Who We Are

Tartan Tours began in September 1993 as the fulfillment of a dream that David and Carol Steele had for many years to have their own business. Since both David and Carol relate well to people and enjoy travel the tour industry was a natural type of business for them to enter. Beginning in 1993 they have developed a well-respected name in the community, with both customers and other tour operators.

The Scottish flavour is from both David and Carol's family. David was born in Forfar, Scotland, immigrated to Canada at the age of eleven and went to secondary school and college in Toronto. Carol's father was born in Tilicoultry, Scotland and immigrated to Canada at the age of three.  Both David and Carol are very active in church and cultural organizations in the city of Barrie.

As of January 1, 2006, we have restructured our company. We will now be known as Tartan Tours ~ A Division of Hanover Holidays. Over the past several years we have been advertising Hanover Holiday Tours as part of our expanding travel business. We also have become friends with Jim and Diane Diebel, the owners of Hanover Holidays, through our membership and involvement with the Ontario Motor Coach Association. We are excited to be given this opportunity to continue to serve our customers.
