Founded 15 years ago by longtime resident Leslie Diver, Island Living Tours educate and entertain. A real insider, Ms. Diver's tours provide an up-close-and-personal view of Palm Beach, highlighting its colorful history, world­class architecture, and the skinny on residents -famous and infamous. In a town that boasts incomparable allure and draws denizens that include rocker Rod Stewart, Yoko Ono, Bon Jovi, author James Patterson and President Number 45, Donald Trump, there are plenty of stories to share and mythical mansions to show.

Leslie Diver, her Haitian son, Gaby, and their two mini dachshunds, Bobo & Bullet, live happily together in an unassuming rental flat just north of Publix, the only supermarket in the town of Palm Beach.

After a satisfying 26-year career as a financial adviser, Leslie decided to take the proverbial plunge into entrepreneurship and started her private touring company. A 35-year resident of the town of Palm Beach, Leslie served on both its Architectural Review Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission for a combined 10 years. Her company, Island Living, is a member of the Town of Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce and Discover the Palm Beaches.

When not at work Leslie, Gaby and "the boys" love going to the beach, and watching the Miami Heat play over a good take-out dinner.

Officially a family since Gaby’s 19th birthday, you rarely see this family apart.
