WHY BOOK EARLY?We understand that it is often difficult to plan your

We must let hotels, theaters and other attractions know how many passengers are on our tours, and to pay the admissions sometimes as early as six months in advance! If we have no or few

bookings on a tour at that time, we are forced to cancel it or lose our deposits and payments. Such a situation

is very disappointing to us, but also to those of you who may call for reservations one or two weeks before a

trip is scheduled. The earlier our customers make their reservations, the less likely a tour will be cancelled.

WHY BOOK EARLY?We understand that it is often difficult to plan your vacation far in advance; however, we

encourage you to make early reservations on all tours in order to guarantee that you will be confirmed. We must let hotels, theaters and other attractions know how many passengers are on our tours, and to pay the admissions

sometimes as early as six months in advance! If we have no or few bookings on a tour at that time, we are forced to cancel it or lose

our deposits and payments. Such a situation is very disappointing to us, but also to those of you who may call for reservations one or two weeks before a trip is scheduled. The

earlier our customers make their reservations, the less likely a tour will be cancelled.
