Tour Operator Spotlight: AAA South Jersey

loading the bus
Working in tourism is a dream come true. You get to interact with different kinds of people and travel to great locations. Everyone you meet has a story and Tour Operators are no different. They’re the heart and soul behind all the wonderful bus trips you get to go on, which is why we started the “Tour Operator Spotlight” to introduce you to some of the Tour Operators we love working with. Meet Debbie Szafranski from AAA South Jersey. Debbie’s been bringing her groups to do our Pizza Tour, Neighborhood Tour and Christmas Lights Tours for years now. She’s a joy to work with and her groups absolutely love her. So do we!
