Tours: Durham and Raleigh
Tony Scialabba
Intro: Meet Tony. New York born, North Carolina raised, and fully committed to ending each meal with a little something sweet. Tony made his way south at a young age, growing up on the Outer Banks, where beach life and football were always part of the routine. He later landed in Raleigh to attend NC State, and - like many people - never could leave North Carolina behind. During the week, Tony works with 5th graders at Saint Mary Magdalene, a role that takes patience, energy, and a solid sense of humor. Luckily for his tour groups, he brings all three attributes with him when he is out touring in Durham and Raleigh. On tour, Tony leans into what he loves most: sharing city history, highlighting the incredible local food scene, and bringing stories to life in a way that feels approachable and engaging. Ask him why he enjoys it, and it usually comes back to the people: Getting to meet folks from all over and showing off the cities he genuinely loves. When Tony is not out leading tours, you can probably find him outdoors with his dogs, hiking with his wife and daughter, playing games at Boxcar, or posted up watching football (especially if the NFL is on.)
About me: A few things you might learn about Tony along the way: 1) Buffalo chicken wings are his go-to, no questions asked. 2) We aren't kidding about his sweet tooth. Ice cream and chocolate are always in the mix. 3) Give Tony a game, a park, or anything football related, and he is in his element.
