About

Parallel Tours stands apart from other travel companies because the owners,
Franky and Michelle Garcia endeavor to create an intimate travel experience that
appeals to both seasoned and novice travelers. Parallel’s vision is to offer tours
that appeal to those from different walks of life. Franky’s experience enables him
to understand the challenges of international group travel. He is fluent in three
languages, English, Spanish, and Italian, and has operated tours throughout
Europe, Africa, North, and South America, and Asia.

Franky’s winsome personality enables him to create long-lasting relationships with
partners worldwide. When not organizing tours, Franky creates gourmet Italian
meals (with freshly made pasta) for clients in their homes. In his extra time, he is
the father to four incredible girls and plays the bagpipes with the North Texas
Caledonian Pipes and Drums ensemble.

Franky’s passion for group travel is to customize fun and interesting tours to his
favorite spots in the world’s most famous cities. Each itinerary promises to appeal
to the traveler’s senses. Keeping the group numbers low enables him to make
authentic connections with travelers.

Parallel Tours and Travel is big enough to cover the world, and small enough to be
committed to our clients. We hope to see you on one of our tours very soon!
