Founded in 1947, General Tours is one of the oldest and most experienced tour companies in America. General Tours' guiding philosophy originated at the Geneva Peace Conference following the Second World War with a mission to build bridges of understanding between North America and Eastern Europe. Since the day General Tours' founders conceived this vision, more than 1 million travelers have participated in General Tours' programs.

Today, General Tours' combination of experience, value and expertise creates opportunities to enjoy unique itineraries at great prices in some of the world's most exciting destinations. General Tours plans their programs based on two primary objectives - choice and value.
