DeNure Tours is a family-owned business, started by Fred and Dorothy DeNure. Fred was a trained mechanic, with uncles in the bus business, and Dorothy was a natural hostess with a welcoming smile. Together, they embarked on this business of inviting guests to see interesting parts of North America, travelling by motorcoach. As a tour operator, DeNure Tours has always been different, in that they have owned their own buses, and the attention to detail with respect to maintenance and safety as well as driver and tour director training, and all the little details in arrangements and logistics for their trips, has resulted in memorable tours for guests for almost 65 years. Currently, Fred and Dorothy's son, Ray DeNure, is overseeing the operation of the company as it continues to grow.
Since 1960, we have provided safe, reliable transportation, mostly for tours. With our uncompromising integrity with respect to vehicle maintenance, adherence to transportation and labour regulations, and our dealings with other bus operators, we have earned the respect of our peers and suppliers in the motorcoach industry, and we have a solid safety record. We are experts when it comes to trip planning, taking into account details with respect to the vehicles, the drivers, and the passenger experience.
Over the years, we’ve established solid relationships with our peers in the motorcoach industry, and earned their trust with honest dealings and fair treatment. The same applies to the destination management organizations, hotels and the attractions we have dealt with for decades. Our long-serving staff work hard and take pride in ensuring that all guests, whether on one of our tours, a tour we've designed for others, or on a bus charter have a safe, enjoyable trip.
If, in addition to itinerary planning, you choose to use our tour directors and motorcoach transportation, you can be assured that our staff and drivers take care of your group from the moment you arrive to the last goodbye. They are experts who are passionate about your destination and eager to share their knowledge with you. Not only do they handle all the logistics, they also “bring on the fun”, enhancing the group experience, and connecting guests over your days spent together.
For 60 years, DeNure Tours has offered travel experiences throughout Canada, the United States, Britain and Europe. As the song goes, we wouldn’t be where we are today without “a little help from our friends.” We are pleased to work with other trusted coach operators, tour operators, destination management organizations, and the many suppliers we've been working with for so many years.
