I scheduled a walking tour of Providence with Deena for two friends visiting from the UK, and she was a perfect guide. Deena provided a very informative overview of Providence and also pointed out each important landmark while she walked us through so many historic neighborhoods. My friends had quite few questions as it was their first trip to America... More

Our family took a tour with Deena in Providence this weekend and had an excellent experience. Her knowledge and energy was incredible. From the beginning stages of planning the tour Deena was so helpful and designed a tour that was perfect for our family (who was celebrating my mother's birthday) including a recommendation for an excellent restaurant to dine at...

Deena is a highly smart and energetic tour guide - she gave us an excellent overview of Providence's physical, historical and cultural mores. She was pleasant and easy-going the whole time.

Was in town for unexpected reasons. Had wandered through downtown before and wondered "what's the story behind that?" Based on great Trip Advisor reviews, called Deena on a Friday evening and arranged for a tour the following morning. She spent some time asking me what my interests were and then created a tailored experience which she adjusted along the way... More

My sister, mom and I visited Providence to see the sites of some of our family history. We found Deena through her glowing (and well-deserved!) Trip Advisor ratings and booked two days of 3-hour tours. Deena was so accommodating and gave an overview tour of the city along with sites specific to our family. We couldn't have been more pleased... More

Deena was recommended to us by the Convention & Visitors Bureau in Providence for our tour group which visited the city by motorcoach a few days ago. She is delightful and very personable, in addition to the most important thing, knowledgable about her home city. Deena obviously loves Providence and that positive vibe comes through in the best possible way.... More

My wife and I hired Deena to give us a tour of the city. She was excellent. Her love for the city and it's people was immediately evident. Her tour was informative and interesting. She did a wonderful job of teaching us about the origins of the city and Its founders. We give her a strong recommendation.

On her tours Deena  teaches with passion and accuracy. She knows her subject well and joyfully shares her expertise. I give her enthusiastic tours my highest recommendation.  Helpful Hints -Free parking at Gano/Power St.  Meeting location.  -Duncan Donuts adjacent to that meeting location as well if you arrive early.
