Since 1989, we've gone
the extra mile
For more than three decades, Holt Travel & Tours has helped San Diego's backcountry families turn travel dreams into the trips of a lifetime.
A hometown agency with a world of experience
Holt Travel & Tours opened its doors in Alpine in 1989, and we've called the San Diego backcountry home ever since. We're proud to serve Pine Valley, Descanso, Julian, Lakeside, Campo, Boulevard, Ramona and all of San Diego County — and travelers far beyond it.
As a full-service agency, we specialize in cruises, tours, groups, honeymoons and educational travel. We're not a faceless booking site; we're real, local advisors who get to know you, listen to what you're hoping for, and handle every detail so you can simply enjoy the journey.
That personal touch has earned us a loyal following and a reputation we don't take lightly. Whatever it takes to make your trip right, we go the extra mile.
