Hi, I'm Eric — a military veteran, dedicated history student, and founder of Take-N-Tampa Tours.

 

My path from service to historian started with a deep love for Tampa and its people. In the military, I learned the value of leaving no one behind. Today, I bring that same principle to history.

 

Our family-owned business runs on one mission: Inclusive Tampa History — Telling Everyone's Story.

Too many tours tell only one slice of Ybor City's past.

Take-N-Tampa was built to surface the full, diverse tapestry of this city — from the Cuban, Spanish, Italian, and Irish immigrants who laid its foundations, to the African American and LGBTQ+ communities who shaped its culture. Walk with me and you won't get a scripted tour — you'll get real, deeply researched history, brought to life through the local venues still keeping this district alive today.
