About us

We offer a personal touch

AT HEARTLAND TRAVEL

At Heartland Travel, we think of ourselves as more than travel agents – we’re travel consultants. Our profession and passion is finding the trip that is the right fit for you. Whether it’s down the road or across the globe, business or pleasure, whale-watching on an Alaskan cruise or climbing the pyramids of Chichen Itza. It’s all about the personal touch.
We are also here to answer ALL of your questions. What’s the best way to see the pyramids? How soon do I need to get my passport? Are there advantages or disadvantages to visiting certain locations this time of year? Give us a call, and we’d be happy to assist. Vacation planning should be fun and easy. Our goal is to save you time, money and stress by doing all of the heavy lifting for you!
