Our readers have spoken out about RV Tours:
“I’m currently on a Yankee Tours caravan through the Canadian Maritime including Newfoundland and Labrador. Great tour!”
“We did a Passport America Caravan last year and really enjoyed it…… All the routes, planning and reservations are made by the organizer which makes the whole idea of traveling much less stressful. The other folks along on this caravan were fun and friendly and overall, it was a great experience. We’re thinking about an Alaska Caravan next year.”
Is taking your RV to Alaska on your bucket list? Maybe you haven’t done it yet because there’s a lot of planning involved. Or maybe your dream RV trip is to learn more about the Civil War, to visit the battlefields and museums, but again—planning the trip feels a little overwhelming.
If you enjoy caravaning with your RV, meeting new people, and seeing and learning about new areas of the country and the world, signing up for a guided RV tour may be the answer to shorten your bucket list. There are companies such as Fantasy RV Tours and Adventure Caravans, to name just a couple, who take care of all the planning and details for you.
Park accommodations are made for you, trip routes, restaurant reservations, museum tours. All you have to do is drive.
Fantasy RV Tours has several Alaska options for 2018, varying from 48 days to 62 days. There aren’t many spaces left, so if you’re interested, contact them right away .
Adventure Caravans also offers an Alaskan tour, The Ultimate Alaska Adventure, for 48 days beginning in June.
If staying in the lower 48 is more to your liking, here’s a sampling of other tours offered by both companies this year. Availability may be limited.

Free Willy I say. We’re in Fort Nelson B.C. right now, yesterday in Dawson Creek. Both days now sharing campgrounds with Fantasy Tours 62 day Alaskan trip. They are organized but so are we, having planned this trip for a year with another couple. RVing to Alaska 2018 has been a great resource for us in people posting road conditions and must see attractions. And of course “what floats our boat” attractions.
Escapees RV Club does a few guided trips under their HOP (Head Out Program).
