Durgan Travel Service has been serving the Group Travel Community in the New England area for over 30 years, initially as the "Durgan Group" at Crimson Travel Service in October of 1969. Crimson Travel was New England's largest tour company, and was later bought by Thomas Cook Travel. We maintained our affiliation with Thomas Cook until American Express bought them in 1994. In March of 1995, we spun off our operation from American Express/Thomas Cook and opened our current office in Stoneham, Massachusetts as "Durgan Travel Service".
