Welcome to Pickleball Tours!

Let’s get you started on your first journey with a tour of my website.

As an avid and active traveler, my mission is to “Promote the Movement of Travel” and to extol the virtues of Pickleball & Travel for the greater good, while promoting the physical and mental well-being it provides through increased movement, social connections, and focus.

To that end, we aim to disrupt the traditional travel model and offer a transformational experience to fulfill our customer’s list of travel goals. This is accomplished through a highly consultative, concierge service.
