on journeys to discover the rich history and scenic beauty of America, Joe Conroy founded American Classic Tours in 1988. Over the past 36 years, American Classic Tours has led thousands of travelers on all-inclusive, guided tours to the most beautiful destinations in America.

Together with his wife Sheila and an amazing team of long-time, loyal employees, Joe has a commitment to operate every single tour with heart and soul, offering care and customer service that only a small family business can deliver. Joe’s oldest son, JD, joined the team in 2016 with the dream of helping his father grow the family business. Over the past 7 years, American Classic Tours has witnessed its fastest period of growth expanding our list of destinations, including Europe, and adding many new talented members to our team.

American Classic Tours is excited to announce that Joe’s youngest son, Brendan, joined our team this past summer after graduating from the University of Illinois with a degree in History. Brendan has already led a few tours and is making great contributions to our Tour Design Team.

The American Classic Tours story is characterized by passion, hard-work, integrity, longtime employees, loyal travelers, and family, making it a realization of the American Dream.

Why we travel DREAM, BE CURIOUS & CREATE LASTING MEMORIES

T

R AV EL TAK ES OUR BR EATH AWAY, pulls us outside

ourselves, renews our hope, and inspires us to dream. Discovering a

destination’s natural world and experiencing its culture through the arts, architecture, and cuisine satisfies the curiosity that lies deep within our hearts. By stepping away from our everyday routine and connecting with new places, people, and traditions, we return home refreshed and rejuvenated, with broadened horizons, an enriched perspective, and memories that we treasure for a lifetime.

Mesmerized by the beauty of the world, we are infused with a new sense of wonder and our worries fall into proper place. Our tours are designed to create these transformative moments.

The art of travel We believe travel is a form of artistic expression. Like a classic painting, a great tour features all the elements to make it a masterpiece. With an uncompromising commitment to quality, our creative tour designers carefully hand-select each part of a tour to ensure an inspiring experience.

TAKE IT ALL IN Our tours strike a pleasant balance between planned activities and free time for you to relax and take it all in. Experience iconic, must-see attractions as well as off-thebeaten-path “hidden gems” that are favorites among locals. Allowing time to take the road less traveled makes all the difference.

GUIDED BY THE BEST We are proud of having the best tour directors in the industry. Caring and compassionate yet responsible and dependable, an American Classic Tour Director will go the extra mile to ensure a memorable tour experience. In addition, our premier local guides will provide articulate, in-depth tours of the places we visit along the way.

Savor DESTINATION-FOCUSED DINING There’s perhaps no better way to experience the essence of a destination than to enjoy its food, drink, and dining traditions. Cuisine is an ever-evolving expression of the history, agriculture, and the way of life of the people who call the destination you’re visiting home. Enjoy fine dining at hand-selected, local restaurants.

PREMIUM COMFORT A hallmark of an American Classic Tour is premium hotels. Our selection of lodging will provide you with a comfortable “home away from home” to rest and rejuvenate while you are on the road. We prioritize staying at hotels located in the heart of the cities we’re visiting, enabling you to easily explore and feel the pulse of a community.
