Our responsibility
Act Tours - Thirty years ago we customized our first group tour to Europe. The “clients” were in fact A.C.T. founder Steve Kanold’s German students—22 in all, with three adult chaperones. The trip was a success; all returned with an appreciation of America, as well as foreign cultures. This was followed three years later by a second tour, comprised of more adults. The word got around that group travel was fun, and voila!—a new career was launched.
