ABOUT US

This ensures top quality, value, and service while you are traveling, ALL while keeping your price at a fantastic VALUE!

Over the last 47 years, we have personally booked and handled every cruise and tour ourselves. We do not use a middle-man or outside agency. We personally book and plan exciting itineraries and cruises without any type of travel consolidator like most other companies use. This ensures top quality, value, and service on every Brian Judd Tours cruise and land package.

Our top priority is that every single client feels apart of our Brian Judd Tours family. Brian and Debbie Judd have run their business together for 47 years.  Their son, Steve has been traveling and working with his parents, since he was just 8 years old.  Steve works hand in hand with Brian & Debbie to ensure that our family travel agency continues to offer exciting packages, great value, incredible service, and once in a lifetime experiences for our cruise and tour groups.  In addition, Brian, Debbie, and Steve Judd all continue to personally escort our Tour and Cruise groups as well as work in the office.

Stop by the office and you will be happily greated by our other outstanding family team members.  Madison (Steve's sister-in-law) has been a vital part of our family business for 20 years taking care of all the day to day details, running the office, and helping our incredible clients with their travel needs. Tracy (Brian's sister) has been working both in the office and as a Tour Guide, since 2011. Her bubbly personality is contagious, her work ethic is unmatched, and has been a critical part of our family team.  Myriah (Steve's sister-in-law) was the last to join our team, and now has five years working diligently to assist our team and clients.  There are a lot of little details that go into every tour and cruise package that we offer andevery single time our clients rave about how everything was so perfectly taken care of.  Those details are carefully planned and taken care of by Myriah to ensure that your cruise or tour vacation is a wonderful and care-free experience.

At Brian Judd Tours we know that there are many travel providers out there and we truly appreciate you giving our small family business an opportunity to earn your trust and business.  Thank you!

Each Tour and Cruise package we offer is personally escorted by knowledgeable, intelligent, friendly, competent, caring, enthusiastic, kind, and professional guide/s.  Our tour guides are educators, historians, and extremely knowleadgable on the destinations you visit and will share special insights and their extensive knowledge with you.  This greatly enhances your travel experience and when you stop to take a picture of an important place, building, or site, you know exactly why.

Rest assured that when you travel with us you are traveling with the BEST in the industry. Each one of our guides has been to your destination many times, knows the area, the best sights, history and will share their knowledge to enhance your dream vacation. Having a tour/cruise guide that can educate you and maybe teach you something new makes for a great travel experience.

It is vital when you are traveling to be with someone with experience in that area. Most companies these days will send someone with little to no experience to escort you and in many cases hundreds of other people in your group. We know this is a huge mistake. One of our family company standards is that you will never travel to an area with an escort who has no experience in that part of the USA or the World. 

Brian, Debbie, and Steve Judd carefully select, train, and educate all our guides to ensure that when you travel with us you are traveling with family. Before one of our guides can take a group for the first time, they are trained for several years by traveling and assisting in those areas with Brian, Debbie, or Steve Judd. In addition, Brian, Debbie, and Steve  continue to escort many of our cruise and tour packages and love the opportunity to travel with our guests.

It is also especially important to our family that when you travel with us that you are traveling with guides who care about you and that their focus is on you and the group. Tour guides are there to enhance your tour and cruise experience, not detract from it. Rest assured that all our guides want to make your trip the absolute best trip.

Our tour/cruise guides are trained and know how to take care of every detail while you are traveling.  Yes, our guides are there to teach you about the important sites and areas that you are visiting, but also to make sure that your experience is smooth and care-free. Our guides have the experience and expertise to ensure that you not only have a wonderful time when travelling, but if something unexpected did happen, that they can personally take care of it on the spot. This ensures that if something changes or happens unexpectedly, they can make decisions without needing to call a head office for approval first which leaves the group in limbo.  Although we take great pride in taking care of the little details, the unexpected can happen and our guides will ensure you are properly taken care of.

While on tour with us you will get to know and enjoy your guide and feel confident that all of your needs will be taken care of. Sit back, relax and let us do all the work so that you can enjoy your vacation.

An exciting itinerary which includes the most important cities, sights, great entertainment, plus fun meals, and shopping are the ingredients to a fabulous vacation adventure.  We love the destinations we travel to and want to ensure that when you travel wtih us, you get to experience the very best of each place visited. 

Creating meaningful memories while on one of our cruise or tour groups is incredibly important to us. When booking with Brian Judd Tours you know that we have carefully planned an exciting itinerary to ensure you get the absolute best, see the most important sites, and that it is included in our exciting itineraries from the start!

There are many companies who offer a "cheap" starting price, but by the time you add it all up you can readily see that we have the BEST VALUE on all of our cruise and tour packages, right from the start! 

In the travel industry today, you should be careful with "low" or "cheap" price that does not include everything right from the start.  By the time you add in the taxes, fees, port charges (on cruises), airfare, tips and taxes, upgrade to a midship cabin, and more, that seemingly "cheap" price becomes more expensive than what you planned for.   

For 47 years we have led the industry by always including taxes, fees, port charges, government fees, transfers, sightseeing, admissions, meal packages, and more, right from the start.  That is how you get the BEST VALUE in the travel industry today! 

Because we have 47 years’ experience in the travel industry, we get you low-season prices during the "Peak" season at each destination.  You might be able to save a little money if you travel in the "off" season, but there is a reason it is called "off season".

Your best value is to be able to travel during and in the Peak season, but at off-season prices! Our experience and relationships with cruise lines, hotels, motor coach companies and other entities cannot be matched! We truly have the experience of managing all your travel needs and are able to secure the best rates and savings for Peak Season travel at off season prives.

With 47 years in business, we have more experience, knowledge, and expertise in the travel industry than most. We take pride in our service, quality, and value that we have provided our clients like you for nearly five decades.  It has been our pleasure meeting new friends and traveling the world with you and having you become part of the Brian Judd Tours family!  One of the best aspects of working in travel is getting to know so many incredible people. We appreciate the trust that you have put in us over all these years and appreciate the deep and lasting friendships we have made.

 In 47 years, we have also formed crucial relationships with industry leaders in cruising, hotels, airlines, restaurants, sightseeing, and more and because of those relationships and years of working together, we can secure the best possible pricing for you.  In the travel industry today, experience is everything!

Our focus has been on group travel for 47 years and with that experience you will get your BEST VALUE on every Brian Judd Tours cruise and land packages.

Unlike most companies, we limit each and every one of our tours and cruises.  When you travel with a group, it is important to feel like an individual and not part of a "herd" of people. By limiting our group sizes you are always with your tour/cruise guide on one bus and never feel like you are just a number!   

On ALL of our tours and cruises around the world it doesn't make sense to our family to take 100 + people at a time to visit special sights with only one tour guide. This impedes your ability to learn, enjoy and experience all the wonderful destinations across the USA and around the World. By limiting our groups to be about 50 passengers per group with one tour guide, you get a much more personal experience.  Other companies will take 200 people between 4 buses and yet still only send one tour guide.   We want you to get to know your guide, other group members, and have the experience that you you want, for that reason all our groups are limited in size.  This is rare to find in group travel!

As a small family business we are fully able, confident and competent in taking hundreds of people at a time on each tour and cruise package we offer. However, Brian and Debbie Judd decided in 1977, that it was more important for you as a client to fully enjoy, learn, and experience a fantastic vacation, rather than taking hundreds of people at once just to make more money.   At the end of the day, we value you as our client and never want you to feel like you are just a number. For this reason we limit each tour and cruise we offer. For example, on our African Safari and our Wonders of Peru tour we limit those groups to a maximum of 34 people. On cruise groups we limit the size to about 48 passengers per group. Each year we have to turn folks down, but it is important for us to make sure that when you travel with Brian Judd Tours you return with fantastic memories and feel satisfied that you got your BEST VALUE from your trip.

By limiting our group sizes this ensures that our tour/cruise guides can take care of all the details and get to know you personally. In the travel industry today this is extremley rare to find, but we pride ourselves in delivering the BEST VALUE and BEST vacation possible to you.

When you travel with us our goal is to make sure that when you return home from one of our cruise or tour packages, that you have returned feeling that you got more than expected and paid for.  We set incredibly ambitious standards for ourselves to ensure that we continually offer exciting itineraries, terrific value, include the absolute best service, and to also take feedback from you and incorporate that into future planning.  That is why after every tour we ask our travelers to let us know how we did and what we can do better.  We take pride in what we do but will do everything we can to improve ourselves and our product to meet your expectations. In the travel industry today, this is more than others will offer.

Our goals are to make sure that you return with a new love for the destination visited, have great memories, and new friendships. That you were not only able to see some incredible new places and areas, but that you also learned something new all while getting the very best value, service and quality in the travel industry. We are profoundly grateful to our clients, and it is because of you that we have been in business for 47 years. We value each client that travels with us and our main goal is that you feel like part of our family. We hope to earn your business and let us prove to you why we are consistently rated one of the best travel agencies in the Mid-west.
