1981 JOE DISCOVERS HIS PASSION

“All attractions visited on our Nashville trip were wonderful! Suzette really knows how to make everyone feel welcome and is super efficient. Our bus driver Jeff couldn’t have been better. Worth every penny!!”

1988 AMERICAN CLASSIC TOURS IS FOUNDED

1991 JOE MARRIES SHEILA

1989 FIRST HIRE AT AMERICAN CLASSIC, MARY PELC!

AMERICANCLASSICTOURS.COM2

Joe founded American Classic Tours to design, market and operate upscale, all-inclusive tours throughout America. The tours are infused with an historical perspective in relation to the broader American Experience. The first trip was in May of 1988 to Nashville, Tennessee with Minnie Pearl and Roy Acuff at the Grand Ole Opry!

SHEILA KIRSTEN SUZETTE MARY ELLEN

In 1981 Joe graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in American Studies.

Joe married Sheila, the love of his life, in 1991. While Sheila has spent the last 29 years primarily focused on raising their four children, she has always been involved in operations at American Classic Tours and has been the supportive backbone to Joe and the team. Sheila has been working full-time at American Classic Tours since 2016.

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 in-person places only described in history books. Travel makes history comes alive.

Throughout his coursework, Joe enjoyed learning about the American Experience as reflected in its history, culture, architecture, literature, art, and music. His studies focused on America’s dramatic founding, its revolutionary ideals, system of government, and the historic figures who have put their imprint on our nation’s story.

1993 JD IS BORN Joe and Sheila welcomed their first child, Joseph Conroy Jr, also known as JD. More on him later…

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.

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!

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.

— Nancy, September 2019

I have taken many tours with American Classic Tours and I highly recommend this company. As I write this I am on the Autumn in the Adirondacks tour. Every trip leader has been has been so caring and they really know the areas we go to and and take excellent care of us. Our tour guide is JD and he is excellent at what he does! I'm now working on what tours to schedule for next year.

— Michael, September 2021 You will have a wonderful experience traveling with American Classic Tours. Great sight seeing, top notch accommodations, carefully planned trips to where ever your destination. You won’t go wrong planning your next trip with American Classic Tours.

— Beverly, August 2019 Just finished my trip to the Canadian Rockies. First time traveling with American Classic Tours. Everything was amazing.

— Patricia, October 2019 I just finished my second tour with this company — this one to Maine with JD. I cannot say enough great things about the entire experience. Everything from start to finish was done beautifully. JD was an excellent guide, and he was always one step ahead making sure everything went smoothly. The only suggestion I can make is to the people reading this —book a tour with American Classic!

We just returned from the Rose Parade tour. It was a great trip from getting picked up on December 28 to getting home. Friends of ours here in Sun City in Huntley, IL, had told us to expect nothing but the best ... and it was. Now we can look forward to our next trip.
