Message from the CEO
Exceptional Tours was founded on my belief that everyone including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism — deserves the opportunity to safely explore their community and beyond. Since 1992, I have dedicated my career to helping those we support reach their highest potential by promoting independence, fostering meaningful relationships, and encouraging fulfillment within their communities.  At Exceptional Tours, we strive to transform lives and build a just, compassionate society where every individual is valued — regardless of race, creed, religion, ability, or age. We are deeply committed to ensuring the safety of our participants while empowering them to take reasonable risks that lead to growth, confidence, and the achievement of their dreams.  We proudly uphold the Commonwealth’s vision that all Pennsylvanians live safe, healthy, and independent lives — free from discrimination and inequity — fully integrated into the communities they call home.  Thank you for trusting us to help individuals with special needs safely navigate their community and experience the world around them.  With unwavering unity, Telisha Feamster Founder & CEO, Exceptional Tours
