Each tour is unique and designed specifically requests from agricultural groups, companies and organizations, to meet their unique needs.
In July 2011, AgriTours Canada with over 30 years of agricultural expertise in agritourism, joined up with Carlson Wagonlit Royal City Travel also located in Guelph, Ontario, combining traditional travel services offered by travel agencies with more specialized agricultural travel planning services.
Today Carlson Wagonlit Royal City Travel in partnership with AgriTours Canada (Consulting) Inc., is proud to be able to continue to plan agricultural specialty travel packages for both inbound and out-of-Canada bound clients including; individuals, associations and special interest groups!
Royal City Travel has provided AgriTours Canada with flights and special services for over 11 years, while AgriTours operated as a private wholesale tour company. With nearly 30 years of travel service history, Royal City recently became a Carlson Wagonlit Travel Partner, expanding their capabilities and increasing their offerings to their clients. With Guelph having such a huge base of agricultural companies, government agencies and associations, the opportunity to be able to provide their clients and potential clients with the specialty offerings for agricultural related travel and tour programs - made it a natural evolution to combine the AgriTours Canada agritourism travel specialty to their repertoire of agency services.
The combined capabilities of Royal City Travel and AgriTours Canada Consulting, now provides specialized agricultural tours, both locally and to clients abroad wishing to visit Canada for agricultural tours and events. Using a network of agricultural specialty travel agencies around the world, we are able to offer tour planning and implementation for agricultural travel almost anywhere in the world.
