Who We Are
Richmond Tours, established in 1980, is a family-owned and operated student travel company that was created in New York City by Frank Petruzzi. Frank's wanderlust started when he was hired as a tour escort for a travel agency during college. Even after graduating from college with an accounting degree, he found that travel was his pull and made it his life’s work.
Today, Richmond Tours sends thousands of students a year on tours and has gathered a team of travel specialists with over 60 years of combined experience. In 2018, his oldest son Anthony became an owner and is looking to accelerate the company’s success while expanding the variety of student trips offered.
