History
YMT Vacations was founded in Detroit in 1967 as a travel company specializing in tours primarily to Hawaii. This was shortly after the advent of long-range commercial jet aircraft, when tourism to Hawaii was in its infancy. A number of tour companies were founded, at approximately the same time, which offered various services to travelers to the islands.
However, since 1967, YMT has established itself as a leader in affordable travel and personal service. It took the name “Your Man Tours” to designate the personal service that their passengers would receive when they arrived in Hawaii. Upon arrival “their Man” was there to greet them and show them Hawaii as only a native-born Hawaiian islander could.
In July 2006, YMT was purchased by First Choice Holidays, PLC. Shortly after, in March 2007, First Choice Holidays merged with TUI Tourism to become TUI Travel, PLC, one of the largest travel groups in the world. More than four decades later and having served over 1.5 million customers, YMT's experience and its low prices help attract a loyal following—more than half its customers are repeat visitors. YMT Vacations continues to provide affordable tours that incorporate the same personal service used in Hawaii!
Popular Destinations
One of YMT’s most popular vacation packages offers a two-week, four-island Hawaii tour that starts in Honolulu and ends with four days on the Big Island's Kona Coast. Highlights include Pearl Harbor, Kauai's Fern Grotto, the whaling village of Lahaina on Maui, and the Big Island's Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Optional tours are available on leisure days on Oahu (Waikiki Beach) and the Big Island.
Another popular tour is "Alaska and the Great Northwest", which combines a seven-day Alaska cruise aboard a Holland America ship with an eight-day coach tour of national parks and other attractions in the West. One of the most recent additions to YMT’s list of tours features a spiritual journey to Europe to see the decennial Oberammergau Passion Play along with a 11-day sightseeing tour of Germany, Austria, and Italy. There is also a European Catholic Pilgrimage Tour through Italy, Spain, Portugal and France featuring 9 private Masses.
