Welcome to Prime Tours. Serving world travelers with educational and enrichment tours since 1996
 

Call for a customized tour for any group, corporation, school, family or social organization, such as senior centers (including Boomers) or clubs. Most of our tours are customized for private groups of 25 guests or more, so most are not listed here. We sell mainly to group leaders, so give us a call. We understand that your group's tour is important to you and we will take the time to make sure it fits your objectives and exceeds your expectations...so you can sit back and focus on having a good time, too.

To see our customized Education Adventures for school groups to Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, L.A., Philly, Toronto and Europe, including IB Tours, visit our Education Division by clicking here.

Our Prime TourMatch service allows group leaders to show us any published packaged tour so we can match or beat the price AND show you specifically how we will make it a better tour.

A Great New Partnership for Us and Our Guests
We often get calls from travelers saying they heard about our great tours to Ireland and they want to take one on a certain date. But sometimes we can't help because we don't have a tour going on the exact date, or it's a private group that they cannot join....until now. Prime Tours is now a Preferred Partner with CIE Tours, the Ireland-based operator with hundreds of tours going to Ireland and Scotland. Travel to www.CIETours.com and explore all the possibilities. When you book a CIE Tour with us, you are guaranteed the lowest price, plus personal service, advice and answers to most any questions you might have about your destination, your hotels, food, culture or anything else.



New! Prime Tours is now Preferred Partners with Collette Tours, so call us about a tour to almost any country in the world! More details coming soon.

Want travel insurance? We offer one of the leaders, Travelex. Click the logo for details and application. The editors of Conde Nast Magazine, in the Ombudsman column "strongly recommend that readers consider comprehensive coverage when booking a tour or a cruise to protect their investment in case of an emergency or some other unforeseen difficulty." 

Live a longer, happier life. Take a tour. A survey showed about 90% of vacationers felt less stress after even short trips. Other research shows that not taking a break can speed up the aging process. Studies show people who don't take regular vacations have a much higher risk of coronary-related death. And don't forget that people value great memories, like those from a tour, more than material goods. So travel isn't just good for your soul. It's good for your heart, so join us on a tour.

We get to see so much and learn by your your tours. You make it great, too, because we know you will take care of anything and everything." N.D.

"Thank you and your colleagues very much for your work in planning the tour and for having Ian serve as the Tour Manager. Ian was indeed the perfect person for this group. His knowledge of Paris and Normandy made the tour a wonderful experience for all. He was very thorough in his narrative and explanations and most adaptable to any necessary changes required due to weather. He was even able to add some points of interest enhancing the tour beyond expectations. Of course, the travelers all enjoyed his personality and the attention he gave them." B.H. on 2012 Paris & Normandy Tour

"Merci, beaucoup! What a fabulous week we had – Tres bien. You are the consummate host. Your attention to detail is your hallmark. We can’t wait for the next world tour event." P.V. on 2012 Paris & Normandy Tour
