Canton Senior Center Bus Trips

The Canton Senior Center provides an array of day trips for those who are looking to explore new towns and sights yet leave the driving to someone else. Luxury coach buses get you to the destination in comfort and a tour guide handles all of the details. Easy, peasy!

While our trips are arranged through the Canton Senior Center, we welcome residents from any town and are happy to accommodate travelers who are 12 years old and up. In most cases, we need at least 10 paid, reserved travelers to arrange for a pick up at the Canton Senior Center. Payments can be made by cash or check, payable to Tours of Distinction and dropped or mailed to the Senior and Social Services Department at 40 Dyer Ave, Canton. Question? Call 860.693.5811.
