Upcoming Tours

Gary Block Tours became a reality because of friends. Gary ended his 34 year broadcasting career in 2005 where part of his radio responsibilities was organizing and hosting trips for the listeners. Days and weeks following Gary’s retirement from radio, those loyal listeners sent letters, made phone calls and visited Gary's home wanting Gary to continue the motor coach tours. As a result, Gary Block Tours was created. Motor coach tours range from one day outings at unique destinations, overnight getaways and extended vacations. Gary and his wife Laura host the trips and provide a down-home touch with tons of fun. The professionalism of Gary Block Tours is topped off with quality transportation partners. We now own our own motor coach company, North Star Coaches, and are very proud of these coaches. Fun and friendship is what you’ll experience when you travel with Gary Block Tours.
