About

This is about “Us” Cathy & Sandy are a husband and wife team (25 year marriage & 7 years as the owners of LTH Tours).  Cathy worked part-time in the office of the founders of Life Time Highs for 6 years (another husband & wife team) and when the business suddenly came up for sale….well Sandy, couldn’t let this opportunity pass by. What did he get us into??? Funny thing; in the mid-1990’s Sandy obtained his private & commercial pilot licences and he dreamed of having a tour company….NEVER did we imagine it would be by Motor Coach. Cathy a (cheer)-leader in the customer service industry for 40 years – has a natural skill for bonding with & loving the clients as well as paying attention to the smallest details. Sandy’s laid-back, relaxed (yet firm when needed)  approach & techy expertiese makes us: the owners, tour designers, directors and guides for LTH Tours – perfect for  travellers to trust in feeling confident and safe they made the the right choice – thus ready to have fun as they experience something unique each tour they travel together….with us.

Hobbies & Interests
Whattttt? Hobbies & Interests???....Who has time for that when you are a small business owner??? Lol. Good thing our business is all about our interests. We love spending time with people and really love travelling....with a focus on finding those hidden gems to see. Family is very important to us and we haven't missed a moment with those we are closest to. Serving our community is another activity we have been involved with. Cathy has looked after our neighbourhood organizing block parties, petitioning to have roads and facilities improved and making sure most folks stay connected. Sandy is a board member of the community center and has over the many years, head coached our two children's sports teams (and let's face it....coached the parents too!) to winning (and the odd year losing) Championships. Now our kids are young adults, miss those days of thier busy-needs. Maybe too much info, but the daughter takes after her mom and is a new teacher...just like a tour director/guide she is taking these students on a life time high adventure too. Well, what about "the Boy", you ask? Haha....In pilot's school right now, with a duo-degree in business marketing. Seems our family tree has produced apples similar as their parents.

Virtual Tour Experience

Yikes! We don't do virtual tours, but have many quick video's to advertise our tours. Will link a few later.

Testimonials

Sorry - will post this later, as it takes time to compile. But 80% of our clientelle are repeat. Many are solo travellers who feel safe travelling with our Tours, we offer group dinners - meaning we will let the tour know when/where Sandy & Cathy are going for supper and anyone who would like to join us - they are welcome to do so. This has been a great success of building caring relationships with the tour. Feed back has been wonderful and then we see friendships form amongst the travellers.
