Mark Leuthold

Over 40 years I actively guided/managed/directed/conducted/escorted local, over-the-road and international tours, escorted flying tours, inter-modal tours, local San Francisco Bay Area tours, convention services, airport pickups hired by international, national and local tour operators.  The Western US and Canada are my backyards; the German speaking European Countries are my roots; the SF Bay Area is my home.

Locally, I am certified by the SFTGG to guide all Bay Area Regions, i.e. San Francisco City Tours, Muir Woods/Sausalito , Wine Country, Silicon Valley and Monterey/Carmel. It is with great joy I love to share my extensive knowledge, facts and stories tailored to my passengers.  

Incentive groups combining dynamic business and pleasure trips have also been a staple of my travel industry history. Series Tours by TUI, Trafalgar, New World Travel and Collette World Travel, amongst other tour operators focused mostly on the  Western US, Canada, and Europe. All tours require logistical, yet flexible planning to accommodate clients with the ultimate in service. My extensive Party, Event and Catering (separate resumé upon request) background also insures smooth facilitation of meals and vendor contracted services, I.e. helicopter flights, harbor cruises, meals, etc. My focus on the individual creates a secure and holistic environment for travelers to “live the adventure of a life time.”
