The love of travel and a maiden trip to Rome in 1977 were instrumental in the development of Pinnacle Travel & Tours. At that time, Gregory W. Kuns, a college student (now managing partner of Pinnacle Travel & Tours), was invited by Father Paul Mueller, Pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Fremont, Ohio, to accompany him on a trip to Rome. Instantly fascinated with the Eternal City and its culture, this was the first of Greg’s 150+ adventures to Rome and other European cities.
This fascination with Europe runs in the Kuns family. Greg’s daughter Madelaine, fluent in Italian, is a graduate of the American University of Rome and resides in Rome, Italy. The Kuns family’s frequent trips to Rome incited the interest of friends and family; often being consulted about arranging trips or accompanying others on their own Roman adventures. Greg’s love of Rome and Europe evolved into a desire and vocation to help others not merely sightseeing, but to “Live the Experience”. Pinnacle Travel & Tours’ highly specialized small group tours achieve just that. ~Ciao
