“ The Canadian Rockies Adventure far exceeded my expectations.

The care for details is always evident in your tours with wonderful accommodations & included gourmet meals. The sights were spectacular and fun to enjoy by coach, boats, gondola, Snocoach and of course the famous Rocky Mountaineer. As a single traveler I’ve always felt safe and included by so many likeminded fun loving people. I’m looking forward to more adventures.”

OUR STORY & OUR TEAM , JOE CONROY. Days Like a lot of boys growing up in small town America, Joe had a paper route in the morning, UR STORY BEGI NS W ITH FOUNDER AND PR ESIDENT

baled hay and detasseled corn in the summer, and played football on Friday nights. Joe’s parents instilled in him and his five siblings the value of hard work, faith, family and love of country. In high school, Joe’s favorite subjects were history and geography. He became a tour guide at The John Deere Historic Site - planting the seeds for his career years later!

“ This family owned business puts you 1st, from the moment they pick you up at your door to the return to your home. I love that you never have to think about tipping, because the company pays all of them, including drivers, luggage handlers, tour guides, wait staff, etc. The local tour guides are full of local history, funny anecdotes, etc. We loved the summer beauty of the Canadian Rockies and were overwhelmed by the fall color on their Rocky Coast of Maine trip!”

1981

JOE ENTERS THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY In 1981 Joe landed a job as a tour director. Leading tours throughout North America, Joe realized the best way to learn about the American Experience is through travel - to witness inperson places only described in history books. Travel makes history comes alive.

“ We recently returned from New Mexico. It was a well organized tour that showed us the beauty of the country, the history of the people, their culture and customs.

The hotels were excellent and food delicious. I required gluten-free meals, and the restaurants and hotels were most accommodating.

People on the tour were friendly and are frequent travelers with American Classic. JD, our tour guide, kept things on schedule and was a joy to travel with. We highly recommend this company.”

“ We have done two trips with ACT — New Mexico and Crossing Lake Michigan with Blueberry Picking. Both of our Tour Managers were awesome.

In New Mexico we stayed at the best hotels and were served awesome dinners. We really like that tips and extras are included.”

– Helen, April 2020

“ This is my first trip with American Classic Tours. The Music Road Nashville to Memphis trip was wonderful. The tour director, Suzette was great. I highly recommend this tour company.”

– Kristine, March 2019

“ This is a top of the line tour company. Although I’d had three previous tours of Washington DC, the American Classic Tour surpassed all the others, in the knowledge dispensed. Their employees go the extra mile to handle any difficulties that may arise during your travels. The accommodations and dining selections are always top notch; but my favorite service is their home door pick up and return, with all the tips included. We make a lot of travel friends with this group.

So many repeat customers is a testimony to the excellent service of this company.”

“ We travel with American Classic because they take such good care of us. We have never been disappointed. Starting with the office staff, the driver who picks us up at our door and the tour guide, we get off to a relaxing vacation. Then the hotels, meals, and daily tour events round out an experience to remember and share.

Yes, we have traveled with other tour companies, but American Classic is #1 with us!”

– Barbara, April 2020

“ Loved the tour to San Antonio !

Great job J.D. Very organized and fun. The events were well planned.

We were on a previous trip with Suzette, and that trip was well done also. We will travel again with American Classic Tours.”

“ The Canadian Rockies aboard the Rocky Mountaineer was one the best tours we have ever taken. The tour director was always ready to answer questions and help in any way possible.

Taking a vacation without worrying about transportation, tipping, luggage handling, what to eat and where to eat (always the best place) made this a worry free tour. Just sit back, relax, enjoy and be pampered. What a way to travel!”
