Owner. Tour Guide. Personal Chauffeur.
Here to show you the very best of Franklin.
I am honored to be your Franklin tour guide and chauffeur. I’ve been in the hospitality business for over 30 years starting back in my native Detroit. Ensuring you have a memorable visit to Franklin, Tennessee is my ultimate goal. In fact, I have the inside scoop on the charming homes, historic sites, and fabulous downtown shops and restaurants.
In fact, my family founded LovelyFranklin.com which features the backstories of historic Franklin, along with providing both visitors and locals amazing travel guides for the perfect vacation or staycation in Franklin.
Your visit to Franklin will receive the VIP treatment, whether you are doing a Franklin Driving Tour, or simply an airport pick up and drop off to your hotel or Airbnb.
In addition to being a tour guide and chauffeur, I have been a professional Elvis impersonator for 20 years. So singing and carpool karaoke are optional! I’ve performed for over a million people as Elvis in 2,000+ live performances as NashvilleElvis.com.
Let me show you the town. I guarantee you will fall in love with Franklin!
