends are already sick of our singing your praises! It was your knowledge, organisation and, above all, your enthusiasm which made the trip so memorable.  New England helped - what a beautiful region - but it was above all the way you mixed fun, care, information and your obvious pride in your country and its culture which made the whole experience so positive." -S. Williams, London, England
