Meet Anjali

CEO

Anjali in a sense, “grew up” in the travel business, accompanying her father, astronomer Bob Berman, on tours and travels around the world, throughout her childhood. After decades of traveling with family and then independently she wanted to share her passion for traveling, so in 2013 she founded Special Interest Tours.

Meet Hannah

Director of Tours

On the day to day, I handle all of the little behind the scenes details that make a tour successful. You’ll find me answering calls & emails from guests, sending contracts & rooming lists, or maybe Skyping to another continent. I enjoy the challenges of sorting out the details and resolving any guest’s needs before and during a tour.

Meet Bob Berman

We have enjoyed all our trips with Special Interest Tours and would highly recommend any of the train trips to other rail enthusiasts. Very organized and accommodating. We have signed up for more trips with them.
