Your Group.
Your Journey.
Built Around You.
For churches, family reunions, and groups of 30 or more who want something built specifically for them — not a set package, but a journey designed around your people, your interests, and your budget.
Every kind of group. One dedicated team.
Church Groups
Faith-based travel is one of our specialties. From the Ark Encounter Gospel Festival to custom faith-based itineraries, we understand the unique needs of church groups — including worship-friendly scheduling and sensitivity to faith traditions.
Family Reunions
Multi-generational family travel is our sweet spot. We design itineraries that give grandparents meaningful experiences, parents logistical relief, and kids memories they'll carry for life. One coach, one group, one unforgettable reunion.
Schools & Organizations
Educational groups, civic organizations, senior centers, and community groups all travel with us regularly. We build itineraries with educational value and the right pace for your members in mind.
Corporate & Professional
Team retreats, incentive travel, professional association trips — we handle the logistics so your group can focus on connecting, celebrating, or simply relaxing together.
From first conversation to farewell dinner.
Tell Us About Your Group
A quick conversation — your group size, interests, budget range, and preferred travel dates. The more we know upfront the better we can design something your group will love.
We Build Your Custom Itinerary
Our team designs a proposed itinerary specifically for your group — destinations, stops, meals, hotels, and experiences all tailored to your preferences and budget. We present it for your review and refinement.
You Approve, We Book Everything
Once you're happy with the itinerary we handle every reservation — hotels, attractions, group dining, admissions, and transportation all secured in advance so nothing is left to chance.
Your Group Boards the Coach
Show up at the departure point on the morning of your trip. Your tour director meets the group, introductions are made, and from that moment forward every detail is in our hands.
Come Home With Great Memories
We return your group safely and on schedule. Our team follows up after every custom tour to hear about the experience and start planning the next one.
The destination is just the beginning.
A custom group tour can be almost anything your group wants — from a single day trip to a week-long adventure.
Custom Day Trips
A single day experience built around your group's interests — farm visits, historic sites, scenic drives, shopping destinations, or any combination. Depart in the morning, home by evening.
Custom Weekend Tours
Two to three days built around one destination or a combination of stops. Hotels, meals, and attractions all arranged. Perfect for church retreats, family reunions, and group celebrations.
Custom Multi-Day Tours
Four to seven days across multiple destinations — a true road trip experience built entirely around your group. We've taken groups across the entire American South and East Coast on custom itineraries.
Because your group isn't like every other group.
Your pace, not ours.
Some groups want to see everything at full speed. Others want to linger and let experiences breathe. A custom tour moves at the pace your group actually wants.
Your interests, not a checklist.
Not every group wants the same highlights. We build around what your people actually care about — whether that's history, food, music, faith, nature, or all of the above.
Your budget, not ours.
Custom tours are built to your budget — we'll tell you honestly what's achievable and find creative ways to maximize your experience within your numbers.
Transparent pricing. No surprises.
Minimum Group Size
Custom group tours require a minimum of 30 travelers. This ensures per-person pricing is competitive and the coach experience is genuine. Groups smaller than 30 should explore our scheduled departure tours.
Custom Pricing
Every custom tour is priced individually based on destination, duration, hotels, meals, and attractions chosen. We provide a full itemized quote before you commit to anything. No surprises — ever.
Booking Timeline
We recommend beginning the custom tour planning process at least 90 days before your preferred departure date. Popular dates and attractions book up quickly — the earlier we start the more options we have available for your group.
📋 GROUP LEADER BENEFITS
As the group organizer you receive dedicated support from our team throughout the planning process — a single point of contact, regular updates, and flexible payment coordination for your members. We make it easy to be the hero who planned the trip everyone will be talking about for years.
Built for Groups.
Backed by Experience.
Not just a trip.
A story you'll be telling for years.
The laughter on the coach. The moment your group sees the Biltmore for the first time. The shared meal that becomes a tradition. The surprise stop nobody expected. Custom group tours don't just move people — they bring people together in ways that last long after the coach pulls back home.
We brought 47 people from our congregation on a custom tour to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Elite Coach & Tours handled everything — the coach, the hotel, the group meals, the tickets. Our job was just to show up and worship together. It was the most meaningful trip our church has ever taken and we are already planning next year's.
