Upon retiring, she was offered the opportunity to assist on the tours which allowed her to continue to meet and interact with others and share her love of Tucson.

Jennifer Slaght
Tour Guide
The Tucson AZ area is now home to Jennifer Slaght. Jennifer is a Coast Guard military brat, a 21-year retired USAF Loadmaster, and continues her adventures with her active-duty partner. She has traveled the world. Growing up, her family always explored as much of each location as possible, as they knew their stays would be short. During her career, she traveled to many overseas locations and took the opportunity to see and taste as much as she could. Her travel passion has led her to develop an in-depth knowledge of the food and art of the regions she visits. She looks forward to sharing Tucson's history and culinary delights with you.
