Why People Trust Me With Their Weekends

Hi, I’m Sherrie Ortiz—and I’m obsessed with creating unforgettable days.

For 38 years, I’ve been in the business of making memories. First as a cake designer, then running my own bakery where every detail had to be perfect. You know that friend who plans family vacations that everyone raves about years later? That’s me.

Now I channel that same obsession with logistics and love of discovery into tours that feel less like following a guide and more like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots.

What makes my tours different?

  • Small groups (20 max) – You can actually hear me, ask questions, and connect with fellow explorers
  • Real stories, not boring facts – I share the gossip, the scandals, the stuff guidebooks skip
  • Flexibility – Need a pictures and selfies? Absolutely!

The truth? Kansas City has incredible stories hiding in plain sight. After living here my whole life, I still discover new things every single tour.

Ready for some adventure? Join our pre-planned Kansas City area tours, or let me design something custom for your group.

The only question is: What story do you want to tell after your next weekend?

Connect with me on Facebook and Instagram  AND Tick Tok to see what adventures await.

GBTA KC Tour

“Yesterday, I had the pleasure, along with a number of other GBTA Kansas City members and guests to participate in a Kansas City tour, led by Sherrie Ortiz from Just One Day Tours. I have lived in Kansas City for almost 20 years and I learned more exciting KC History in 90 minutes then I’ve learned in almost 2 decades.”

Heart BUS tour, I enjoyed this so much...

I enjoyed this tour so much (I got to see parts of KC I’d never seen before too!) Sherrie is a great tour guide, giving side notes along the way that I didn’t know! Despite the rainy weather, it was a great tour! Thank you for doing that!

We had a great time and learned so much!

If you are visiting for the first time or if you want a snapshot of Kansas City schedule with Sherrie and Just One Day Travel Tours!!!

“We enjoyed a wonderful tour around Kansas City, MO with Sherrie Ortiz and Just One Day Travel tours. Sherrie offers a bus tour with stops at some of the highlights of Kansas City. The stops are just long enough to whet your appetite to go back and visit. We stopped by the WWI memorial, which is the only one of its kind in the USA. Another stop was the Nelson-Atkins Museum. (This is a must see!). Another must see is Union Train Station. They have a large display of small electric trains with detailed landscapes. If you are visiting for the first time or if you want a snapshot of Kansas City schedule with Sherrie and Just One Day Travel Tours!!!” ~ D.B., 5 star review
