**Caravan Tours** is one of the oldest [guided tour](/source/Tour_guide) companies in the [United States](/source/United_States), having begun selling escorted travel tours in 1952. The company has been under the same family management and ownership since then. The company's tours are popular, and they frequently sell-out, especially in the summertime and fall.[1]

In 1966, the television [journalist](/source/Journalist) [Roger Mudd](/source/Roger_Mudd) hosted a two-hour travel special on [CBS](/source/CBS), utilizing Caravan Tours for the production.[2] The success of that show inspired the 1969 [romantic comedy](/source/Romantic_comedy) film *[If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium](/source/If_It's_Tuesday,_This_Must_Be_Belgium)*.

Caravan is the largest tour operator to Panama and Nova Scotia.[3][4]

Caravan's [Costa Rica](/source/Costa_Rica) tour is recommended by Mailpound, an information resource for travel agents.[5] It is also recommended for families by Homeschool Magazine.[6]

Caravan Tours is a member of the [American Society of Travel Agents](/source/American_Society_of_Travel_Agents), the National Tour Association, Cruise Lines International Association, and an allied member of the Alliance of Canadian Travel Agencies.
