Some trips stay with you long after the wheels stop rolling. The laughter around a campfire, a sunset shared with new friends, the rush of seeing something you never thought you’d witness in person – those moments are why people travel.
Our Ambassadors know that feeling better than anyone. They’re seasoned RVers who have spent countless miles guiding guests, troubleshooting surprises, and watching strangers become lifelong friends. So Fantasy RV Tours asked them a simple question:
Which Fantasy RV Tours experience would you recommend to someone looking for something special in 2026?
The result isn’t a top-10 list or a ranking.
It’s a collection of tours that stir emotion, spark curiosity, and remind us why guided travel matters.
These are their picks – told in their own words.

There’s a certain magic in places where opposites meet: desert sand against saltwater breeze; bright markets beside quiet stretches of shoreline; evening campfires humming with stories from people who were strangers just days before.
For Willie and Tammy Nelson, that place is Puerto Peñasco, home of our Ultimate Beach Getaway. It wasn’t just memorable – it turned into a tradition.
“Our first Ultimate Beach Getaway in Puerto Peñasco was in 2020… and we’ve gone back every year since! The beach, the food, the shopping, the people, the culture… everything keeps us returning year after year.
It really has something for everyone. It’s an easy drive to enjoy a week on the beach collecting seashells and sea glass, and watching those beautiful sunsets. This tour is a must-do for anyone wanting to experience Mexico.”
If you’ve ever wondered whether Mexico feels accessible by RV – this is the perfect first step. It’s fun, it’s social, it’s warm-hearted, and it’s one of the easiest ways to trade your normal view for tide pools and turquoise water.

Some destinations reset your internal map. Suddenly, you’re not just traveling – you’re living inside a story you’ll replay for the rest of your life.
Nick and Kay Flint know this feeling well. Their top pick isn’t just big – it’s bold: the South Africa RV Safari. And their testimonial? It reads like a dream you never knew could be real.
“Can you picture yourself dancing with a Zulu warrior to the beat of an African drum under the warm African sky? Have you ever imagined feeding an elephant from the palm of your hand, or sitting in your RV watching a herd of cape buffalo gather at a watering hole?
Have you ever dreamed of touching a lion cub?
Would you like to camp on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean, hearing the waves crash on the rocks below while you scan the sky for the Southern Cross? Or feel the mist from mighty Victoria Falls on your face?
You can experience these – and many more life-changing moments – on Fantasy RV Tours’ South Africa RV Safari.”
Safari travel is often imagined as a bucket-list splurge. But doing it by RV – side-by-side with new friends, led by people who know the culture and terrain – brings you closer in the most unexpected ways.
If you’ve been thinking “one day,” this might be the year you say yes.

The Mississippi isn’t just a river. It’s a thread woven through American history: music, literature, industry, civil rights, and community. Every bend starts another chapter.
That’s why Harry and Linda love this journey. It’s not just about the drive – it’s about the way the past and present sit side by side.
“We share our guests’ excitement as they walk across the headwaters in northern Minnesota, the beginning of the Mississippi River. Together, we meander down the Great River Road, following the river’s path.
We travel in and out of river towns, learning the history and importance of the Mighty Mississippi along the way – from how it won and lost wars, to the homes of famous Americans like Mark Twain. We experience the music of Memphis, ride the lock system, and learn how it controls flooding and enables transportation. A river that truly built this country.
And, of course, we enjoy the local cuisine and take in the natural beauty along the way. To top it off, while exploring New Orleans, we hop on a seaplane to see firsthand what the Mississippi looks like as it empties into the Gulf. One river, ten states.”
It’s the kind of trip that gives you context. A panoramic view of what shaped a nation – and how one river carries stories stretching from northern forests to the Gulf Coast.

Imagine a coastline made of rugged cliffs, lighthouses perched on rocky points, seafood so fresh it tastes like the ocean air, and towns where people greet you like neighbors.
That’s the Eastern Canada experience – and Leo and Linda say it never gets old.
“This tour is nothing short of amazing! The scenery, countryside, and rugged shores of Eastern Canada are absolutely breathtaking. Every town welcomes you with friendly, inviting people who make you feel right at home.
It’s so much fun watching whales breach, spotting puffins up close, and exploring by boat, train, bus, and trolley. Evenings are filled with laughter and songs around the campfire – the kind of moments you wish you could bottle up forever.
But the best part? The lifelong bonds and friendships formed along the way.”
If you love scenic drives with stories tucked into every bay, this might be your style. It’s the kind of trip where natural beauty will be only half of what you remember.

Some tours have a rhythm – mountains to valleys, vineyards to ocean swells. Canada Land & Sea is one of those journeys.
Andrew and George say it surprised even them.
“The Canada Land & Sea caravan quickly became one of our favorites. We originally thought the trip was all about the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, but the surprises continued as we entered the Kelowna Valley and the top of the Okanagan Desert – filled with wonderful fruits, vegetables, and wineries.
Ending on beautiful Vancouver Island with High Tea at Butchart Gardens and unforgettable whale watching creates the perfect finish.
You truly begin in the LAND of the Rockies and end surrounded by the SEA, making this a must-do journey.”
When a tour keeps unfolding layers – mountain passes, glaciers, orchards, wineries, ferries, gardens – it becomes the kind of trip that gives you a full arc rather than a highlight reel.

Some experiences feel bigger than life. The Calgary Stampede is one of them.
“The Calgary Stampede Rally is such an exciting experience, filled with world-class rodeo action, barrel races, and relays, all enjoyed from our amazing reserved seats with unbeatable views.
We love the balance of planned events and the freedom to explore everything the Stampede offers at our own pace. Camping just minutes from the Stampede grounds, on the historic site of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, allowed us to rest and recharge between events.
The added excursions Fantasy arranges make this rally perfect for both avid rodeo fans and anyone who wants to experience the very best of the Stampede.”
Between the adrenaline of the arena and the easy camaraderie of the campground, this rally creates memories fast. It’s loud, colorful, patriotic, and wildly fun.
So… Ready to Start Your Own Story?
Talking with our Ambassadors is a reminder: guided RV travel isn’t about logistics – it’s about experiences you might never find on your own.
Whether it’s collecting sea glass in Baja, tracing the arc of a river that shaped a nation, touching the spray of Victoria Falls, or spotting your first puffin over a windswept bay – one moment can change the whole trip.
And the best part?
You’re not alone. You’re traveling with people who love the road, love the culture of RVing, and love helping others see the world with fresh eyes.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right” adventure, one of these might be calling your name.
