It
all started with a trip to the market, in an old station wagon.
In the mid-seventies, Fun Time Travel Company founder, Charlene Groat,
assembled a group of her sorority sisters and guided an excursion
to the Farmer's Market, in
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. She enjoyed the experience of getting
people together and having a lot of fun so much, she made a business
of it! Before
long, as Charlene's friends brought more of their friends along
for these great adventures, she needed a van. By 1980, Charlene
had to move up again, and the first
Fun Bus was born!
While
operations began modestly in Charlene's dining room, business expanded
rapidly. Today, just the sign over Fun Time Travel's Oshawa location
is as large as their original office!
For
many of our clients, Fun Bus is their first travel experience. Not
only do they often develop lasting friendships with their fellow
travelers, our staff is on a first name basis with most of them!
Over the years, our veteran Fun Bus patrons indicated a desire to
branch off into other forms of travel.
To serve their growing needs, Fun Time Travel Company was established
in 1987. Now we can offer you a broad range of travel options -
from day tours and weekend getaways on the Fun Bus, to more exotic
vacations anywhere in the world - all through the Fun Time Travel
Company.
OUR
STAFF

Fun Time Travel Company staff is a group of experienced professionals,
