Another step in the Registration Process for any tour, along with your Registration Form and Deposit, is to read this entire document, fill out the form using the link at the bottom of this document , and "Submit" it. This document contains information about your travel and what to do if certain issues arise.

Before the tour begins, Patsy, the Tour Organizer, makes advance arrangements, final decisions, and oversees the many details that make up each tour. She works with many well-known travel vendors to get the best price, best itinerary, best accommodations, and the best meals for all travelers.

Each tour will have a Tour Guide/Manager who has organizational skills and knowledge of her/his country and is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens on a tour. She/he is well-versed in the history, culture, location, hotels, restaurants, and will have recommendations for sightseeing and shopping when we have free time. Each Tour Guide/Manager is your best friend in a foreign country, is in charge of all things tour related, and is the "go to" person when there are tour related issues or if you need any assistance while on tour.

Courtesy Towards Each Other

One more thought... You will spend a lot of time together with your fellow travelers. You will enjoy each other's company. If you are feeling a bit weary or cranky, grab a hug instead of biting at a fellow traveler. We all get "grumpified" every now and then, just be gentle.
