In celebration of our 10th year in business, let’s take a trip down memory lane, reliving the highlights from the past year and looking forward to what’s in store for 2025.

Celebrating 10 Years of Bus Tours from Edmonton
This year marked a special milestone: our 10th year as Pro Tours! While the name Pro Tours may be relatively new, our roots in the travel industry go much deeper. Originally established as Promotion Tours in 2001, we acquired the company in 2014 and built on its legacy. Since then, we’ve worked hard to honor the trust and loyalty of the incredible clientele who came with us, while also carving out fresh paths with new travel experiences.
Over the past decade, we’ve evolved into one of the premier Edmonton bus tour companies, offering thoughtfully curated adventures that focus on breathtaking sights and immersive experiences. From scenic bus tours across Canada to unforgettable group excursions beyond our borders, we’ve created countless memories for both loyal and new travelers alike.
Behind the scenes, 2024 was full of planning, laughter, and teamwork. The Pro Tours team, from our amazing tour directors to our skilled drivers, plays a crucial role in delivering the smooth, worry-free experiences our guests have come to expect. And in 2023, we embraced a fresh chapter with a shorter, sharper name—Pro Tours Inc—while staying true to our mission of Creating Miles of Smiles for everyone who travels with us.
Here’s to 10 wonderful years of discovery, connection, and adventure—and many more to come!
