TOHO Core Values: Education, Mindfulness, and Civic Engagement:

TOHO believes in education outside of the classroom. We manifest this passion through tourism and virtual services. Our walking tours stimulate both body and mind while searching for deeper symbolism in the spaces around us. Our educational programs promote social justice and encourage civic engagement.

TOHO Herstory: This social entrepreneurship was founded in 2018 by licensed tour guide, Kaitlin Calogera, after years of seeing a lack of women’s representation in history and public spaces.

Kaitlin mobilized a team who collectively turned this vision into a sustainable venture. Together, members of the TOHO community have revolutionized the tourism industry. Since our inception in July 2018, A Tour Of Her Own has hosted several major single day events in downtown DC, a bus tour to Maryland focused on Harriet Tubman, introduced a rotation of a dozen unique tours centered on women’s history, and established a strong social media and web presence promoting women’s history.
