Page 1 Kings Point Bus Trips Vesta partners with Glory Tours, a third party vendor, for all of our coach trips! Glory Tours has been working with Vesta in offering day/overnight trips for 6 years as a part of the Kings Point coach trip operation. In the process of them absorbing all the coach trips, and after analyzing ex- tensive historical data and numerous variables while planning the upcoming bus book, Glory Tours is implementing the following new processes: For all restaurant ONLY tours, Glory Tours will no longer have a tour guide specialist onboard. The goal is to keep these trips affordable by eliminating the expense of a tour guide for these simple outings. Some tours will now have a 40 person signup minimum vs a 35 person signup minimum to also help bring down the cost. Please note: Glory Tours has high standards for the bus companies they partner with to ensure they provide the most reliable, safe and comfortable transporta- tion services. Sometimes that level of performance means slightly higher fees than residents are used to paying but we feel the new processes and higher minimum for some tours will off- set the slight increase in cost. For any trips at risk of being cancelled for not meeting the minimum sign up requirement, but are close, Glory Tours will survey each person on the signup sheet to see if participants are will- ing to pay approximately $2-$5 more per person, (depending on the exact sign up numbers, the tour location and the number of hours the bus is needed) to keep the trip from cancelling. This is necessary to cover the cost of the trip with less riders. In addition, Glory Tours will also utilize a smaller shuttle bus for trips when it is feasible, and when we have enough residents signed up to also help avoid cancellation of a trip. Rays Games-Glory Tours is moving designated seats to a less expensive section, but still allow- ing for some upgrades at an additional cost, if you choose to sit closer. This will also bring the cost down for the more expensive games that are not on Wednesdays (Ray vs. Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, etc.) One final note, it’s extremely important that you remove your name from the signup sheet if you are no longer able to go. Glory Tours relies heavily on the sign up numbers to determine if a trip has met the minimum requirement. Glory Tours understands circumstance arise, but if too many sign up and do not remove their names, it impacts those that have signed up. If you need to remove your name and you are not able to make it up to the clubhouse, you can also call the Transportation Department at 813-387 -3470 and they will be glad to assist you. We hope you are excited about the offerings in the Bus Book and look forward to seeing you all “on the upcoming fun-filled bus tours”!!
