1967 – The tour that changed it all

denure long stay tours

1984 – Europe and UK

In 1960, Fred DeNure left a partnership he had with a cousin, RJ Trailways to pursue an operation of his own. Fred was awarded the contract to provide bussing to local schools in the Kawartha Lakes, with a fleet that would grow to more than 70 school busses. At this time, DeNure Tours was formed, offering its first multi-day sightseeing tour to Atlantic Canada.

Florida has long been nicknamed Canada's 11th province and in 1965, DeNure began operating coach tours to Florida. DeNure’s ‘Sunshine Holidays’ escorted Canadians by motorcoach down to the sunny south for an escape from the cold winters. In 1981, the Daytona “Sunshine Express” program debuts, shuttling guests from the cold Canadian winters to long-stay vacations in Daytona Beach, Florida. This program becomes so popular that just a few short years, it was expanded to weekly departures to Florida, later laying roots in Destin, St.Pete Beach and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

In 1966 Fred, Dorothy and their three children embarked on a 6-week tour of the southern USA in a converted school bus, resulting in many new itineraries designed. In 1967 with a handful of itineraries, DeNure Tours introduced its first brochure that included journeys to Florida, California, Newfoundland and Atlantic Canada. Many of the tours in Eastern Canada included a visit to Expo 67. In 1972 the school bus division was sold to concentrate solely on sightseeing, offering popular destinations in both Canada and USA, including a new tour to Alaska.

1984 – UK and Europe

If you’ve ever had the chance to meet or travel with Harry Simmons, then I’m sure you’ll join DeNure Tours in wishing him well as he enters retirement this month.

Harry has been with DeNure Tours for almost 30 years and during that time, he created and organized delightful holiday experiences throughout Britain and Europe. During his travels with DeNure guests, he has shared the unique spectacle of the Edinburgh Tattoo, acquainted them with Germany’s famous Rhine, and raised a glass of local wine as he introduced the beauty of the Italian coastline.

But even more importantly, Harry maintained a quick wit, shared an endless knowledge of history and literature, and was meticulous in ensuring that the tours exceeded our guests’ expectations.

Harry often said that there were three steps to a memorable holiday: planning the trip, taking it, and re-living the vacation through the stories, friendships and memories that were made. I know Harry has featured prominently in many of these great memories, and he will be missed by staff and passengers alike.

2009 – Business expands to include custom and groups

2018 – first hiking tour for a custom group, 2019 – first hiking tour is offered in a brochure, 2021 – deluxe hiking is born.

A new division is established to concentrate exclusively on active hiking tours.

While I love all of our tours, two of my favorites are the Calgary Stampede and Canada’s Maritimes. The scenery in the west is spectacular and the thrill of the Stampede is like nothing I have ever experienced before. When you go east in Canada there is so much to see and experience from the music of a kitchen party in Miramichi to the amazing natural beauty of Hopewell Rocks. The history of Lunenburg or Peggy’s Cove, and the most welcoming people you will ever meet. I look forward to exploring some of my favorite destinations with you on one of our tours.” When Howard is not busy working, he enjoys spending time with his family, baking, teaching part time for St. John Ambulance, and travelling.

Floyd Walden

Floyd Walden was born and raised in Lindsay Ontario. A social country lad, close to the land, with a keen interest in geography, led him to a 35-year career in education including 3 years in a one-room school teaching all eight grades before moving to the secondary panel. Growing up in a rural community, country living led him to operate a cow-calf farm with the help of his three sons. Floyd began tour directing part time in the late 90’s during the summer months while supply teaching and has now been guiding tours for 20 years. Tour directing has taken Floyd throughout North America; his favourite place to visit in Canada is Newfoundland with its rugged landscape, quaint villages, and most of all its people—so happy, open, and welcoming. Tour directing is a natural fit for Floyd who loves people and enjoys sharing this knowledge with his signature sense of humour.

Extend your summer with DeNureTours sunshine vacation destinations in Florida and South Carolina

Plan your fall or winter vacation now to destinations in daytona beach and st. pete beach in florida and myrtle beach in south carolina.

DeNureTours in Lindsay offers sunshine vacation opportunities during the fall and winter where guests can enjoy a longer season of sunshine, beaches and mood-boosting benefits. DeNureTours has multiple itineraries to Daytona Beach (pictured) and St. Pete Beach in Florida and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. (Supplied photo)

While we’re just gearing up for summer, it’s never too early to start planning your next sunshine vacation. Before you know it fall will be roaring in and with it the shorter days, colder weather, and even — gasp! — snow.

There are plenty of reasons to travel during the fall and winter, like fewer crowds and off-season prices.

Follow the links for more details:

  • Daytona Beach, Florida (10, 17 or 24 days from September 7, 2019 – May 9, 2020)
  • Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (10, 17 or 24 days from October 23, 2019 – November 18, 2020)
  • St. Pete Beach, Florida (10, 17 or 24 days from January 18, 2020 – February 29, 2020)

To plan your next sunshine vacation, visit denuretours.com or call 1-866-967-9909 (toll free).

For a longer season of sunshine, beaches, and mood-boosting benefits, DeNureTours in Lindsay is offering sunshine destination packages to Florida and South Carolina, that will make you forget fallen leaves and the frost.

After all, the birds aren’t the only ones who need to migrate south to keep warm.

Throughout fall and winter, DeNureTours offers a variety of departures to Daytona Beach and St. Pete Beach, Florida, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — all ideal vacation spots that offer the perfect combination of popular local attractions, fun day excursions with fellow Canadian travellers, and time to unwind poolside or on the sandy beaches that DeNureTours’ sunshine vacations are known for.

Bringing guests to these southern locales has been part of the travel agency’s business for over 50 years. DeNureTours’ long-stay resort programs in Florida and South Carolina continue to be popular for those looking to escape the Canadian chill.

Each destination resort overlooks the ocean and offers activity programs and shuttle transportation. All properties have kitchen facilities, and features a swimming pool, whirlpool, elevators and an activity room to meet with a DeNureTours representative and socialize with fellow guests.

Each destination resort overlooks the ocean and offers activity programs and shuttle transportation. All properties have kitchen facilities, and each features a swimming pool, whirlpool, elevators and an activity room to meet with a DeNureTours representative and socialize with fellow guests.

Not sure which of the three destinations to choose? Maybe you want St. Pete’s white-sand beaches, or Daytona’s stunning sunrises, or the southern charm of Myrtle Beach.

“Each Sunshine Vacation destination has its own unique features and flavour,” says Mary Kay McGuinness, a tour director at DeNureTours for over 25 years and the Canadian Coordinator for Sunshine Vacations.

“If you’re looking for a little clarity and inspiration to get your trip planning started, a DeNure representative can help you find the getaway that is ideally suited for you.”

DeNureTours will get you to your Florida and South Carolina destination by the travel mode that best suits you, whether by flying or travelling in their comfortable luxury motorcoach (pictured here) that gets you there in a day and a half. (Supplied photo)

You also get the flexibility of creating the vacation of your dreams by choosing your departure date and location, timetable, tours and duration. The pace of each tour varies by itinerary, as each destination and its activities are unique. With DeNureTours’ extensive catalog, you can add whatever extras you like.

You can travel hassle-free knowing that DeNureTours has taken care of all the “little things” so you don’t have to, which will make the difference so that your trip is exceptional, explains McGuinness.

“When planning a trip, every detail is important. We’ll save you the time and effort of doing the research and planning on your own. We want to ensure that the moment of enjoying your vacation starts right when you book with us. All you have to do is relax and enjoy it.”

DeNureTours will get you to your Florida and South Carolina destination by the travel mode which best suits you, whether it’s by their comfortable luxury motorcoach (which gets you there in a day and a half), or by flying. When booked through DeNureTours, your flight price to St. Pete and Myrtle Beach also includes return transfers between the U.S. airport and the resort.

McGuinness says everything you need is provided once you arrive: accommodation, shuttle transportation, an on-site DeNureTours representative, activities and social events, and much more. DeNureTours staff are highly qualified and competent to pay attention to the needs of guests, including any unexpected situations that may arise.

“Being meticulous with the travel details shows our commitment not only to the vacation, but also to our guests and the staff who work at the individual destinations,” says McGuinness.

Named by the New York Times as one of the best places in the world to visit, St. Pete's sun-soaked beaches, calm Gulf waters, eclectic culinary scene (notably, the seafood) and sunset vistas are a winning combination. (Supplied photo)

While you may be miles away from home, you can expect your resort to have all the conveniences of home.

Relax and focus on making memories with scheduled events, or take part in social get-togethers like wine and cheese receptions, bingo or movie nights with fellow Canadians in the DeNureTours hospitality suite. The hospitality suite is open all day and guests are encouraged to use it as a meeting place.

The activity shuttle bus is available to all guests, for many local excursions, shopping and dinner outings. The shuttle bus drivers are friendly and helpful, offering local information and their personal knowledge of the area they call home.

With the trend towards more immersive extended vacations, a DeNureTours Sunshine Vacation is the perfect amount of time to get a taste of local flavour. DeNure representatives will give you a variety of “locals-recommended” things to do.

“You’ll see much more than just the town you’re staying in,” says McGuinness. “These destinations are full of incredible food, music, sights and people. You’re going to want to use that time to soak up as many experiences as you wish, as opposed to just coasting through.”

Many Canadians prefer travel to south of the border because of the familiarity to their own culture, language, and currency, notes McGuinness.

When trying to entice Canadians to visit the U.S., she says the first thing she does is remind them that it’s more affordable than they think.

“Yes, people travel relative to the strength of the Canadian dollar and what they’re used to paying in exchange rates, but guests know what they’re going to pay upfront when they book a DeNureTours vacation,” she says.

Sunshine Vacations become repeat destinations because guests develop an emotional attachment to these spots through amazing experiences they’ve had with family, friends, and DeNure staff, she adds.

“There’s comfort, safety, and less risk in familiar places.”

And, should you experience a medical emergency while travelling, a DeNureTours on-site representative is stationed in all destinations to offer assistance with organizing travel back home to Canada and resolve any queries or problems that may arise during your stay.

DeNureTours is currently offering multiple departures to Daytona Beach and Myrtle Beach for fall 2019, and has added St. Pete Beach to the roster for winter 2020. Here are some highlights to anticipate on each visit.

St. Pete Beach, Florida (10 Days, 17 Days, or 24 Days)

Named by the New York Times as one of the best places in the world to visit, St. Pete’s sun-soaked beaches, calm Gulf waters, eclectic culinary scene (notably, the seafood), and sunset vistas are a winning combination.

Explore the neighbourhoods of St. Pete Beach using the Suncoast Beach Trolley. Discover the shops on Corey Avenue, or enjoy a visit to John’s Pass — a turn-of-the-century fishing village with great dining, superb shopping, dolphin watching, and fabulous fishing.

Nearby Pass-A-Grille is a historic beachfront paradise at the southern tip of St. Pete Beach: a quaint spot dotted with beach boutiques, surf shacks, and art galleries.

See the area’s many museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg Museum of History, and The Dali Museum. If you have a green thumb, explore the winding paths and cascading waterfalls of Sunken Gardens, St. Petersburg’s oldest living museum at one hundred years old.

At Fort DeSoto Park, fish from two free piers, 24 hours a day, and hike a seven-mile stretch of wilderness that inter-connects five islands.

Get retail therapy shopping the Ellenton Premium outlets of 130 stores, visit the historic community of Tarpon Springs, catch a hockey game in Tampa or a Blue Jays game in Dunedin, or try renting your own speedboat or hiring a charter for inshore or deep-sea fishing.

Daytona Beach, Florida (10 Days, 17 Days, or 24 Days)

Home of the “the world’s most famous beach” and jaw-dropping sunrises, Daytona draws sunseekers, beach lovers, socialites, and active adventurers from all over. Visit the Daytona Beach Pier, an historic attraction along the 37-kilometre stretch of hard-packed sand.

From motorsports to music to food, Daytona Beach is home to over 60 renowned festivals. Explore the sights, sounds, and flavours of the Fiesta Italiana, Halifax Art Festival, Celtic Festival, Oyster Festival, Daytona Turkey Run Car Show and Swap, Riverfest Seafood Festival, and many more.

For the outdoor enthusiast, try your hand at parasailing, paddle boarding, ocean kayaking, surfing, jet skiing, scuba diving shipwrecks, or snorkelling artificial reefs.

If fishing is high on your list, cast a line from the pier or by charter for tarpon, sailfish, redfish, spotted sea, and trout. Troll inshore amid the mangroves, or go guided deep-sea fishing and bring back dinner with an amazing tale.

You’ll want to visit the 1887 Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and Museum (Florida’s tallest) that provides gorgeous views 53 metres above the Atlantic, or maybe the Marine Science Center which boasts a 5000-gallon reef aquarium and a stingray touch pool.

See the Museum of Arts & Sciences which pays tribute to speed, history and space, showcasing a mishmash of Cuban art and American memorabilia, or take a relaxing stroll along the historic boardwalk, an esplanade of entertainment built in 1920 with its famous coquina rock bandshell amphitheatre.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (10 Days, 17 Days, or 24 Days)

Aside from its southern appeal, Myrtle Beach is known for its great entertainment, shopping, dining, and attractions.

The soft white sand of Myrtle Beach stretches along the Atlantic for 96 kilometres. The best views of the Grand Strand are from the top of the 187-foot-high SkyWheel, the centrepiece of the Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade.

Visit Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, a favourite destination with over 9,000 acres of breathtaking natural beauty. If you want to shop ’til you drop, don’t miss the Market Common, the Coastal Grand Mall, Barefoot Landing, or Broadway at the Beach, which has 350 acres of one-of-a-kind boutiques along the water.

Try your hand at golf with over 100 meticulous Myrtle Beach courses, enjoy unique and delicious dishes at one of the many surf shacks or lounges, or stroll the heart of the historic Murrells Inlet fishing village, where the MarshWalk serves up live entertainment and savoury Lowcountry dishes set against rustling palmettos and golden grasses at sunset.

Feeling adventurous? Take a day trip to Charleston (two hours south of Myrtle Beach) to experience a horse-drawn carriage ride down charming cobblestone streets, preserved in history and lined with pastel antebellum houses. The spectacular gardens and gigantic oaks hung with Spanish moss give Charleston its distinctive charm. And don’t miss a visit to the French Quarter or the Battery.

If you’re ready to plan your sunshine vacation adventure this fall or winter, book your trip with DeNureTours.

What Is A Long Stay

The sunny destinations currently offered  in Florida and South Carolina and our new addition in The Algarve, Portugal, are ideal vacation spots with great weather and amenities to match any traveller’s interests, energy levels and lifestyles. The properties we use are as varied as our destinations. They all provide the space you need to relax and enjoy the swimming pool, whirlpool, or stop by the activity room to socialize with fellow guests. In general, the properties have kitchen facilities, elevators and guest laundry facilities.

In the U.S. destinations, there is a Sunshine Getaways Program Director who has put together welcoming and entertaining programs for your enjoyment and a schedule of social outings  including local special events. Weekly theatre shows, shopping trips, local museums, dining trips, and spring baseball are a few examples of the activities available. The activities offered change from week to week and depend on the season and location. Guests can also choose to just relax on the beach or sit by the pool and soak up the sun.

Our new long stay destination in Portugal does not  include shuttle transportation or a formal activity program, but there is a grocery store and many things to see and do within walking distance of the property.  Our on-site Sunshine Getaways representative will be available to answer questions and provide suggestions.

These trips are particularly good for solo travellers, since there are many opportunities to meet and enjoy the company of like-minded fellow guests.

How Do I Get There

We recognize that air travel is not for everyone, so we offer a unique service.

Transportation is an important component of our Sunshine Getaways. We offer a unique motorcoach service to all of our sunny destinations in Florida and Myrtle Beach.

This eliminates an overnight stay; however, we do stop for comfort breaks every 3-4 hours en route. Our friendly drivers help you through border crossings and restaurants stops. Below is how the schedule works:

Southbound Travel

Day 1: Morning departure

Day 2: Arrive at destination in afternoon

Northbound Travel

Day 1: Afternoon departure

Day 2: Arrive at home in evening

The Comfort of Coach Travel

A standard coach accommodates 56 passengers; however, we have removed seating and reconfigured them for your travel comfort, allowing for greater legroom so you can sit back and relax. Seating is subject to availability and is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Our luxury motorcoaches feature:

  • Increased legroom
  • Reclining seats
  • Washroom onboard
  • Entertainment system (bring your headsets to enjoy satellite radio and movies)

Prefer to Fly?

Our Sunshine Getaways are also available in conjunction with return flights from major Canadian cities (additional charges may apply.) When booked through Sunshine Getaways, your flight price to Orlando, Tampa and Myrtle Beach also includes return transfers between the U.S. airport and the resort.

Customer

My wife & I have just completed the Journey of a Lifetime 16 day 15 night Trip as organised by Express to Russia. We also had a tour of St Petersburg & Moscow as well. The planning & execution of both trips was well above our expectations. The guides we had in all of our destinations were exceptional & the meet & greet & return to the stations went as smooth as clockwork. We had one minor hitch but that was through no fault of Express to Russia..a quick email from our Ipad had the problem resolved immediately We did have some misgivings at the start about doing the booking online ourselves but Elena was wonderful & answered all of our questions promptly & to our satisfaction. We felt comfortable with the whole process.The train trip is wonderful with Mongolia being a "special " place for us! We highly recommend Elena & her company. I am happy to answer any questions any body may wish to ask.

Thank you so very much for organizing our trip. Everything went wonderfully, and we really enjoyed our time in Russia. Moscow was beautiful, Lake Baikal was very cold, yet very fun to swim in, and the DPR Koreans that I met and made friends with in Vladivostok was beyond priceless. The guides you got for us did an exceptional job, and the drivers helped us out a lot as well. The hotels you got for us were great, and the room you got for us in the Vladivostok really made the long stay comfortable. The trains were also very enjoyable as was the Russian hospitality, although we really weren´t expecting people to be so generous or helpful. Overall, the trip was wonderful, and you arranged it magnificently. You really went out of your way to accommodate my schedule and help me with my schoolwork, so I really appreciate it; I couldn´t have done it without you. So once again, thank you for all of your efforts, and hopefully in the future you will be able to help us out again. Take care, and thank you for everything.

A train on Trans-Siberian Railway

Trans-Siberian Train

The main route of the Trans-Siberian Railway begins in Moscow and heads east to Vladivostok passing through Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, Chita, Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk. The length of the route is 9259 km or 5753 miles. The train travels through 7 time zones and takes 8 days to complete without making overnight stops. The Trans-Siberian splits off into a few other fascinating directions as well:

Trans-Mongolian Train

The Trans-Mongolian Line was built from 1940 to 1956 between Ulan-Ude at Lake Baikal’s eastern shore and the Chinese capital Beijing. From Ulan-Ude the tracks go south towards Mongolia, crossing the great Gobi Desert and finally ending up in Beijing. This route is a mere 7867 kilometers long (Moscow - Beijing).

A train on Trans-Siberian in 1916

Trans-Manchurian Train

The Trans-Manchurian Line runs on the same route as the Trans-Siberian as far as Tarskaya, which is a few hundred miles east of Baikal. From Tarskaya, the line runs southeast into China near Zabaikalsk and makes its way down to Beijing. This route is a 9001 kilometres long (Moscow - Beijing).

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

Where does the trans-siberian railway start and where does it end.

The Trans-Siberian Railway starts in Moscow and extends all the way to Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean. This route connects the European part of Russia, the Ural region, Siberia and the Russian Far East.

Are Beijing and Ulan Bator stops along the Trans-Siberian railway?

Beijing and Ulan Bator are parts of Trans-Mongolian railway - an offshoot of the main Trans-Siberian Railway. There are many options to arrange your travel: to visit Ulan Bator and or follow the Trans-Siberian railway to or from Vladivostok. 

Can I use the hop-on hop-off principle when traveling by Trans-Siberian train?

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Train tickets in Russia are not open, so you will need a separate ticket with a particular date for each leg of your trip - for example, you may go all the way from Moscow to Vladivostok, but you will only be able to leave the train for short stops at the railway stations. In case if you would like to explore different cities on the way, you will need separate tickets, for example Moscow – Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg – Irkutsk, Irkutsk - Vladivostok. We offer carefully planned private tours that will allow you to visit several cities on your way.

Are there showers aboard Trans-Siberian trains?

Most of the Trans-Siberian trains do not have showers, and there are two WCs per each carriage. Please consider it while planning your trip. We recommend to choose shorter distances (that is, to plan more overnight stops in the cities along the way) to avoid the inconvenience of not showering. Another option is to choose the trip on board a more luxurious train which has all the on-board amenities that one might need.

Are meals included on the board of Trans-Siberian express train?

When traveling with RZD regular trains meals are not included. You can easily buy your meals in the restaurant car.  Another option is to buy local specialties from “babushkas” (grandmothers, or simply Russian old ladies) on the short train stops along the way. This is a very authentic way of getting your meals.

What is the most comfortable way to travel on the Trans-Siberian railroad?

There are luxurious trains on the Trans-Siberian railway that are quite different from regular RZD trains and can be described as 5* hotels on wheels. We offer this type of accommodation on the Imperial Russia train where you can enjoy a full board menu, a shower and a comfortable compartment.

The Rolling Stones make ‘final’ ‘Hackney Diamonds’ tour decision

B efore the Rolling Stones ‘ two-night stay at MetLife Stadium, they have announced a final North American stop on their “ Hackney Diamonds ” tour. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood are present for the shows.

On May 23, the Stones announced a show at the Thunder Ridge Nature Reserve in Ridgedale, Missouri. The show will take place on July 21, four days after their show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It is being billed as the “final” stop on the tour in North America.

“A brand new show has just been announced for the Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds!” the announcement began. “It will be the final stop on the North American Tour and will see the Stones playing Thunder Ridge Nature Reserve, Missouri, on July 21!”

Tickets for the show go on sale on May 31 at 10 am local time. There will also be presale opportunities to buy tickets.

The Rolling Stones’ 2024 tour

The “Hackney Diamonds” tour is the Rolling Stones’ latest touring venture. Only 20 dates were announced for the tour, and the band will visit major stadiums across North America.

It commenced on April 28, 2024, with a show in Houston, Texas. Among the stops was a show at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 2.

What songs do they play?

While the Rolling Stones’ “Hackney Diamonds” tour is named after their latest album, the setlist is hardly centered around it. They do play some songs from the album, such as “Angry,” “Mess It Up,” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” but they also play their biggest hits.

Fans of the Stones don’t have to worry about not hearing “Gimme Shelter” or “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” during these shows. They know how to appease their fanbase.

What is Hackney Diamonds?

Hackney Diamonds was the first album of new material from the Rolling Stones in nearly two decades. A Bigger Bang was released in 2005. Their latest album was also the first since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.

Of course, Rolling Stones members Jagger, Richards, and Wood all played on the album. Former member of the band, Bill Wyman, also made an appearance on the album.

But the big names didn’t stop there. Lady Gaga, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney also appeared on various tracks on the album.

Who are the Rolling Stones?

The Rolling Stones are one of the most well-known rock bands of all time. They were formed in 1962 and have been together since then.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood currently make up the band. Former members of the band include Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and Mick Taylor.

They are most known for their hit songs such as “Start Me Up,” “Paint It, Black,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” To date, the band has released over 20 studio albums and embarked on countless tours.

At the Grammys, the Rolling Stones have won three awards. They have been nominated for a total of 12 awards throughout their illustrious career. Their most recent win came at the sixtieth Grammys in 2018, winning Best Traditional Blues Album for Blue and Lonesome.
