A former Southerner, Anne found herself a niche market as a tour guide showing other people's relatives and VIP’s around Los Angeles' "gloriously unusual" sights of the "real" L.A. She plans the outing or the client calls the shots. "People ask Anne, 'How could you spend the day with my mother?'" says Block, founder of Take My Mother, Please®, a service that takes visiting relatives off your hands-for a fee. "I always tell them, 'Your mother fascinates me!'" Block can take up to five people in her car on an eight-hour, customized adventure around the city (for larger groups she uses a van or bus). Anne also has a full year’s schedule of European specialty tours to France, Spain, Egypt, Italy and the U.K. Comedian Lily Tomlin says: ”It’s like traveling with Auntie Mame- Anne sees what’s wonderful and fabulous!” Anne’s been written about in Elle Magazine, The L.A.Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Observer, The Los Angeles Times , Chicago Tribune, New York Times , Money Magazine, The Independent, and Wall Street Journal due to her fabulous, original, customized VIP tour service. 323-737-2200; www.takemymotherplease.com
