We have been providing educational travel adventures since 2013. Tour members continue to have a once in a lifetime experience while experiencing the history of our great country.
We had a great trip. Thank you for all the effort into planning it and taking the time to make all the modifications necessary due to closures of sites.
Definitely recommend American History Tours!
Glenn and the American History Tours team are top notch! The entire trip was orchestrated without any issues, the kids had an unforgettable experience they still talk about months later, and the parents who went enjoyed making those special memories with their kids. I would go on another trip with Glenn in a heartbeat!
I had an amazing experience working with American History Tours on the Civil Rights & Civil War trip from Charleston to Savannah. The itinerary was not only educational but also deeply engaging, offering powerful insights into our nation’s history. Glenn Fountain was truly inspiring to work with—his passion and knowledge brought every site and story to life. He made the travel experience something I will forever remember. Because of this, I plan to continue working with American History Tours for all my student travel needs, whether it’s Washington, D.C., Mackinac Island, or future history-focused journeys. Their professionalism, care, and dedication to meaningful learning experiences make them an invaluable partner in education-based travel.

Thank you for your awesome review Zachary. We really appreciate the time and energy you spend in writing it. We look forward to working with you and your students.
My daughter had an amazing time on her 8th grade East Coast trip with Lowell Middle School! The tour was fun, educational and very well organized. The staff communicated clearly and always put the kids’ safety first. Highly recommend!
Friends, you absolutely must find a way to do a trip with American History Tours. Glenn put together an incredible five day trip on the East Coast for our group. The students’ understanding of our history has broadened and deepened. It’s no longer just book knowledge, now it’s experienced knowledge. It’s real to them in a way that it wasn’t before. Glenn crafted an absolutely ideal experience for our group. There was no political bias and no hidden agenda.
His excellence in his craft and thorough planning was abundantly apparent. He took into consideration what would work well for our group and the various ages attending. We were homeschooling families spreading in ages from seven to sixty. Lots of different attention spans and still Glenn masterfully wove together an amazing trip.
This is more than a review, it is a recommendation and referral. You will be thrilled you took the opportunity to do some memory making!

Recently we traveled with Glen on a whirlwind tour of various historical sites out east. It was all fabulously organized with all the details covered. I felt 100% comfortable with our bus driver. How stress free to not have to drive in some of these highly congested cities. Everything we wanted was included. So, one warning to the wise, plan at least one night midweek to arrive back to the hotel early. You'll be glad for the extra rest
Glen did an amazing job directing our group while we traveled. He has an upbeat atritude and listened to any concerns that we had. The trip itself was so interesting... my 8, 15, and 17 year old kids never had a complaint. If we travel again, we will be giving Glen a call!
