AMERICA'S TRUSTED HISTORICAL TOUR CO.THE PRESIDENTS & PATRIOTS DIFFERENCE

Solo Travelers Welcome
Solo friendly
Whether you're newly single or, perhaps, your companion just isn't into history as much as you are, solo travelers will find our tours fun and enjoyable, all while discovering new places and meeting new friends. And don't feel like you'd be the odd one out ... our tours are comprised of roughly half doubles and half singles. As an added service, should you wish to be matched with another solo traveler, we will be more than happy to try to find you a roommate.

We're a "Travel Club"
Join the club
Our deluxe motor coach tours are designed with your comfort and enjoyment in mind, and our small group setting creates a much more intimate, personal setting when compared with other tours who attempt to fill their motor coaches to capacity. In fact, many of our guests are repeat participants (more than 90 of our guests have joined us on six or more tours!). This, combined with a shared interest in the history being experienced, makes for an unusually relaxed, fun and friendly atmosphere. As a result, many of our patrons have begun calling us "their Travel Club".

As seen on C-SPAN
Our host, Richard Norton Smith, was C-SPAN's in-house historian, where he was responsible for such long form series as Presidential Libraries: History Uncovered, The Contenders, and Influence and Image: America's First Ladies. If you are a C-SPAN viewer, you may have seen one or more of our tours featured over the past several years. C-SPAN has been along with us on several past trips, and has broadcast segments on their history channel, C-SPAN 3.

WHAT SETS US APART

For more than 25 years, Presidents and Patriots History Tours has offered historically themed travel premised on a simple idea – that there is no substitute for being there. Our itineraries reflect a wide range of historical interests, periods and places, enhanced by the commentary of noted author and historian Richard Norton Smith. We are committed to offering you uniquely professional travel packages, value, peace of mind, and outstanding service.

Full Transparency

Unlike travel agencies that quote a “base price” before adding on multiple expenses as you “build” your tour, our tour pricing is all inclusive.  That means first-class hotels, deluxe motor coach transportation, all included meals, and admission to all museums and other attractions. The same price includes all taxes and gratuities for group functions, including meals, guides, bellmen, and motor coach driver. Also included is full-service baggage handing for one large suitcase per person.

QUALITY MATTERS

Our tours are historically immersive. That means staying in atmospheric hotels, dining in historic restaurants, and arranging special experiences that make for memorable travel – all the while avoiding the herd-like feeling of large, impersonal tour groups.

At Your Service

Our team is available to you 7 days a week 365 days a year to answer any questions or concerns that may arise. You may feel free to telephone us anytime at (202) 657-7444 or email us at info@presidentsandpatriots.com
