Travel House of America and N.A.R.(UK) Ltd

NAR (UK) was established in 1981. It was founded by Peter Mackness, formerly Managing Director for Continental Trailways Bus, pioneers of the first major travel programmes from Europe to the USA in the early seventies. NAR has established itself as a leader in providing travel product for the USA and Canada to travel operators worldwide.

In the early 80’s they called it independent travel, then tailor made travel and today it is dubbed “dynamic packaging”, but no matter what the name, NAR has been at the forefront in presenting new and innovative travel arrangements for North America for more than a quarter of a century.

In the late eighties, NAR opened offices for Virgin Holidays in Orlando and New York , a testimony to our travel experience and proof that even the largest of companies needs expert advice to help establish themselves. The NAR office in Florida remains today, operating as Travel House of America.

From hotel accommodation throughout the USA and Canada (see our sister site www.travelhouseofcanada.com) to villas and homes in Florida, from attraction tickets, theatre tickets and theme dinners to airport transfers by private sedan, limousine or shuttle bus, from car and motorhome hire to Harley Davidson motorbike rentals, from sightseeing tours by boat, plane or bus, to multi-day escorted tours by bus or train, from ranch stays to adventure tours, from skiing to golf, from wedding arrangements to private functions, the list goes on and on. With each service there comes an unrivalled expertise from our highly skilled, travel professionals who are based in the United States. NAR is the only UK tour operator to have a reservations office in the United States, an added bonus for customers who require assistance locally or who need additional travel advice.

Group travel remains popular to North America today. With my own experience of bus transportation and group packaging from my 10 years at Trailways Bus, combined with that of our knowledgeable US and Canadian staff, I feel that NAR continues to be the leading specialist in organizing group travel to North America

When I first discovered the USA in 1971, I was overwhelmed by the enormity of the country, by its rich landscape and its wonderful cities. I have now spent 35 years learning about this great country and continue to do so. Whilst I still continue to learn about and develop new products and programmes, I invite travel operators worldwide to contact NAR and discover America with us. After all, NAR…Brings America closer…!
