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 5-13 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!

Thursday, June 6, 2024 WAITLISTED 

This memorable coastal getaway fit for a summer 

day begins at Gladstone’s Long Beach, the highly 

rated waterfront restaurant that has been in operation 

in Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbor since 

1949. Enjoy an included lunch with choice of 

entrée while soaking up the restaurant’s relaxed 

ambiance and picture-perfect location. This afternoon 

we’ll experience the old-world charm 

and 1,000-year tradition of Venetian gondolas

Venetian-style gondola. As your charming 

gondolier shares the history of Naples, we’ll enjoy 

the picture-perfect views of colorful multimillion-dollar 

waterfront homes, lush greenery, 

bridges and flower gardens. Naples was built to 

resemble an Italian village at the turn of the 20th 

century and as we soak it all up, it will be easy to 

imagine that we’ve magically traveled to Venice, 

Italy for the hour. We top off the day with an 

included ice cream treat at a locals’ favorite that 

offers unique flavors that are rich and creamy – 

the perfect way to end our coastal getaway. Price:

A Slice of San Diego 

Special Sights & Pie-Themed Treats 

in America’s Finest City 

NEW! 

With Step-On Guide Curt 

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 WAITLISTED 

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 

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.

provided at least one week prior to departure. Tasting

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

distilled into an oil known for its culinary and 

healing qualities, with an opportunity to pick 

your own bundle of lavender (for an additional

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

Island with views of the famous Arch Rock, the

over thousands of years has created unique animals, 

plants, and archeological resources found 

nowhere else on Earth and helped preserve a 

place where visitors can experience coastal southern 

California as it once was. Our large passenger 

vessel features a restroom onboard and offers 

both indoor and outdoor seating on multiple

Channel our journey may be highlighted by

Saturday, August 10, 2024 

Discover four of Los Angeles’ most distinguished 

and unique landmarks – in fact, they’re all L.A. 

Historic-Cultural Landmarks and each features a 

storied past! We begin on the campus of Mount 

Saint Mary’s University campus with a rare and 

unique opportunity to take a docent-guided tour 

of the opulent Doheny Mansion – former home 

of pioneering oil baron, Edward Doheny. The 

Gothic Renaissance-style Victorian mansion, 

not typically open to the general public, was 

designed in 1898 and its French Chateau-esque 

exterior alone incorporates elements of Gothic, 

English Tudor, and even California Mission 

styles. The interior features elegant art glass panels, 

gilt ornaments, Tuscan marble in Corinthian 

columns and a geometrically patterned floor. The 

Pompeiian Room retains a grandeur that is unmatched 

anywhere in Los Angeles with its rare 

and magnificent dome featuring 2,836 pieces of 

gold favrile glass cast in the Long Island furnaces 

of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Learn about the fascinating 

history of the Doheny family and the 

many movies and T.V. shows that have been 

filmed here including Princess Diaries, Spiderman 

3, Catch Me If You Can and The Three Amigos, 

just to name a few. We continue to St. Vincent 

de Paul, a Catholic church with a magnificent 

Spanish Baroque style infused with Californiamission 

architecture. It was built in the 1920s 

with money donated by Edward Doheny and 

has been an L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument 

since 1971. In downtown L.A., we’ll enjoy time 

at leisure for a late lunch (approximately 1:30

day with a ride on historic Angels Flight Railway, 

the world’s shortest railway. This L.A. Historic- 

Cultural Landmark since 1962 originally opened 

in 1901. It’s estimated the recently restored 

123-year-old funicular has given more than 100 

million rides to the top of Bunker Hill on its hillside 

track. In the rare event that Angels Flight is not 

operating, we will instead visit another historic site.

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.,

Coast Starlight Train & Catamaran Cruise 


Sunday, September 22, 2024

aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we travel 

from our departure points to downtown Los Angeles’ 

historic Union Station where we’ll board 

Amtrak’s Coast Starlight train. Enjoy a relaxing, 

3-hour train ride in your reclining seat or check 

out the view from the observation car featuring 

windows that stretch up to the ceiling offering 

unparalleled and expansive views. Once we pass 

Oxnard we’ll travel along California’s spectacular 

coastline with unrivaled views of the Pacific 

Ocean and Channel Islands. We’ll enjoy an included 

boxed lunch onboard along with a snack 

bar selling snacks and drinks. After disembarking 

in Santa Barbara this afternoon, we’ll reboard our 

motorcoach and travel the short distance to the 

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. 

Regardless of what wildlife we see, the ocean 

views provide an unforgettable experience! We 

will motorcoach home. Each guest should bring 

a driver’s license or other government-issued photo 

identification to present to Amtrak on the day of the 

tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, should the 

Coast Starlight train be severely delayed or canceled 

by Amtrak, an Amtrak Surfliner train will be substituted, 

or each guest will be refunded the train portion.

shoes and dress in layers as it tends to be cooler on the 

water. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available 

onboard the catamaran. Price: $189 Depart FV

Hamilton – The Broadway Musical 


Saturday, October 5, 2024 

Don’t miss your chance to see Broadway’s smash 

musical sensation, Hamilton, when the Revolution 

returns to Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre! 

This original hit musical, conceived and written 

by Lin-Manuel Miranda, has received worldwide 

critical acclaim, and set unprecedented box office 

sales. From orphan to George Washington’s righthand 

man, rebel to war hero, loving husband 

caught in the country’s first sex scandal to our 

nation’s first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton 

brings the incredible story of Alexander Hamilton 

to the stage in an ingenious and infectious 

way. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and 

lifelong Hamilton friend and foe, Aaron Burr, all 

attend this revolutionary tale of America’s fiery 

past told through the eyes of one of our most 

ambitious founding fathers. We’ll enjoy orchestra 

level seating for this matinee performance at 

Hollywood’s legendary Pantages Theatre. Prior to 

the performance, we’ll stop for a quick bite at 

the FIGat7th complex in downtown L.A. This 

complex features a variety of take-and-go eateries 

within its TASTE food hall and offers plenty 

of indoor and outdoor dining areas, so you are 

welcome to bring a lunch with you or purchase 

lunch from one of the eateries at FIGat7th. Note 

that this musical includes actors rapping their lines 

in a hip-hop style with some explicit language.

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

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

14 | 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.
