As you will soon see, we redesigned this catalog in its entirety. We’re always looking for ways to improve your experience, and the catalog is no exception. Some of the new features we’ve worked on to make it easier for you to browse and read the catalog include: • Larger images giving you a better feel for the destinations. • At-a-glance icons (identified below) to help you quickly and easily understand key tour attributes. • Quick-look date and pricing information. • Fold out cover with Departure Dates in by month, and a handy trip calendar on the inside pages. • New look for our Tour Departure Locations (we have 6 new locations to brag about!)

Rally is a new technology that offers seamless booking of bus transportation to concerts, sporting events, rallies and more. In addition, we now offer bus transportation for college students to travel to/from home for their breaks. So if you have children, grandchildren, relatives or friends who attend Penn State, West Virginia University or University of Maryland, let them know! More Exciting News! We are pleased to announce that Seniortours is now Starr Tours! The wonderful owners of Seniortours have retired and their valued customers will now be very well taken care of by Starr’s wonderful staff of travel experts.

Being a retired owner-operator from the trucking industry I can appreciate working for a family owned company that treats me with respect and personally cares for me. The work is fun and challenging, and I’m driving beautiful motorcoaches. I get to travel, meet great people, and see something new every day. -Calray S.
