THE BENEFITS OF ESCORTED TRAVEL ARE ENDLESS…from easy planning to the discovery of new places with old and new friends. Our travelers’ comfort, safety and enjoyment are the foundation upon which Conestoga Tours aims to build a unique and enjoyable travel experience. We combine the best in accommodations, attractions, restaurants and transportation so that you can travel with the confidence that all travel worries are taken care of for you.

THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR DOLLARTraveling in a group is much less expensive, much more comfortable and much more fun than going it alone. And when you consider that for around $175.00 per day you can enjoy a top hotel, have meals, visit attractions and enjoy great deluxe transportation, a motorcoach tour is always a great deal.

DELUXE MOTORCOACH TRANSPORTATIONConestoga Tours charters the best available motorcoaches in the area. The motorcoaches feature DVD players, wifi, reclining seats, window shades and restroom. These deluxe coaches will turn your miles into smiles.

YOUR CONESTOGA TOURS TOUR DIRECTOROur tour escorts have the responsibility to make sure your hard-earned vacation goes as smoothly as possible. Have a problem? Your Conestoga Tours escorts will do their best to solve it for you. They love to turn the many “miles into smiles.” Personable and congenial, they are there as your guide, companion, entertainer, business agent and friend.

CONESTOGA TOURS VALUE TOURSConestoga Tours is offering Value Tours that provide great value for your travel dollar. These tours include the same great attractions and the same deluxe motorcoach transportation that Conestoga Tours has provided over the last 39 years. The only difference in our Value Tours is that the accommodations are more economical than our standard tours and the included meals are at less expensive restaurants. But added all together – the Value Tours are hard to beat!

UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCESMeals are always an important part of any tour, so we pay great attention to the meals that we include in our tour program. We try to capture the special flavor of an area by adding a unique dining experience to the package, such as a lobster bake in Cape Cod and New England, a western cook-out in Yellowstone or a seafood dinner in San Francisco.

ENRICHING EXPERIENCESTraveling is a time for fun and pleasure, which is why you expect your vacation to include the most memorable highlights and attractions at the destinations we visit. Our goal is to create an exciting and fun-filled vacation for you. Whether it is exploring Yellowstone Park, the New England coast or the California coast, Conestoga Tours takes great pride in providing unforgettable travel experiences for you.

Your Caper Coupon is a special certificate you will receive on the last day of your tour. You may apply the discount to any other multi-day tour within 18 months of the date of your trip.

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.

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.
