Christina Thomas

About

Top-rated (and TripSchool Bootcamp-certified) Tour Director Christina Thomas has led OTR tours across 24 states and 19 national parks for adult, student, and performance groups (inc. marching and concert bands, string orchestras, and theater troupes). She also works as a step-on guide in L.A., specializing in Hollywood & Beverly Hills history tours. In addition to large and small groups of travelers from across the U.S. and around the world, she’s worked with everyone from celebrities, VIPs, and wealthy families to underprivileged teens and people of all ages with special needs. She treats everyone with the same respect, dignity, and discretion while providing exemplary customer service (a skill she learned working at Nordstrom early in her career). She loves making people's travel dreams come true and fostering environments for shared understanding across cultures and generations. With a diverse background, including roles as a TV news reporter, positive psychology coach, adaptive ski instructor, and consultative sales leader, she brings a wealth of experience to every journey. Christina studied in Germany for two semesters (and still speaks German), worked as a tour guide in the USVI after college, and traveled extensively during her 17-year media & entertainment tech sales career. Having explored six continents and skied on three (so far!), this major extrovert thrives on meeting new people and prides herself on being a resourceful super connector. As a hobbyist standup comic and the daughter of a history teacher, she eagerly infuses group tours with laughter, enthusiasm, and captivating narratives, promising an unforgettable adventure!
