Local, Family-Owned & Operated 

While we offer all the benefits and savings as our 

large competitors, we are a family-owned, local 

business catering primarily to travelers in Southern 

California. Because your traveling companions 

and tour directors are from your general 

area, you’ll often travel with people you’ve met 

before on our tours and enjoy a greater sense of 

camaraderie. This especially makes for an ideal 

environment for single travelers who quickly 

make new friends. 

What We’re Doing to Protect You 

•Increased air filtration (MERV 13 filters) and 

cleaning onboard the motorcoach. 

•Hand sanitization available each time you 

board the motorcoach. Please sanitize often 

and wash your hands whenever possible. 

•Tour directors trained to deny boarding of any 

guests that show symptoms of being sick and 

the expulsion of any guests that appear ill 

while on tour. Expelled guests are responsible 

for arranging transportation back to their 

vehicle at their own expense and no refund/ 

credit will be available for any unused portions 

of the tour. As always, your tour director is 

there to remove many of the “touch points” 

involved in travel including the hotel check-in 

and expedited entry into restaurants, museums 

and attractions. 

Renowned Expertise 

Each Good Times Travel tour evolves over more 

than a year of research by our tour designers to 

ensure your vacation surpasses all your expectations, 

and our professional and knowledgeable 

tour directors are dedicated to ensuring an educational, 

fun and safe journey. They will not only 

share the history or facts of an area, but are there 

to suggest restaurants and aid in any way necessary. 

The local guides that join your group are 

hired by us to ensure special “insider” experiences 

that only a local would be aware of. 

Attention Group Leaders 

Have a group of 25+ friends/family interested in an exclusive tour? Want to reserve space with no 

minimum on an existing scheduled departure? We can help! 

Good Times Travel specializes in customizing and coordinating tours for groups, departing on any date 

and from any location! With more than 500 single-day and 100 multi-day tour ideas for you to choose 

from, we can use an existing itinerary or we can create a unique tour to fit your group’s particular needs 

or interests! 

Take advantage of our purchasing power for motorcoaches, hotels, restaurants and attractions. Years of 

experience and expertise is on your side, and we can make the job of arranging a group tour or cruise 

Contact our tour planners to see how we can assist your group!

2 |Journey with Good Times Travel 

What We Ask of You 

•Take personal responsibility for your own 

health and well-being and consider the wellbeing 

of other guests onboard by not traveling 

when ill. Please don’t board the motorcoach 

if you’ve had a fever, had chills, a cough, sore 

throat, difficulty breathing, loss of taste/smell 

or other symptoms of COVID-19 or the flu 

(or tested positive for any illness or been diagnosed) 

during the 7 days prior to departure. 

•Should you develop any symptoms while on 

tour, notify the tour director immediately. 

•Follow all protocols to reduce the spread of 

illness, as well as those established by any 

and all governmental agencies/businesses with 

jurisdiction over the area(s) we will visit. Our 

established measures may change and your 

tour director will provide the most up-to-date 

information. 

Peace of Mind Travel 

Before, during and after your journey, we will go 

above and beyond your expectations to ensure 

your vacation is spectacular. From making 

arrangements to extend your stay at your beginning 

or final city, forwarding on special requests 

to hotels and airlines, providing final documents 

and details with you prior to your tour, 

hotel check-in, luggage handling, or emergency 

assistance while traveling with us – everyone at 

Good Times Travel will work to ensure you are 

impressed beyond your expectations. 

Health and Wellness 

To ensure a healthy and enjoyable experience for all guests, our tours are operating with additional health and wellness measures in place. These 

measures include but are not limited to the following: 

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself 

•Wear a face mask while onboard the motorcoach, 

airplanes, trains and in other indoor 

places where there are a number of people 

in close confines. Face masks, especially N95 

masks – in addition to vaccination – provide 

the best protection against COVID-19, the flu, 

colds and other airborne illnesses. Guests 

should travel with a face mask as specific 

municipalities and businesses may require 

them for entry. 

•Purchase travel protection – a small investment 

not only protects your funds, but provides 

countless benefits and peace of mind since 

travel protection can provide a refund for 

specific reasons including illness.

MULTI-DAY TOURS 

Experience the best of North America on these in-depth and inclusive tours that are 5-8 days in length. 

Each itinerary features centrally-located hotels, authentic dining experiences, knowledgeable 

local guides, and both the “must see attractions” as well as the “off-the-beaten-path experiences” 

that we’re known for – culminating in a tour you’ll never forget!

holdings of contemporary art worldwide and includes 

pieces by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein

San Diego Train & Tea 

Coastal Train Ride & Old Town San Diego 

With Optional Victorian-Style Tea Lunch at 

Coral Tree Tea House 

Saturday, May 18, 2024 WAITLISTED 

On this fun and historic rail adventure, we’ll 

motorcoach south to San Diego’s Old Town, 

this city’s oldest neighborhood and its original 

“downtown.” If you choose not to add-on the 

optional Victorian-style tea lunch, you’ll have 

approximately five hours at leisure to explore and 

enjoy lunch on your own in Old Town. Still the 

historic heart of the city, Old Town San Diego 

features several acres of Mexican heritage and 

so much to experience. Known for its authentic 

Mexican cuisine, Old Town’s dining is lively, 

vibrant and diverse. Whether it’s upscale dining 

or a charming café, the dining here features traditional 

flavors and techniques using indigenous 

Mexican ingredients. Shopping in Old Town reflects 

the history of the 1800s and captures the 

essence of San Diego’s colorful past. A diverse 

selection of more than 75 stores can be found 

here – featuring those selling everything from 

candy to candles. Old Town Market Place, an 

open-air courtyard, is home to a variety of carts 

and shops that sell handcrafted trinkets, clothing 

and accessories traditional to the Mexican culture. 

Bazaar del Mundo (translated as “marketplace 

of the world”) is a San Diego shopping and 

dining institution popular for food, folklore and 

fun. In Old Town State Historic Park, you can 

wander through lush gardens and plazas, listen to 

strolling mariachis, watch folklorico dancers and 

witness the living legacy of California’s birthplace 

at museums and historic sites. The Park’s many 

preserved historic buildings and museums commemorate 

the early days of San Diego from the 

period 1820 to 1870, allowing you to experience 

California’s early history first-hand. This afternoon 

we’ll board Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner train 

and enjoy Business Class seating as we travel 

north enjoying the spectacular ocean views along 

this protected stretch of coastline. In San Juan 

Capistrano, we’ll reboard our motorcoach. Each 

guest should bring a driver’s license or other government-issued 

photo identification to show Amtrak on 

the day of the tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, 

should the train be cancelled or severely 

delayed, we will instead motorcoach home and each 

guest will be refunded for the train portion. 

Optional Tea Lunch at Coral Tree Tea House 

Take advantage of an optional included delicious

With Step-On Guide Curt 

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 

This new “decadently” designed tour not only 

features San Diego’s most historic and picturesque 

sites, but numerous “pie” tasting experiences. 

Professional step-on guide, Curt – a history 

buff and true foodie known for his creative 


Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre 

Chicken Pot Pie 

and memorable food adventures – leads the way 

on this deep dive into San Diego history and the 

local “pie” scene. After a scenic drive down the 

coast, we’ll enjoy an included early lunch (approximately 

11:00 a.m.) with choice of entrée 

(chicken pot pie, vegetable pot pie or crispy 

chicken salad) at the legendary San Diego Chicken 

Pie Shop in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood. 

This local institution that opened in 

1938 has used the same homestyle recipe for its 

famous chicken pot pies ever since. Stuffed with 

chicken, turkey, and smothered in savory gravy, 

the pot pie comes with whipped potatoes, a side 

of vegetables, cole slaw and a pie shop roll. We’ll 

continue to Balboa Park, the sprawling urban 

oasis adorned with lush gardens and stunning 

Spanish Revival architecture. Here, we’ll learn 

about the park’s history, intricate landscaping, 

amusing anecdotes and little-known facts while 

taking in eyefuls of gorgeous scenery. We’ll explore 

Liberty Public Market at historic Liberty 

Station and learn how a former naval base was 

transformed into this bustling marketplace. At 

Cabrillo National Monument we’ll indulge in a 

gourmet sweet treat from a local pie shop while 

savoring the panoramic views of San Diego Bay, 

Coronado and the Pacific Ocean. Located at 

the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula, 

this monument commemorates the landing of 

Portuguese explorer, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo 

at San Diego Bay in 1542. At the San Diego 

waterfront, we’ll stroll along the Greatest Generation 

Walk to admire several Navy-themed art 

installations. Undoubtedly, the largest and most 

colorful of the memorials is “Embracing Peace,” 

a 25-foot-tall, 6,000-pound statue that stands 

against the imposing backdrop of the USS Midway 

aircraft carrier. It features a Navy sailor kissing 

a nurse – designed after the famous photo 

taken in Times Square on V-J Day. We’ll also see 

the National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military, 

16 larger-than-life bronze figures that represent 

a typical road show with Bob entertaining 

troops near the front. In the Gaslamp Quarter, 

we’ll encounter Victorian-era architecture blended 

seamlessly with modern-day allure, labyrinthine 

streets, hidden gems and perhaps even a 

ghost story or two. Here we’ll enjoy an ice cream 

treat from a shop that features a mouthwatering 

array of pie-inspired flavors like banana cream, 

key lime, and coconut cream. It’s the perfect way 

to cap off a day filled with culinary delights and 

awe-inspiring sights, ensuring memories that will 

endure long after the last bite has been savored.

ranches, vineyards, olive trees, Scrub oak, and 

early California-style architecture. Enjoy an included 

boxed lunch, as well as an opportunity 

to pick your own blueberries (for an additional

in-between rolling hills of majestic oak trees. 

Recognized as one of the best u-pick farms in

berries, stone fruit and jams. This afternoon

learn how the lavender is grown, harvested and 

distilled into an oil known for its culinary and 

healing qualities, with an opportunity to pick 

your own bundle of lavender (for an additional 

fee on-site). The lavender shop here sells a variety 

of lavender products including essential oils, 

lotions, soaps, sachets, and more. Later, we’ll 

arrive in Los Olivos, the charming and historic 

town tucked into the picturesque Santa Ynez 

Valley. At a family-owned tasting room in town 

we’ll enjoy an included wine tasting paired with 

wine-infused cupcakes! Featuring a 1940s feel 

(you can imagine Jimmy Stewart enjoying a 

vintage), the winery parlays humor and family 

tradition into their wines with loving names like 

“Father”, “Son”, “Mother” and “1945” (when 

their grandparents married). Your “flight” of 6 

miniature cupcakes – all prepared on the premises 

– will include three vanilla-based cupcakes 

and three chocolate-based cupcakes with flavors 

such as Cherry Vanilla Merlot, Blueberry Lemon 

Chardonnay and Chocolate Blackberry Syrah

(chocolate cake infused with Syrah, filled with 

dark chocolate Belgium fudge and topped with 

blackberry frosting and a wine-soaked blackberry 

rolled in sugar crystals). Regardless of the flavors 

featured, they’re sure to pair well with the flight 

of 6 wines (white and red) paired with them. 

While this is the time of year that lavender is generally 

in bloom and blueberries are ready for picking, 

the duration and intensity of lavender blooms and 

blueberry ripeness varies from year to year and are 

never guaranteed. This tour involves moderate walking 

over uneven terrain. Price: $159 Depart: FV

In Walt’s Footsteps 

Special Sites from Walt Disney’s Life 

With Included Lunch at Tam O’Shanter Inn 

Sunday, September 15, 2024 

On this fun and nostalgic journey, we’ll visit 

sites that had significant importance in the life 

of Walt Disney, a beloved man among children 

and adults alike. During his lifetime, he became 

an entertainment magnate and film pioneer and 

has been honored with 32 Academy Awards for 

his extraordinary achievements in film – more 

than any other person! We begin with a visit to 

the Stanley Ranch Museum, home to some of the 

oldest homes and businesses in Orange County. 

Amongst several fascinating buildings, dating 

back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, is Walt 

Disney’s first studio, a garage that was relocated 

here from its original site in North Hollywood 

after it was saved from demolition by The Friends 

of Walt Disney. “Uncle Robert’s Garage” was 

used by Walt as his first animation studio after he 

came to California in 1923, and it was in this garage 

that he created his first animated short film! 

We continue to Glendale where we’ll enjoy an included, 

three-course lunch with choice of entrée 

at the historic Tam O’Shanter Inn, the charming 

replica of a cozy Scottish Inn that is located just a 

few miles from Disney Studios in Burbank. Walt 

Disney ate here so often that it was commonly 

referred to as the “studio commissary.” This afternoon 

we’ll visit Walt Disney’s Carolwood Barn, 

a living showcase of Walt’s passion for railroading 

that is only open one day per month! In 

1950, Walt built a railroad in the backyard of his 

house in Holmby Hills and named the railroad 

for the street where he lived, Carolwood Drive. 

The 2,615 feet of track included a 46-foot-long 

trestle and a 90-foot-long tunnel under his wife’s 

flower bed. In addition to the railroad, he had 

a barn built that served as a workshop, a place 

for Walt and his friends to relax from where he 

could monitor and remotely control the switches 

on the track. Before the Holmby Hills home was 

sold, Walt’s daughter had the barn dismantled 

and donated it to Griffith Park to be shared with 

everyone who loved him. The Barn is located inside 

a 1/8th scale track, the same scale that Walt 

had at his home, and is filled with trains of all 

scales. A journey through Disney’s life wouldn’t 

be complete without a visit to his final resting 

place, at the beautiful Forest Lawn Memorial 

Park in Glendale. Marvel at fun “Disney” stories 

and anecdotes during this nostalgic and celebritythemed 

adventure that is led by our tour director, 

Jasmin, a former actress and Old Hollywood aficionado, 

who also leads our tribute tours to Judy 

Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball and Frank 

Sinatra. Price: $169 Depart: LHS 8:00 a.m.,

Santa Barbara Harbor where we’ll board a large 

catamaran for a two-hour narrated sightseeing 

cruise along the Santa Barbara coastline in search 

of sea lions, dolphins, birds and other wildlife.

policy (which includes cancellation insurance) through a third party is available and it’s highly recommended that you 

purchase this at the same time you make your initial tour payment. Those who have purchased travel protection and must 

cancel for a covered reason, will be reimbursed by the travel protection company the balance of any non-refunded funds 

(minus the travel protection premium). Visit our website or ask for a travel protection brochure for details. 

Regardless of the reason, cancellations, credits, and transfers of confirmed bookings result in a costly process of e-mails, 

letters, phone calls, adjustments, refunds, and penalties/fees assessed by our travel suppliers. Therefore, the below cancellation 

policies and fees are in place. Note that the below fees are per person and apply if you choose NOT to purchase travel 

protection or if you cancel for a non-covered reason. 

Single-Day Tour Cancellations 

-If you cancel 30 or more days prior to the departure date, you may receive a credit minus a $10 p.p. administrative 

fee* or a refund minus a $25 p.p. administrative fee.* 

-If you cancel within 30 days of departure, you may receive a credit (minus $10 p.p.*) or a refund (minus $25 p.p.*) 

ONLY if your space can be resold from a waitlist. 

*In addition to the administrative fee, all non-recoverable or non-transferable fees made to our suppliers on your behalf 

(for tickets, etc.) will be retained. 

-Refund provisions vary from tour to tour and there are exceptions to the above policy and some tours (including those 

tours involving theatre tickets or high-security access) may have different or additional restrictions. 

-Please allow 4 weeks after the tour has departed to receive a single-day tour refund. 

Multi-Day Tour Cancellations 

-If you cancel prior to our established balance payment deadline (generally 60-90 days depending on the tour) you may 

receive a credit minus a $50 p.p. administrative fee* or a refund minus a $75 p.p. administrative fee*. 

-If you cancel after our established balance payment deadline (generally 60-90 days depending on the tour) you may 

receive a credit (minus $75 p.p.*) or a refund (minus $125 p.p.*). 





*In addition to the administrative fee, all non-recoverable or non-transferable fees made to our suppliers on your behalf 

(for airfare, tickets, lodging, services, etc.) will be retained. 

-Refund provisions vary from tour to tour and there are exceptions to the above policy and some tours (including 

international tours and national park tours) may have different or additional restrictions. 

-Reservations made after our established balance payment deadline has passed must be paid in full at the time the 

reservation is made. 

-Please allow 4-8 weeks after the tour has departed to receive a multi-day tour refund. 

Additional Notes About Cancellations 

-Credit does not expire and may be left on your account for future use or immediately transferred to another tour. 

-No credits or refunds are available for failure to board the motorcoach on the day of departure – regardless of the reason. 

-No credits or refunds are available for unused tours, admissions, transfers, or accommodations when voluntarily 

cancelled or omitted by the passenger, or for missed package features due to airline or other third-party-transportation 

providers’ delays or for other acts beyond our control. 

-All cancellation policies and fees for any tour within this catalog are in effect as of the publication date and supersede 

any other previously printed policies. 

Cruise Cancellation Policy 

Refer to the cruise company’s documentation as each company’s policy differs. 

Revision Fees 

A handling fee of $25 per person may be charged for any alterations or revisions to multi-day tour bookings. Spelling 

corrections to clients’ names after air tickets have been issued will be subject to airline revision fees. 

Price Changes 

Good Times Travel reserves the right to adjust prices at any time. Tour and cruise prices are based on costs, charges, tariffs, 

rates, prices, taxes, levies and exchange rates as of May, 2024. Should any of these prices change, Good Times Travel reserves 

the right to recover these from you. 

Included in Package Price 

See each specific package description for inclusions. Generally all tour prices include the services of a tour director for the 

duration of the tour, services of the driver, all sightseeing, land transportation, luggage handling of one piece of luggage, 

and the following if applicable and specified in the package description: hotel accommodations, roundtrip airport-hotel 

transfers (with the purchase of group airfare), local guides, meals, admissions, and tips for bellmen and meals included in 

the itinerary. Cruise Host services are dependent on the number of participants. 

Not Included in Package Price 

Airfare (if applicable and unless otherwise noted), air-related taxes and baggage fees, travel protection/cancellation 

insurance, home to airport transfers, meals not in the itinerary, tips for meals not in the itinerary, passport and visa fees, 

personal expenses, excess baggage handling, optional excursions, and tips to tour directors, local guides, motorcoach drivers 

and maid service. The price does not include any expenses if you leave the tour at your own volition, due to illness, or 

due to any event beyond our control. Further, should inclement weather and other conditions beyond our control prevent 

or delay departure of a scheduled airplane, ship, boat, train, or motorcoach and additional hotel nights or other expenses 

are incurred, all additional costs are solely your responsibility. 

16 | General Information 

Accommodations 

Prices are per person and double prices are based on two guests sharing a room with two beds. Triple/quad occupancy 

(when available) is based on three/four guests sharing existing bedding arrangements; rollaway beds are not necessarily 

included in triple/quad prices. Special room requests such as adjacent, connecting, view, near elevator, or lower-level must 

be made at time of deposit and are subject to additional charges and cannot be guaranteed. Hotels listed in the itineraries 

are intended to be used, however from time to time alternate similar hotels may be used. 

Single Accommodations 

A single supplement exists for single guests simply because the price of hotel/cruise rooms is paid solely by the single guest 

rather than being divided by two guests (as is the case for double occupancy). Since hotels and cruise ships limit the number 

of single rooms, singles should deposit early. Paying a single supplement does not imply two seats on the motorcoach. 

Gratuities 

Gratuities to the tour director, driver and step-on/local guides are considered customary and recognized in the industry 

as an appreciation for a job well done. Good Times Travel does not include these gratuities in your tour cost because we 

choose to allow each passenger to decide what the appropriate tip amount is and we feel it serves as motivation for your 

tour director and driver to exceed your expectations. All tips should be offered on a voluntary and individual basis only. 

Suggested tipping amounts per passenger/per day are $5-$8 for single-day tours and $6-10 for multi-day tours. 

Airport Transfers 

Optional roundtrip airport transfers are available from most of our departure points for an additional $99 per person. 

Home private pick-ups are also available for an additional charge with the price dependent on the distance. Transfers are 

only available on the tour departure and return dates. Restrictions apply. 

Real ID, Passports & Visas 

Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license 

(marked with a star at the top of the card), state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or a passport to fly within the United 

States. For all international tours and cruises, each traveler must have a valid passport and possibly a visa, if required. 

Expiration date of passports should be at least 6 months after the return date. 

Luggage 

Luggage handling of one piece of luggage (not exceeding 50 pounds) is included in the multi-day tour price. Airlines may 

also impose fees on luggage, which the passenger is responsible for. One piece of carry-on luggage and one personal item 

per person (both which you must carry and fit beneath your feet on the coach or in the overhead compartment) are allowed. 

For space reasons, wheeled luggage is not suitable as carry-on luggage on motorcoaches. A fee of $10 per hotel will 

be collected if a second bag is stored in the luggage bay. Insurance is recommended to cover possible damage to luggage. 

Seating Assignments 

On all tours, seating on the motorcoach is based on a priority system in which priority is given to the order that payment 

is received. All multi-day tours are subject to a daily seat rotation. Requests for seating (aboard motorcoaches, trains or 

airplanes) cannot be guaranteed and some requests cannot be accepted. 

Health & Disability 

Guests must notify us in advance of any physical or mental illness, disability or other conditions for which special accommodations 

are necessary. Also we must be notified of any medical treatment that may render the guest unfit for travel or 

constitute a risk or danger to the passenger or anyone else on board. Guests needing any form of assistance and those who 

are physically disabled must be accompanied by someone who will take full responsibility for any needed assistance during 

the tour and in the event of an emergency. Good Times Travel cannot provide special individual assistance to tour members 

with special needs for walking, dining or other routine activities. We reserve the right to refuse passage to anyone who, 

in our sole opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other passengers. Guests requiring a wheelchair must 

provide their own collapsible wheelchair. Please be aware that some hotels, attractions and areas may have certain physical 

conditions that may limit the accessibility of wheelchair guests. 

Tour Membership 

Good Times Travel reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a guest and to expel from the tour (single-day or 

multi-day) anyone whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interest of the tour group or tour director. We do 

not accept children under the age of 8 on any tour due to motorcoach travel laws. An adult must accompany all children 

under the age of 18. We do not accept any guests under the age of 21 for any casino tours.

COMMON QUESTIONS 

Is there still space available on a tour? 

Browse our website, which is always kept up-to-date, or contact our office 

to check tour availability. Because tours sell out quickly we recommend that 

you reserve and pay for your space as soon as you know you want to go. 

How do I know I always have the most updated tour listing? 

Our website at www.goodtimestravel.com always has the most up-to-date tour 

availability. There you can register for our E-mailer – subscribers are the first 

to be notified of new tours as they become available. 

How does the airfare pricing work? 

We list the land price separate from the airfare price as some guests choose 

to use frequent flyer miles or make other arrangements to meet the group. If 

you wish to have Good Times handle the air ticketing, you should pay for the 

airfare as soon as possible to lock in the lowest rates as rates do increase. 

Do you offer travel insurance/cancellation protection? 

Yes and we highly recommend it. For all multi-day tours, we provide an 

optional travel insurance plan. Prices start at just $32 p.p. 

If I can’t make a tour, can a friend go? 

On most tours without air or train travel or high security, someone may go 

in your place to avoid cancellation fees. Notify our office of replacements. 

What type of motorcoaches do you use? 

The late-model, deluxe touring coaches that we use on our tours have large 

windows for best viewing, comfortable leather seats with seat belts, foot 

rests, electrical outlets, large monitors, a restroom and kneel for easy access. 

Will I receive tickets and seat assignments 

before the departure date? 

Other than a payment receipt or travel documents related to your multi-day 

tour, our office will not send tickets. These will be provided to you by your 

tour director on the motorcoach. Seat assignments are provided by your 

tour director on the first day of the tour. Seating priority is based on the 

order in which payment is received – unpaid reservations do not guarantee 

seat assignments. In fairness to all, seating requests for front of the coach are 

not accepted and any type of seating request is never guaranteed. 

What is the pacing or physical demands on your tours? 

Tour pacing and physical demands (walking, stairs, etc.) vary by each tour, 

however every tour involves some level of walking and entering/exiting the 

motorcoach. We do our best to provide the most information we can in the 

tour description or itinerary. More information is available on our website. 

Should I tip the driver, tour director and step-on-guide? 

Gratuities are customary and recognized in the industry as an appreciation 

for a job well done. We do not include these gratuities so that each passenger 

can tip the tour director and driver at their discretion. Suggested 

amounts per passenger/per day – Single-Day: $5-$8 – Multi-Day: $6-$10 

What if I have a group of people that would like to go on a tour? 

We can customize and operate tours for any size group. We can also block 

space on any of our existing tours so there is no required minimum group 

size. If you have a group, contact our office so we can inform you of the 

benefits of traveling with us and the benefits to the group leader. 

Can you help me plan my cruise vacation? 

Yes, our cruise experts can assist you with any cruise. Contact us for the best 

rates and service when planning your next cruise – any destination, any 

cruise line, any number of people.
