Call Now for Best Pricing & Friendly Service 1-855-403-1833 7 Top 10 reasons why a tour is the best way to travel

Like-minded companions = friends for life Traveling with a small group adds another element to your vacation. The people you’re with are there for the same reason as 1 you: to experience another culture, have fun and create amazing memories. No wonder so many guests stay in touch.

When in Rome… If you want to know where to find the best of everything, who do you ask? Someone who lives there, of course. See the world’s 2 greatest cities through the eyes of real locals. It’s like having a friend show you their favorite places.

More than a meal Food is life. And traveling is all about indulging this most delicate of senses. Sample tapas alongside Sevillanos in Spain. Rendezvous with a cognac maker at Rémy Martin and sip the wares. Or join 3 nonna in Alberobello, in Italy’s Apulia region, to learn the secrets of perfecting the perfect gnocchi followed by a family hosted meal you’ll never forget.

Don’t just see it — live it Tourists see it. Travelers experience it. On a tour, you’re a traveler and you’ll go way beyond the guide­books, like learning to shuck oysters on a seafood farm on the Croatian coast. Or exploring 4 the Sistine Chapel after its closed to the public, topped off with a private dinner surrounded by the treasures of the Vatican Museum. We make that, and plenty more, happen.

Throw away your map We’ll get you there without any stress. You don’t have to worry about whether you have enough reception for Google Maps 5 or what side of the road to drive on. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.

8 www.GETours.com Explore 300+ Great Value Vacations All tied up with a bow Imagine this… Everything organized for you: the best hotels, the finest meals, must-see sights, best experiences and comfortable transport from one place to the next. All done 6 for you. Now, that’s what we call traveling.

Skip the queues See that line of people waiting to get into the Louvre? Forget standing in it for hours. We’ve got VIP access to all 7 the big attractions and we’re not afraid to use it.

We know because we go Each tour is accompanied by a Travel Director, an expert with their finger on the pulse of your destination. That means no unpleasant surprises, language barriers, or stress.

Save time AND money Perhaps, with ample time and effort, you could organize everything we do. Here’s the rub: we’ve got buying power no individual can harness. You’ll always save money with us — 9 which means more cash for souvenirs.

You’re our #1 priority Now, more than ever, safety is top of mind. We’ve adapted to the new realities, with distancing and strict hygiene of prime importance. Our tours are now also accompanied by 10 a Wellbeing Director, who’ll be on hand to share information and oversee health protocols.
