We are a travel company,
located in downtown San Rafael, only a few minutes north of
San Francisco. The Agency is one of the oldest established
travel companies in California.
The history of our company started in 1977, when Laker Airways, a
British based airline, started service from London to New York. They called their
airplanes 'Skytrains'. Due to traffic restrictions, Laker initially received approval to
fly only to New York. Therefore, they began a charter program. One of the top destinations
from London became San Francisco. The charter operation was called 'Skytours'.
In 1981, Laker Airways folded and 'Skytours' became one of the
largest seller of discounted airline tickets in California.
After 19 years of operating from downtown San Francisco, the
office moved to San Rafael.
Redwood Travel established in 1941, one of the best known and
well-respected agencies in the area was acquired and became part of the Skytours group in
1999.
In 2000, Elly Stahl travel services of Corte Madera, CA was also
acquired by the group.
Our philosophy is to provide the services and products you want at
the best possible price.
