Pickle Tours
Look — we've all got enough "stuff". But the best money you'll ever spend stays with you in the memories, feelings, sights and sounds of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences you talk about for the rest of your days. Nobody sits around years later reminiscing about a purchase. They talk about the trips, the games, the time spent with like-minded folks doing things that make us truly happy and fulfilled.
We're Trina and Mike Nichols, founders and hosts of pickle.tours and lifelong travelers who just can't get enough of this great big world and all it has to offer — including our favorite sport to play: PICKLEBALL.
Sound like you? Join us for an epic journey, a few dinks, a few drinks, and some friendly competition with 30+ new friends and court buddies.
Adults of all ages and every playing level are welcome, no partner required. You bring your paddle and a healthy dose of wanderlust — we'll handle the rest.
However far the coach goes that morning, a Pickle Tours day always has the same three ingredients.
Courts booked in every region and play on every day of the trip — doubles, blind doubles, singles, and clinics with local club pros. A different draw each morning, so you rotate through the whole group.
The Gateway Arch, the Blue Whale, a neon-lit main street, the Pacific at the end of it. We take the scenic road, not the fast one, and we stop for the things worth stopping for.
Grand old railroad hotels, a lakeside resort, a desert classic. Places with a story you'd happily book for their own sake — not whatever chain sits nearest the highway.
Every Pickle Tours route follows the same recipe — roadside Americana, iconic hotels, landmarks worth the detour, pickleball every day, and thirty-two players who arrive as strangers and leave as friends.
Chicago to (or from) the Santa Monica Pier on the Mother Road. Historic hotels, the Arch, the Blue Whale, the desert and the Pacific — with courts booked every day and a long lakeside resort weekend in the middle.

You want to be on the bus with a paddle in your bag.
You run a club, a resort, a court complex, or a coach fleet.
