AAA Shelby County’s
Motor Coach Tours are the Way to Go by Deborah Barga
Have you ever thought about taking a motor coach tour, but felt apprehensive? This isn’t uncommon, as many people who consider a group tour have some preconceived ideas about what it’s like. They fear it might not be right for them. But, before you make that determination for yourself, you may want to consider why these types of trips are so popular.
This year, AAA Shelby County will host nine local motor coach trips ranging from one day to one week. These trips are enjoyed by local residents of many age groups and include single travelers as well as couples. They allow you an opportunity to get
to know your fellow passengers, or perhaps simply enjoy the company of your traveling companion while not worrying about driving directions, traffic congestion or construction and
detours along the way.
You might ask yourself how these
Shirley Dunn of Anna, Ohio. “We enjoy the trips because we don’t worry about anything – they simply take care of everything along the way.” The Dunns also mentioned they enjoy the convenience offered with luggage handling and drop-offs at the door of many attractions, eliminating the added walking distance at sites
visited along the way. For some
food, good company and lots of fun! Tours and visits are well planned, with excellent AAA hosts and tour guides who do everything they can to make your trip even more enjoyable.”

types of trips differ from traveling on
your own. Many of the tours offered
by AAA Shelby County include a
step-on guide who is familiar with
the area and highly knowledgeable
about the local history. These tours
also include added features that may
not be available to those traveling
independently, such as special home
tours or prearranged dinners in highly acclaimed restaurants. Many motor coach tours also include important sites you may not have known even existed and simply would have passed right by. That’s where AAA’s careful tour planning comes in.
“When we took a tour to Branson last year, AAA took care of the tickets for our shows and we had great seats up close to the front,” said Ronnie and
travelers, it’s
the journey itself that is the most enjoyable aspect of motor coach touring, as it is simply an interesting, yet relaxing way to travel to a new and exciting
