Historic Adventure Travel Tours was founded in 2009. President and founder John Grabko has spent 40 years within the fields of history, tourism and recreation. He is fulfilling a life-long dream and passion of sharing America's story and past with adventure travelers of all ages by operating unique, fun and amazing motor coach tours out of Rochester, MN.

John retired in 2013 from the Minnesota Historical Society after a decade of preserving and sharing history. While working for the Minnesota Historical Society, he worked as a seasonal state park naturalist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He also worked for the Rochester, MN Convention & Visitors Bureau for 10 years, traveling the world promoting tourism. In addition, he has also worked within the field of community recreation for many years prior. This related experience and passion for the past has brought John, together with his small team of travel experts to guiding you through some of America's most legendary and awe inspiring historic sites on board our unique and exciting motor coach tours!
