Wolf�s Bus Lines Inc. is proud to announce the recent acquisition of Stars and Stripes Tours. Wolf�s, a third-generation, family-run company, has been in business for more than 60 years and is located in York Springs, Pa.
�We are very excited about this merger and look forward to working closely with local businesses to promote and support the Central Pennsylvania area� said Tracy Wolf, owner.
Stars and Stripes Tours has a brand new look and brings some additional features not offered in the past. They still offer the Washington, D.C., tour but also have a selection of other day trips customers can take advantage of. Additionally, Stars and Stripes Tours offers a receptive services department that organizes pre-packaged tour planning.
Stars and Stripes Tours� two most popular tours run from June through October.
The first, a Washington, D.C. day tour that departs every Tuesday and Thursday from many Gettysburg locations, will highlight Washington, D.C.�s most famous attractions. It will include a narrated city riding tour past The White House, Washington Monument, Jefferson and Navy Memorials, The Capitol, Ford�s Theater, more than 30 embassies, National Cathedral and many more national landmarks.
The tour makes stops at the Iwo Jima, World War II, Lincoln, Vietnam and Korean Memorials and allows enough time to stroll through the memorials, take pictures or look a name up on the wall. In the afternoon, there will be three hours of free time at the National Mall and Smithsonian Institute area to visit museums, eat lunch or take a walk to local attractions.
The tour concludes with a delicious evening buffet before returning to Gettysburg. Stars and Stripes Tours is honored to have Suzanne Merkey, former co-owner of Stars and Stripes Tours and a licensed DC Tour Guide, accompany many of these trips. Merkey has more than 20 years of experience and extensive knowledge of Washington, D.C.
The second tour to Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course runs every Wednesday afternoon and leaves from both Gettysburg and Carlisle locations. Enjoy five hours to experience live thoroughbred racing and full-card simulcasting along with 2,000 slot machines. You must be twenty-one years of age or older to attend.
Along with these exciting tours, Stars and Stripes Tours offers pre-packaged tour options and customized tour planning for groups of 10 or more. Whether it�s corporate clients, conferences, reunions, sports teams or any group, Stars and Stripes Tours can book the meals, attractions, theaters, lodging, guides and transportation. They will put together complete packages based on your groups needs. From business to pleasure, their exceptional service provides local and regional arrangements. They will help every step of the way. Their knowledgeable, friendly staff can handle all the arrangements and accommodate special interest, needs or specifications of your group.
�We are pleased to be promoting Gettysburg and Central PA,� said Wolf. �Our objective is to offer first class tours and pre-packaged arrangements for visitors to the area as well as local residents. We understand times are difficult for everyone right now so if we can help local companies by supplying them additional business and keeping the average visitor in the area a little longer and also helping the guest by offering reasonable priced tours and packages, everyone wins.�
