As we approach our 66th year here at Esplanade, we thought it would be fun to look back through our old documents. We discovered old brochures, maps, itineraries, airline tickets, and so much more. Take a look at some of our favorites below!

 

These pictures bring back such happy memories of travels in the 60’s and 70’s. Lebanon was fun and exciting with archaeological sites and a vibrant coast.  A short drive into Syria and Damascus with visits to Krak des Chevaliers the best crusader castle. Our tours of Pakistan continued through the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan with history and dramatic landscapes making for a wonderful experience.

Before computers wrote tickets with a press of a button, we had to hand write and had a box of airline plates to validate the ticket.  These are some of the airlines we used, and some that we still do! Northeast Airlines was the route from the northeast to Florida.

We had a wonderful collection of land tours in France taking each region and visiting it in depth. Ile de France & Normandy, Medieval France, all with fabulous food and wine and a cruise on the Canal du Midi visiting Carcassonne and the Camargue.

Get in Touch

Esplanade arranged a wonderful New Zealand adventure for my wife and myself in 2020…just a couple of months prior to Covid shutting down the world! During this difficult time for the planet, the staff from Esplanade continued to reach out to us on how they recommended we deal with our travel plans and the expenditures we had previously committed to. They continuously updated our travel plans and made all the necessary adjustments to our itineraries. Almost three years to the day later, we were able to enjoy our New Zealand trip. The reservations, excursions, and overall recommendations made by Esplanade were fantastic! We commented several times that their commitment to the smallest of details was very apparent. Our flights were perfectly spaced, our drivers all showed up on time, and our accommodations and excursions were beyond expectations. We now plan on trusting Esplanade for our future travels to Africa and Europe. We cannot recommend them more.
