Atlantic Group Tours was founded in 1989 by John Cox. John was inspired by his father, Jim, and his uncle Johnny, who led successful dance bands and fulfilled several leadership roles in Ireland’s Galway community. John’s admiration for music and education melded perfectly with his love for travel.
