2010 (click tour name for details, price and a complete itinerary)

In 2009 many people who wanted to travel were frustrated and disheartened from travelling because of the high number of tour cancellations, even though a booking was made, tours were cancelled by the operator due to an insufficient number of bookings.

Our small group tours generally number between 16 and 20 guests. We are pleased to report that even though tour participant numbers were down in 2009, we travelled 
with as few as 8 guests on tour and, not wanting to disappoint booked guests,  we did not cancel any of our tours.

We promise you the same policy for our 2010 departures and we guarantee that none 
of our tours will be cancelled even if the tour is only half full.
