HELLO! I am Mike Ross Of MIKE ROSS TRAVELS.  I have been a professional tour guide since 1982 and a secondary and post-secondary educator since 1971.  I've taught in the Jackson Public Schools, at Eastern Michigan University, Jackson Community College and Michigan State University.

In addition, I've studied at the University of Munich and am a published author of foreign language and travel materials. I lecture nationwide on travel, culture, history, and sometimes read my travel stories from MIKE ROSS TRAVELS.  I work with you and then make all arrangements only with the few companies I have worked with, those whom I know and trust.  You can travel as a single or in groups of family and friends.  I am dedicated to giving you the tour you have always dreamed of but may have thought was out of your budget.  Thanks for visiting my site and I hope to hear from you soon.  Mach´s gut, MIKE

The mission of MIKE ROSS TRAVEL is to bring history and culture alive for each traveler through a vibrant and exciting travel experience.  The company specializes in small groups and unique travel experiences.

In 1982, I founded ETCS, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 educational travel organization, parent company of Mike Ross Travels, and began with one tour.  Since then, I have arranged and often personally lead dozens of tours all over the world. I look forward to broadening your horizons and fulfilling all of your overseas travel needs.  MIKE
