Gardner Tours

Gardner Tours We build private vacations around the world for families, groups, businesses and individuals.

Gardner Tours crafts luxurious, private travel experiences—blending storytelling and authentic hospitality in world-class destinations. Our “bread and butter” is storytelling, as we have found that it's one of the best ways to truly open and connect our travelers to their destination. Perhaps our favorite stories aren’t the historical notes that tug at your heart, but the stories of the people rig

ht in front of our travelers. Those are the ones that are most important to us, the lives that still have yet to be completed. Those are the stories that, via trusted relationships, make the most fond memories! Aside from the most personal and creative storytelling, we also guarantee the highest quality accommodations, transportation, and culinary delights (Colby is a “foodie”). We would never give our travelers anything that is second-rate, but only the absolute best!

Old Havana has a way of asking questions you didn’t plan on answering.

A painted barbershop.
A passing thought.
And the beauty of choosing curiosity over schedules.

This is how we travel — slow, personal, and rooted in real moments.

Introducing our Texas Wine Country Weekend 🍷 (Target Release Date: January 1)

Texas is more than a place on the map—it’s a way of welcoming people.

Last weekend, we gathered a small group to experience Texas Wine Country the way we do as locals: slow mornings, unforgettable meals, sunset wines, historic streets, and plenty of laughter along the way.

From legendary Texas barbecue and handcrafted cowboy boots, to vineyards tucked into the Hill Country and evenings spent under wide open skies, this weekend reminded us why travelers come looking for something deeper than sightseeing.

Because of experiences like this, we’re excited to officially release our Texas Wine Country Weekend—a privately hosted journey led by Texans who know these roads, these people, and these stories.

This isn’t a packaged bus tour.�It’s Texas, shared personally.

We’d love to welcome you.

One of ’ Favorite Things in Cuba 🇨🇺❤️

There’s something special about the simple moments in Cuba — like this horse and buggy rolling down a quiet rural street, a couple smiling and waving as they pass by and their bright red umbrella lights up the scene.

It’s everyday life… and it’s one of our favorite things here.

Experience Cuba with authentic storytelling, hospitality, and personal connection.

Umberto’s $3 Cocktail Story 😂🇨🇺

Travel gives you stories you’ll tell forever — and today’s comes from our dear friend Umberto in Cuba.

When he first started working in tourism as a bartender, he didn’t speak any English. So he used hand gestures to show visitors the ingredients in their cocktails… and then used his missing half-finger to turn it into the best punchline.

It’s funny, it’s human, and it’s exactly the kind of connection that makes Cuba unforgettable. These are the people we travel for — and the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.

Travel meaningfully. Connect deeply.

One of our favorite “people of interest” here at home in Texas is Tuffy Loftin, and we make sure our travelers spend as much time with him (and people like him) as possible.

A lifelong cowboy and rancher, Tuffy is the kind of person who makes you feel seen the moment he hugs your neck. He loves his family, he’s deeply rooted in our community, and he carries a lifetime of stories he’s always eager to share.

That’s exactly why we love introducing our travelers to him. Connecting with locals like Tuffy is what makes our tours truly memorable — it’s these real people, real experiences, and real conversations that stay with you long after your time with us ends.

Not long ago was our very first time officially hosting a traveler in Cowboy Country, and watching her light up with every moment was unforgettable. By the time she stepped off the horse, she was already talking about looking for property out here. That’s what this place does — it gets in your soul and makes you want to join in. 🤠✨

It’s always fun, meaningful, and uniquely Texas with Tuffy.

And this is only the beginning.

Who is Gardner Tours?

Gardner Tours is a hospitality company that just so happens to be in tourism, giving travelers unforgettable, high quality experiences in incredible destinations via storytelling and our personal touch of hospitality.

Where It All Began...

Colby Gardner, owner and guide, grew up on a farm in Texas where his family settled over 200 years ago. Loving his culture and the stories of those that make it vibrant, he learned to cherish each person and their stories as an integral part of that culture. Years later, as he traveled the globe, he carried those values with him, and as he encountered new cultures and built new relationships, he began to put all of their stories together. Eventually, knowledge of his experience and deeply rooted relationships spread. After sending numerous friends and family on private vacations to the people and places he connected with the most, someone suggested, “With all of that experience, you should start your own travel company!”

As a hospitality company built on family values, we guarantee to serve you wholeheartedly, and will take care of you like family along the way.
