“ 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.”

OUR STORY & OUR TEAM

O

, 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!

“ You will have a wonderful experience traveling with American Classic Tours.

Great sightseeing, top notch accommodations, carefully planned trips to where ever your destination. You won’t go wrong planning your next trip with American Classic Tours.”

– Bev, August 2019

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.

FIRST HIRE AT AMERICAN CLASSIC, MARY PELC! After interviewing Mary for 10 minutes, Joe hired her on the spot! With her outgoing personality and great sense of humor Mary was a perfect fit for American Classic Tours. For 30 years Mary has charmed thousands of travelers as a tour director. Mary also is head of our Reservations Department.

J OE DISCOVERS HIS PASSION Joe attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated with a degree in American Studies.

Many different trips to choose from. Great hotels. Delicious food. Wonderful side trips. I absolutely recommend them.”

“ 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 Rockie 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.”

“ The hotels and all services were top notch. I went on the Chesapeake Bay tour and covered more sites and history than I had thought I would. JD the tour director knew everyone’s names and gave us a lot of pertinent information about each location we visited. This was a totally no stress trip! I am planning my next tours with American Classic tours.”

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!”
