Meet Sherrie Ortiz, Your Kansas City Tour Guide

Why People Trust Me With Their Weekends

Kansas City isn’t just where I work—it’s home.

I grew up in Raytown, Missouri, and now live in Belton, just a short drive from downtown Kansas City. My family has always loved exploring museums and local history. I thought I knew Kansas City well, but the more I researched, the more I discovered just how many fascinating stories were hiding in plain sight. From famous visitors and local legends to everyday people who helped shape the city, every story leaves a mark. Sharing those connections and helping others see Kansas City through a different lens is what I really enjoy doing.

Whether I’m guiding a convention group through downtown, creating a custom experience for a family reunion, organizing a senior group outing, or leading visitors through Kansas City’s most fascinating neighborhoods, my goal is always the same: Help people experience Kansas City differently.

Custom Experiences Designed Around Your Group

No two groups are alike.

Some want Kansas City history and architecture. Others prefer art, murals, fountains, food, sports, or local hidden gems. Some groups want a relaxed sightseeing experience by bus, while others enjoy getting out and exploring on foot.

Together we’ll build an experience that fits your group’s pace, interests, and budget.

Popular custom experiences include:

Kansas City highlights tours
Art and sculpture experiences
Gangster and true-crime programs
Food and market experiences
Day trips outside Kansas City- longers tours coming in the fall.
Step-on guide services for motorcoach groups
Convention and conference activities

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

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!

“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.
