Dear Customer;
Ageless Adventure Tours is a BC family owned and operated Tour Company specializing in
escorted tours of Canada, the US, and beyond, for over 33 years.
We invite you to join us on some incredible journeys this year and experience the Ageless
Adventure advantage: the best tour experience possible, diverse sightseeing, comfortable
accommodations, quality meals, small intimate group sizes, and tours that provide local
knowledge and a historical perspective. A professional tour guide who will create a safe, fun,
and casual atmosphere leads each of our tours. All tours are thoroughly researched and
designed for the mature adult and are anywhere from three to sixteen days in length.
Each year we include new or revised tours to keep our long-term customers returning for new
adventures. This year we have six new tours!
Please see page 2 for information on Covid 19 and our plans to keep you safe on the
tours.
Many things separate us from other companies: Our Stay’n’Play Programme, designed to
include multiple night stays in one location, unpack your suitcase and explore! Our Peace of
Mind Cancellation Plan which is second to none in the industry…cancel a tour for any reason
up to 48 hours before departure and receive a full refund. Our Home Pick-up and Drop-off
Service and 5% Early Payment Discount make travelling with us that much easier. We also
offer special discounts for repeat travellers…and these are just to mention a few of the perks
of joining us for your getaways.
Our website features all of our tours as well as our travel blog. We have added a new section
that will highlight “Coming Soon” tours to give you a sneak peek at what we are working on.
We believe our interesting itineraries will entice you to join our tours and our attention to detail
and excellent service will bring you back to travel with us year after year.
To our repeat customers we appreciate your emails, phone calls, and comments cards. Your
feedback and loyalty is invaluable and is a huge factor in our success.
Thank you for your business, we look forward to travelling with you in 2021 and beyond!
Kind Regards;
George and Melinda Burns
