Welcome to The Traveling Tour Guide Blog!

We’re newlyweds MaryKate and Alex. We share a love of travel and planning, and decided to share this love with the world via our blog! Our goal is to provide travel inspiration, insight, and itineraries for all of you to benefit from. This blog is a place to find reviews of attractions, restaurants, and destinations, as well as photos, ideas, and travel tips. We post itineraries from our trips that show what amazing things we fit timely in a trip, and what we found was the most efficient order. We love to see as much as possible when traveling!

MaryKate has been a tour guide for the past five years in both Newport, Rhode Island and Washington, DC. She loves anything cultural, particularly museums! Alex’s expertise is in finance, and for him, planning a trip all come downs to the best value for your budget. Together we hope to achieve our travel dreams, while also helping you plan your’s!
