Grayline is the largest operator of sightseeing tours in the world. Formed some 90 years ago, the company runs tours and excursions in more than 150 destinations across the globe. It’s most popular tours are in Sydney, Morocco, London, Paris, Egypt, Mexico City, and Hong Kong. Famous U.S. cities include San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Hawaii.

The company has a policy to accommodate all travelers, including independent tourists, groups, and corporate trips. It also runs the most reliable and on-time airport transfer service (McCarran International) in Vegas.

The Gray Line tour company was started in 1910 by a young restaurateur named Louis Bush, who refurbished a Mack Truck chassis, painted it the company’s signature blue and gray colors, and began offering sightseeing tours of Washington, D.C.

The company was an instant smash with travelers. By 1926, Gray Line had grown into other key sightseeing markets, including New York, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The first international offerings appeared on the scene, too, and included Toronto and Havana, Cuba.

Immediately following World War II, Harry J Dooley, a former employee, who helped re-establish the concern’s sightseeing offering in Chicago, acquired Grayline. His success in the Windy City led him to taking the corporate helm as president, a move that solidified his reputation as the “father” of the sightseeing industry.

The increasing popularity of jet travel in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s opened up new travel destinations. Gray Line set up operations in these new locales as well, including Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The tour
