Wash All Your Cares Away

Welcome to Coastal Virginia - The Cradle of American History and Home to the Greatest Military in World History

In 1608 Capt. John Smith said it best about Coastal Virginia: “Heaven and Earth never agreed better to frame a place for Man’s habitation.”

AFR Tours, the region’s only full-service receptive tour operator with more than three decades of experience, will help your group explore the many historic, military, cultural, and natural wonders that ‘frame’ Coastal Virginia and the Historic Triangle. Our region offers something of interest to everyone, from world-class museums and historic sites to military bases and the plentiful Chesapeake Bay.

We specialize in cruise ship shore excursions, group tours for military reunions and conventions hosted in the area, and full service planning of inbound motorcoach tours from all over the east coast.

Coastal Virginia is home to sixteen military bases. Our community is honored to host all five of our nation’s military branches, and we welcome veterans with open arms. Fascinated by water? We’re surrounded by it—Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, rivers, back bays, sounds and streams. From fine-dining sunset cruises to whale-watching and kayaking with dolphins, AFR Tours will skillfully chart your course. Our professionally trained guides will help your group explore Coastal Virginia!

AFR TOURS TESTIMONIALS

Larry Swank,

Chairman, Reunion Planning Committee

Americal Division Veterans Association

The ADVA National Reunion in Norfolk was a lot of fun and well attended with 429, including six WWII members. All enjoyed the Army Transportation Museum and the tour of Joint Base Langley-Eustis to see the most current U.S. Army watercraft. I will never forget comments made by the granddaughter of one of our WWII veterans. She was so impressed with the reunion, and her grandfather kept saying it was the best time he’s had in his entire life.

Alen Fyfe

Reunion Chairman

4/9 Infantry Manchu Association

The 18th annual 4/9th Infantry Battalion reunion in Norfolk, VA was one of the most enjoyable ever thanks to AFR Tours and their great staff. The tours were expertly planned, including the special service honoring our very own (and Hampton, VA’s only) Medal of Honor recipient Ruppert Sargent. Our group could not ask for a better company to supply our reunion needs than AFR Tours.

Bill Davis

Reunion Chairman

A-6 Intruder Association

AFR Tours handles all the ‘heavy lifting’ for reunion planning activities and came with great reviews from other veterans’ organizations. Ted and Molly Dey and their Norfolk staff were essential to the success of our reunion. AFR Tours lined up the tour buses as necessary and provided an escort on each bus to ensure the tours stayed on time, and arranged for box lunches each day. Trust us when we say “Just use AFR Tours!”
