Our SECRET Tour Along The SILK ROAD The Best Kept Secret

We have offered this special Silk Road Train Tour twice before - once for 2017 and another one going in 2018. Both times we kept it a secret from the vast majority of you that have traveled with us. We never advertised it in our mailer and we never put it on the web site. We just contacted a few past guests each time and easily sold out this special tour. We decided that wasn’t really fair to the rest of our loyal past guests that never received the information or had a chance to participate in this fantastic tour, AND WE DO MEAN FANTASTIC!!! By including our Silk Road Train Tour into this mailer, this special tour is no longer a secret it is open to everyone.

“BEST Tour in the World”

One of the Fun For Less Tours owners, who has been to over 100 countries, expressed after experiencing the Silk Road: “this was the BEST tours she had ever been on”. The quality of any tour is the number of highlight days. This tour is filled with highlight days. The most beautiful building in the world, with over one billion colorful mosaic tiles, is part of this tour. The tour is filled with hundreds of UNESCO World Heritage Site buildings, most covered in colorful mosaics and some even in goldleaf. There are even ancient walled cities still intact. It is really one of the BEST tours in the whole world and should not be missed.

Why We Have the BEST Silk Road Tour

There have been two ways to travel the silk road through Central Asia. By bus and by train. When we started working on this tour we talked to many that had traveled the Silk Road by bus, we wanted to know how much they liked their bus tour. They all said the same thing - They loved the sites but absolutely hated the extremely long exhausting drives on bad roads to get from one place to another. They all felt a private train would be a much better option! The owners of Fun For Less Tours experienced the Silk Road by private train in 2015. They absolutely loved the train, it would travel by night from one place to another and then they would park the train during the day so you had time to see all the fantastic sites. There was only one drawback to the train Jim and Carol went on – it visited less countries than doing it by bus. We wanted to do all the countries AND we wanted to do it by train. The only way we could do that was to charter the whole train and design our own itinerary that included the additional countries. It took us six months to get permission for our private train to enter the additional countries we wanted, we now include all of the countries that would be done by bus. We are the only ones in the world that offers a private train tour that covers China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. We were the first to ever bring a private train into Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan – the only other way to visit all these countries in the past was by vehicle that often involved many 10 hour drives in one day on bad roads. WE SEE IT ALL WITHOUT THE LONG DRIVES!

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

Chartering the Whole Train Gave Us FANTASTIC PRICING When the owners of Fun For Less Tours went on the Silk Road train in 2015 that visited only 3 countries, there were 16 passengers from the USA on the same train. They knew we were preparing for a group in 2017. They also knew we were going to add the Silk Road in China and most likely visit additional countries that were not included on our 2015 train trip. They asked what we might be charging our group when we put it all together.

There was no way to be accurate, but we could give an estimate as we knew what our costs would be in China and had some estimated pricing for the train. We took our train cost estimate, added extra for additional countries, added China, added our best guess on airfare in China and then gave them our best guess price. Their program was a 14-day tour, we estimated our future program to be a 20-day tour. They were shocked, at our estimated pricing! For the same cabin category, without China, educator and additional countries we planned to include, they had paid almost $3,000 more per person than we estimated we would charge our passengers for everything. We not only have the best tour for the Silk Road, we have the best pricing! Chartering the whole train created huge savings! We have the best price possible!

Why NOW IS THE TIME We contracted for three chartered Silk Road Train Tours. 2017, 2018 and 2019. We have already taken 2017, we have only 8 spaces left on 2018, but we have just started to sell 2019. When 2018 and 2019 are sold out, we do not know when we will be able to do this again. We have not been able to get a contract for 2020 as they are using their train in other parts of Europe. We do hope we will be able to charter the train again in the future, but no one knows. Don’t take the chance - Now is the time to schedule this special train tour.

Almaty

Bukhara Merv

Samarkand

Tashkent Khujand

Bishkek

Shakhrisabz In China:

Xi’an was the ancient capital of China and the start of the Silk Road. Xi’an was where the Emperors lived during the time of the Silk Road. If you look at the map above you will see our tour starts in Xi’an and then flys to Dunhuang, which was a major crossroad on the Silk Road. In Dunhuang the Silk Road splits into three major trails. We will take the Northern route, which is the absolute best route for experiencing ancient ruins and staggering beauty. From Dunhuang we take a high-speed train to Turpan, then on to Urumqi by bus. From Urumqi, we will fly over the 14,000-foot mountains that separates China from Central Asia into Almaty Kazakhstan (the 9th largest country in the world). Almaty is where we will find our PRIVATE DELUXE Train waiting for us.

In Central Asia (The Heart of the Silk Road):

We will travel throughout Central Asia by our Chartered Private Train - almost every stop was part of the Silk Road! In addition to Almaty you will experience Bishkek, Tashkent, Khujand, Shakhrisabz, Samarkand, Khiva, Bukhara, Merv and Ashgabat. The Ancient Silk Road continued into Iran, through Syria and on into Europe, but we leave our Private Train in Ashgabat. This really is a once in a lifetime chance to experience the Silk Road in a way no one else can deliver!

Urumchi Turpan Dunhuang

Very Important information:

Xi’an

There are a total of 7 countries that end in Stan. We will actually be traveling through 5 of those countries: Kazakhstan (the 9th largest country in the world), Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. There are two other countries that end in Stan THAT WE ARE NOT VISITING – Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is critical to understand the difference. The 5 Stans we visit were part of the Soviet Union from the 1800’s until 1991. After 70 years of Russia’s no religion policy, there are very few that practice religion, be it Christian or Muslim.

Central Asia (The Heart of the Silk Road)

The Silk Road brought riches to Central Asia, which was used to create some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. The best way to describe Central Asia’s Architecture is Unique, Majestic and Breathtakingly Beautiful. In Samarkand alone there were billions of tiles used to create some of the most beautiful structures in the world.

Above is one example of work that dates back to the 1400’s. Central Asia’s architecture is not only beautiful on the outside it is also unique and beautiful on the inside!!

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

Our Fantastic 20 day Silk Road Package Price Includes: The Silk Road Express Private Train is 15 days (we added a 4 day China portion that brings the total tour to 20 days).

The 15 day train portion includes many nights on the train along with several hotel nights. We are using the same train company as the one across Siberia. Chartering the whole train has made it possible to do the Silk Road at prices substantially less than the Siberia Rail trip. The 15 day Siberia Rail Train cost was $8,395 for the Classic Cabin (2 lower beds). The 15 day Silk Road Train portion costs $6,595 for the Aladdin Cabin (same 2 lower beds). That is a full $1,800 less than our passengers had to pay to visit Siberia on the same train for the same number of days. We have even more savings on cabins that include their own toilet and shower – the savings range from $5,000 to $7,000 LESS per person. Chartering the train has created a huge savings.

The 15 day Train portion includes the following: Price: $6,595

ANTARCTICA CRUISE with Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and the Chilean Fjords 26 day cruise/tour - January 7, 2019 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

Iguazu Falls, Brazil, Argentina

A few things you should understand:

• The most spectacular trip you will ever take! Take the best cruise, times it by ten and you may come close to how phenomenal this cruise is!

• It really isn’t freezing!!! The climate is dry and sunny with temperatures around 40 degrees 24 hours a day during the Antarctic portion.

• Cruising the Antarctic is not done from miles away! You are able to get up close to the most beautiful majestic land on earth. It literally can take your breath away!

• Your cruise includes more than the Antarctic: It includes the Falkland Islands, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay with many ports of call. It also includes the Chilean Fjords, Cape Horn, Terra del Fuego, Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage, penguins, seals, whales and so much more!

• You can add an optional extension to Iguazu Falls, the BEST falls in the world.

Optional Extension to Iguazu Falls

There is not space to adequately explain the majesty and beauty of Iguazu Falls. Simply put – IT IS THE #1 FALLS IN THE WORLD! When Eleanor Roosevelt first saw the falls, her reaction was “Poor Niagara”. When our passengers traveled to this part of the world they were so impressed with Iguazu Falls, they believed it was the single best touring day anywhere in the world. Then they cruised through the Antarctic changing their minds, stating that Antarctica were the best days! Then sailing through the Chilean Fjords, was icing on the cake. They came away saying “this was the best trip anywhere in the world!” This is exactly what will happen to you if you come join us on our 2019 Antarctic Cruise and Tour!

VOLGA RIVER CRUISE with Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan & the Caspian Sea

The 5 star Volga Dream Cruise Ship is a small luxurious boutique ship. Unlike the large ships doing the Volga River with hundreds of passengers, this special ship holds approximately 100 passengers.

It is luxurious inside and allows the passengers on any deck to walk around seeing all there is to see while traveling on the beautiful Volga River. The Boutique ship is perfect for us, we were able to buy the whole ship and because of its small size we will never feel crowded.

Budapest parliament at sunrise, Hungary

We have combined a fantastic Exotic Danube River Cruise with a Romania Tour. There is not room enough to express how fantastic this tour is. Michael specifically asked for this tour. It is always high on his list to return. What a wonderful way to visit 5 countries: Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. You will be sailing in luxury on an AmaWaterways’ ship. It just doesn’t get any better than this. You’re going to absolutely love Romania, it has 3 of the top castles in Europe and what we consider to be the #1 Castle in the world. It also has the mystique of Count Vlad Dracula. Yes, there really was a Count Vlad Dracula in the Transylvania mountains of Romania. He was born in a small medieval walled village in 1431 and the village is still there. One of our favorite castles, the Corvin Castle, was once voted the scariest place on earth, Count Dracula was a prisoner in this castle for many years in the 1400’s. Please listen to us, Romania is our favorite country in Europe. If you ever wanted to do this part of the world, do it in 2019 with Michael. It will be a long time before we offer this tour again and for sure it will not have Michael.

We had several goals when we started negotiating with river cruise lines in Europe to take our groups:

• #1: Quality of ship: AmaWaterways has won almost everyone’s award as the best cruise line in Europe, even beating out Viking.

• #2: Shore excursions: Shore excursions are included with River Cruising in Europe. The issue is the quality of the shore excursions. They often do short city or walking tours, skipping the sites that have expensive entrance fees and almost daily they end up stopping at a winery for wine tasting. ***THIS IS BIG - AmaWaterways has agreed to allow Fun For Less Tours to design their own shore excursions. The Fun for Less Tours' owners are spending a month in Europe in 2018 visiting AmaWaterways’ ports of call on both the Rhine and Danube Rivers to design our own private ENHANCED shore excursions. We are no longer just driving by the castles so we can get to wine tasting.

• #3: Lower the pricing: By doing partial or full charters, we were able to save our passengers up to $1,000 PER PERSON! On some sailings the cruise company offers $250 per person discount, but NO ONE EVER offers a $600 to $1,000 per person discount, especially when you consider the extra costs to do ENHANCED shore excursions, the costs of bringing our Fun For Less Tours staff and the costs of bringing Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as a guest educator. YES, the cruise line made us an unbelievable deal!!! - We are passing the savings on to you!

• Look at OUR special savings over the cruise lines prices for 2019 Cabins o Cat D Two Large Port Hole Windows - 160 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $3,894 MINUS our $600 savings - you pay $3,294 pp. o Cat C French Balcony - 170 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $4,494 MINUS our $800 savings - you pay $3,694 pp. o Average of Cat BB&BA Double Balcony Mini Suites - 210 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $5,094 MINUS our $1,000 savings - you pay 4,094 pp.  To get the savings needed to lower the price for our customers and do our own designed enhanced shore excursions, we committed to doing ½ to full ship charters. The cruise line needs charters to be sold in advance of normal sales. That means we need to sell our portion of the ship now so we can pass the savings on to you!

When you consider you save up to $1,000 per person on the cruise that includes our special ENHANCED shore excursions AND you get the very best of Budapest and all of Romania, AND you get Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as your guest educator – WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR – CALL US NOW!

BRANSON CHRISTMAS 7 day 6 night trip - December 3, 2018

"SAMSON" - Sights & Sounds Theatre in Branson

The owners of Fun for Less Tours were in Branson 4 times in the last two years, twice to prepare for future groups and twice with groups. You need to know they love Branson! They find the Branson experience more fun and enjoyable than Broadway. You can’t compare one show like “Wicked” to any one show in Branson, but the sheer enjoyment and fun of Branson overall, outweighs Broadway. Then there is the gigantic price differences. Branson shows are usually between $30 and $40 for prime center seats and around $60 for Dinner Shows and Silver Dollar City’s two shows. Compare that to one show on Broadway for prime center seating (if you can get them) they can easily cost $200 to $400 per show. Several of the shows we attended during our week of previewing shows, had groups from Utah attending the same show. In all cases, those groups were sitting in the back section of the theater and one time even on the back rows. We never buy the cheap seats – all of our seats start on row 2 and go back in the center section. We buy the best seats!!!!

BRANSON CHRISTMAS 7 day 6 night trip - December 3, 2018

Voted #1 Branson Christmas Show 9-years in a row!

We preview the shows for you, before we take you!

Jim and Carol (owners of Fun For Less Tours) went to Branson to preview the Christmas Shows we would be taking you to this year. Previewing the shows ahead of time is critical to offering the best experience possible. The biggest problem in Branson is the sheer number of shows. There are often 100 shows going on in Branson. Of that number, maybe 20 are great, and another 10 are good, the rest can be ok to less than ok. When choosing shows to preview, we looked at lists of shows offered by other companies from Utah, along with Trip Advisors recommendations. We also called those living and working in the show business in Branson, for their recommendations. Many of the shows on other Utah companies lists fell to the bottom of our list after seeing all of the shows. We chose not to take our passengers to ‘The Presley’s,’ ‘Shoji Tabuchi Christmas Show,’ ‘Hallmark’s Maxine Christmas Carol’ and more. Many of these shows were okay, but definitely not great. We chose the BEST SHOWS.

36

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

Our Package Price Includes:

• 6 nights in a wonderful Deluxe Boutique Hotel in a great location.

• 14 Branson shows plays and musicals. We have included the Trip Advisor's Rating. Many shows that are rated on Trip advisor are not there at Christmas Time and others we really did not like. Below are the shows we plan to attend all in Prime center seating and when applicable Trip Advisor Ratings.

• Sounds & Lights Theater – Sampson the musical, as good as anything you will see on Broadway – Rated #1 on Trip Advisor.

• The Haygoods Christmas Show – Rated #2 on Trip Advisor.

• SIX Christmas Show – Rated #5 on Trip Advisor.

• Dixie Stampede Dinner Show – Rated #6 on Trip Advisor.

We will enjoy the lights and two musicals.

2019 RHINE RIVER Amsterdam to Paris

16 day cruise/tour - June 7, 2019 with Dr. Michael Wilcox & Jeff Lawson

colorful timbered houses in “Petite Venise” - Colmar, France outside of Strasbourg

The River Cruise Portion of our Package We have combined a fantastic Rhine River Cruise from (Basel, Switzerland to Netherlands) with a fantastic land tour in Switzerland and France. The land tour portion starts in Paris, visiting all of the important sites, then travels by high-speed train to Switzerland. The major highlights of this tour will be the Rhine River Cruise and your stay in the quaint picturesque villages of Zermatt at the base of the Matterhorn and Grindelwald at the base of the Eiger. We have included clog trains, waterfalls inside a mountain, cable cars, high-speed trains and so much more to go along with your fantastic River Cruise. You will absolutely love the many castles you will see along the way which will include: the Chillon Castle and the Lenzburg Castle in Switzerland, along with 3 of the top 5 castles in Germany: The Hohenzollern Castle, the Burg Eltz Castle, and the Heidelberg Castle. Join us on a wonderful romantic Rhine River Cruise.

We had several goals when we started negotiating with river cruise lines in Europe to take our groups:

• #1: Quality of ship: AmaWaterways has won almost everyone’s award as the best cruise line in Europe, even beating out Viking.

• #2: Shore excursions: Shore excursions are included with River Cruising in Europe. The issue is the quality of the shore excursions.

They often do short city or walking tours, often skipping the sites that have expensive entrance fees and almost daily they end up stopping at a winery for wine tasting. ***THIS IS BIG - AmaWaterways has agreed to allow Fun For Less Tours to design our own shore excursions. The Fun for Less Tours owners are spending a month in Europe in 2018 visiting AmaWaterways’ ports of call on both the Rhine and Danube Rivers to design our own private enhanced shore excursions. We are not going to just drive by a castle so we can get to wine tasting.

• #3: Lower the pricing: By doing partial or full charters, we were able to save our passengers up to $1,000 PER PERSON! On some sailings the cruise company offers $250 per person discount, but NO ONE EVER offers a $600 to $1,000 per person discount, especially when you consider the extra costs to do enhanced shore excursions, the costs of bringing our Fun For Less Tours staff and the costs of bringing Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as a guest educator. YES, the cruise line made us an unbelievable deal!!!

• Look at OUR special savings over the cruise lines prices for 2019 Cabins • Cat D Two Large Port Hole Windows - 160 square Feet: • 2019 Ship Price: $3,794 MINUS our $600 savings - you pay $3,194 • Cat C French Balcony - 170 square feet: • 2019 Ship Price: $4,394 MINUS our $800 savings - you pay $3,594 • Average of Cat BB&BA Double Balcony Mini Suites - 210 square feet: • 2019 Ship Price: $4,994 MINUS our $1,000 savings - you pay 3,994.

• In order to get the savings needed to lower the price for our customers and do our own designed enhanced shore excursions, we committed to doing ½ to full ship charters. The cruise line needs charters to be sold in advance of normal sales. That means we need to sell our potion of the ship now so we can pass the savings on to you!

When you consider you save up to $1,000 per person on the cruise that includes our special shore excursions AND you get the very best of Switzerland along with all of Paris including the Paris Temple!

2nd BEST TOUR in the WORLD!

THAILAND & ANGKOR WAT with Burma 15 day tour - January 18, 2019 with Glenn Rawson

Bagan Temples of Burma

Here is why we consider this tour the 2nd Best Tour in the World!

You will love every day of this tour, PLUS it has the most highlight days of any tour we offer anywhere in the world. If you rated each day on a scale of 1-10 there can be many 5, 6 and 7s but there are very few 10s or 10+ days. For example, you may love every day on a tour of Peru and Machu Picchu, but two of the days will stand above everything else. The day you explored Machu Picchu and the day you visited the Uros Tribe on Lake Titicaca. They are a 10 or what we call “highlight days”. A Machu Picchu Tour has two “highlight days”. Until now China with 5 highlight days held the most. With this special designed tour you end up with 6 fantastic highlight days, the most of any tour or cruise we offer anywhere in the world.

Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience: In Cambodia:

There are two fantastic highlight days in Cambodia, Angkor Wat and Tonli Sap Lake. Angkor Wat has some of the best ruins in the world and are unrivaled both in beauty and state of preservation! Its magnificence displays a pomp and luxury surpassing that of a Pharaoh, an impressiveness greater than that of the Pyramids, and artistic distinctiveness as fine as that of the Taj Mahal! Movies like Tomb Raiders have been filmed here. Tonli Sap Lake will amaze you with the villages and houses built on stilts, along with the floating villages and houses that float on the lake.

In Thailand:

Thailand is Siam, home to the films the King and I and Anna and the King. You will have one fantastic highlight day in Chiang Mai, Thailand - One of our passengers this year said, “this has been the best 24 hours of my life” after his day in the Chiang Mai area. The day included petting large tigers, witnessing the best elephant show in the world, and riding elephants over the mountain to visit the Long Neck Tribe. As seen in National Geographic, the women stretch their necks by putting metal rings around them. Your second highlight day in Thailand will be the visit to the beautiful King’s Palace and temples.

In Myanmar (Burma):

There are Two fantastic highlight days in Myanmar: Bagan ruins and Inle Lake. Bagan is probably one of the most amazing sights we have ever seen. Within a few square miles are the ruins of over 2,500 temples and pagodas.

Inle Lake is beautiful and unique. It is filled with floating villages, floating gardens, floating temples and so much more.

This is a 10+ in sites to visit in the world. We also tour Rangoon before leaving Myanmar.

50

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

Travel & Leisure Magazine list the top 10 cities in the world each year. Three of the cities you are going to visit on this tour have made their top 10. Bangkok, Thailand as a #1 city in the world and Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) as a #7. Chiang Mai, Thailand as a #10.

Singapore Air: We use one of the top 3 airlines in the world, Singapore Air. There is more leg room, better service and each seat has its own individual television with over 100 hundred movies that you can start, pause or stop at your pleasure.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER PADDLE BOAT Memphis to New Orleans 9 day cruise/tour - November 25, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox & Jeff Lawson

historic Nottoway plantation in Louisiana

The excitement, fun, and relaxation of a Mississippi paddle boat cruise combined with the study of the Civil War with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox. This fantastic paddle boat cruise starts in Memphis, Tennessee and travels the Mississippi to New Orleans.

When you combine the American Queen Paddle Steamboat package with our optional 4 day, 3-night extension package you will experience it all. Our optional extension package has added two full days of touring in Memphis, Tennessee. In Memphis, our optional tour package includes one night in a deluxe hotel before the cruise, along with two full days of touring. Our tours of Memphis and the surrounding area includes the home of Elvis Presley’s Graceland and the birthplace of rock and roll – Sun Studio. We will then board our beautiful American Queen Paddle Boat Steamer for our 8-day 7-night cruise on the Mississippi River.

You will enjoy wonderful stops along the Mississippi including the famous Civil War site in Vicksburg. We then spend 2 nights in New Orleans after your cruise. We will spend the 2 days visiting everything from Bourbon Street to an authentic Cajun experience – a boat ride on the Bayou. We have even included Mardi Gras World Studio where they are in the middle of building next year’s Mardi Gras floats.

You do not want to be touring or sailing the Mississippi in the heat of 90 plus degrees and 90 to 100% humidity. We have chosen the perfect time of year, the end of November in the South has the best temperatures. Our Mississippi River Cruise starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2018 (November 22). Thanksgiving is over, the Friday after Thanksgiving's maniac shopping is over and the Christmas parties haven’t started. The average temperature at the time of our sailing is 70 degrees in New Orleans and the vast majority of our stops the average temperatures will range between 65 to 70 degrees. There are fewer crowds along with perfect touring and walking temperatures.

Another reason this is the perfect time of year is that New Orleans lights up for Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend. We will see the pageantry and beauty of Christmas in New Orleans and other cities as we travel the Mississippi without the cold temperatures of Christmas. Consider all this has to offer: The BEST in educators, a fantastic Mississippi paddle boat cruise, Christmas Lights and pageantry, all while avoiding stifling heat and humidity.

INDIA

with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest 15 day tour - November 6, 2018 with Dr. Taylor Halverson

Taj Mahal - Agra, India

Why this year is the best year to explore India

The purchase power of the dollar: Not long ago we were getting 42 Rupees (India’s currency) for each dollar. We are now getting 64 Rupees for each dollar. You do not need to be a math teacher to understand that everything has become less expensive. India is trying to do things that would take the number of Rupees per dollar below 50 so the savings will not last.

Our 2018 group is using the savings to improve the tour AND upgrade many of our hotels to opulent Maharaja Palaces!

56

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

5 - S t a r Lu x u r y !

New!

The quality of hotels in India can make or break your tour. Most 3 and some 4 star hotels are not up to US standards and are not always safe. Our hotels for the most part beat 5 star US standards. Our hotels are like an oasis with many acres of manicured gardens. Your tour includes real 5 star opulent luxury palaces (built by Maharajas), along with 5 star luxurious hotels! Here is a partial list of hotels we expect to use on your tour: the 5 star JW Marriott Deli, the 5 star Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, the 5 star Jaypee Palace Agra, the 5 star Taj Mahal Palace in Jaipur, a 5 star hotel in Pushkar and the Taj Hari Mahal Palace in Jodhpur. As you can see we are staying in a lot of Palaces that very few tours ever get to stay in.

National Geographic created a list of ten places you should see before you die. As part of your tour, you will have the rare opportunity to experience the famous Pushkar Festival that was part of that list of 10. The Pushkar Festival is considered the oldest festival in the world. It has been held annually for over 1,000 years. An astonishing 50,000 camels along with cattle and horses are brought to Pushkar each year to barter and sell. It’s a fascinating and spectacular sight that will rank at the top of your list of travel experiences. Less than 1% of the visitors to India get the opportunity to attend a Pushkar Festival. There are only a few 5-star hotels and a few 1 to 2 star small hotels at Pushkar, so most of the visitors have to stay in tents during their visit to the festival. With our connections in India, we have been given one of the 5 star luxury hotel for our group to stay in.

“Tiger’s Nest” Himalayan Buddhist Temple - Bhutan

Optional 4 Day Extension To The Ancient Country of Bhutan

Bhutan is a small picturesque country located high in the Himalayas with a border to Tibet. It was almost completely cut off for centuries with no roads in or out. It has tried to let in some aspects of the outside world while fiercely guarding its ancient traditions. They still wear clothing styles that are from the 16th century. Bhutan “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, only began to open up to outsiders in the 1970’s.

Bhutan’s ancient Buddhist culture, friendly people and breathtaking scenery make it a natural tourist attraction. Tourism is very restricted, they limit the number of visas each year and all visitors must travel as part of a pre-arranged package or guided tour, it is not open to independent travelers. Fun For Less Tours' owners have been to Bhutan and have worked hard to obtain a chance for our passengers to visit this wonderful country. We highly recommend you add this optional extension!!!!

ISRAEL & JORDAN Holy Land Tour

11 day tour - November 1, 2018 with Glenn Rawson

Jerusalem skyline, Israel

Garden Tomb - Jerusalem

The Treasury - Petra, Jordan

Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem

The Holy Lands are on both sides of the Jordan River. Your tour will include all of the important spiritual sites in Israel, along with Mt. Nebo and the most likely area Jesus was baptized in Jordan. We will also swim in the Dead Sea. A few years ago the world was asked to vote on a new Seven Wonders of the World. Along with places like Machu Picchu and the Great Wall, Petra in Jordan was voted as one of the new Seven Wonders. You will have the chance to experience Petra on this tour.

Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience:

Jerusalem, the sea of Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem Center, Nazareth, Garden of Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb, Mount of Beatitudes, Mt. Carmel, Capernaum, Masada, Caesarea, Mt. Tabor, Antonia Fortress, tour on top of Temple Mount, Palace of Caiaphas, Mt. Nebo, Jesus’ baptismal area, swim in the Dead Sea, Petra, Amman and so much more! We also visit places others miss or are not allowed to visit. Some even leave off Bethlehem, and most leave off Jordan! One of the sites missed by everyone else: The ongoing excavations of the City of Lehi. A cave was discovered a short distance down from Jerusalem with writings of a Prophet from 600 BC. The Nomad tribes consider the hill above the cave to be a sacred place. As they put it, “Before there was Muhammad there was a great prophet named Lehi and he taught from that hill”. We do not know if this is our Lehi, but we do know this will be a huge highlight as you visit an active archaeological dig. The excavations are on an Army Base. Only those excavating and Fun For Less Tours have been given permission to go onto the site.

To see a video on the Lehi excavations go to the Israel section of our website you will find a link. NOTE: The excavations are now far enough along, there are stairs into the underground excavations.

Scenic views, Banff National Park Alberta Canada

We offered it once before and it sold out and ended up with almost 100 people on a wait list. We have it again and you don’t want to miss out. The Majestic Canadian Rockies Rocky Mountaineer Train travels 2 full days during daylight hours from Vancouver to Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains. The rest of the tour is by bus staying in luxurious 5-star Hotels. The Rocky Mountaineer Train delivers “The Best Train Trip in the World”. They offer two classes of service on the train. Both services are great!!!

The SilverLeaf Service Car (Business Class) has one single level: It has gigantic windows and business class seating but does not have an all glass domed roof. Your 5-star restaurant meals will be served at your seat. You do not have a vestibule where you can go outside.

Those traveling in SilverLeaf Service stay in 3 and 4 Star Hotels. We reserved a full train car of SilverLeaf Service.

The GoldLeaf Service Car (First Class) has two levels: The bottom level holds a 5-star

restaurant where guests in GoldLeaf Service will eat their breakfasts and lunches on the two travel days. It also has an outside vestibule where you can go outside (look at the end of the last car in the picture above, you can see the vestibule). The upper level, in the first class seating area, has a completely domed glass roof. See picture on following pages. Those traveling in GoldLeaf Service stay in hotels throughout the tour. We have booked a full train car of GoldLeaf Service.

Very Important Information: We simply wanted everyone including the SilverLeaf passengers to stay with our GoldLeaf

passengers in the 5-star Luxury Hotels (as listed on the next page). It took some doing, but we finally made it happen. The only difference between Gold and Silver is the class of service traveling from Vancouver to Banff. At the end of the two days on the train, both groups will join together. The SilverLeaf group has been upgraded to the same hotels where the GoldLeaf group is staying with the exception in Kamloops, where we maybe split into two hotels.

CANADIAN ROCKIES 14 day train tour - June 3, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

The Majestic Canadian Rockies by Train Voted 7 years in a row “The BEST Train Trip in the World”

After arranging the BEST train, we had to arrange getting all of the hotels to be the same for both Silver and Gold. They needed to all be in the GoldLeaf hotels. The train was the easy part. Getting both groups into the Four Seasons in Vancouver, the Oak Bay Beach Resort in Victoria AND the famous Fairmont Hotels in Banff and Lake Louise was the hard part.

Take a look at some of the hotels you will be staying in:

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Located in the heart of Banff National Park. The Banff Springs Hotel stands as a landmark in the picturesque alpine town of Banff, Canada’s “Castle” in the Rockies. It has been providing legendary hospitality to guests for more than 125 years. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel. It is surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, the majestic Victoria Glacier and a glistening emerald lake. It was built over 100 years ago and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Chateau Whistler Hotel. Nestled at the base of Blackcomb Mountain is Whistler’s landmark hotel and golf. Combining classic elegance and a modern alpine setting.

• The 5 star Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver. The Four Seasons hotel chain is one of the top hotel chains in the world. The Four Seasons Hotel’s exceeds the standards used to rate 5-star luxury hotels.

• The 5 star Oak Bay Beach Resort Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Winner of several “Travelers Choice Awards” for 2015 - Luxury Hotels in Canada #4 - Top Hotels in Canada #9 – Romantic Hotels in Canada #20 - every bedroom has a fireplace!

This is your one chance to stay in the lap of luxury. This fantastic tour includes hotels that are next to impossible to get in to. We have great pricing for the Fairmont and Four Seasons hotels. To understand the value here are a couple of comparisons.

• Fairmont Banff Springs with a dinner and two breakfasts and tax like we have included in our package – the same dates in June in 2017 would easily cost over $800 PER NIGHT and you have two nights in our package.

• Fairmont Lake Louise with a dinner and breakfast and tax we have included in our package would be over $1,000 PER NIGHT! It really is a fantastic package at an inexpensive price when you consider all that you get in the package! You owe it to yourself to live like Royalty once in your life. Don’t pass up this chance!

When you take a deluxe resort and locate it on a wonderful beach, add the amenities a cruise offers, you end up with a vacation that is better than a cruise.

SHAKESPEARE 2018 4 day trip - July 16, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox 4 day trip - July 19, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

6 Fantastic Plays & Musicals

“I’d rather see Shakespeare in Cedar City than in Stratford, England. My experiences have been better there. This is professional theatre rated among the top three Shakespeare festivals in North America.”

– Dr. S Michael Wilcox Michael has seen all of the plays offered each summer for over 20 years. No matter how busy he is he finds time to experience Cedar City’s Shakespeare Festival.

Everyone, even if you question your love of Shakespeare, will absolutely love this festival. It has 4 Shakespeare plays and 2 other musicals, comedies or Broadway type plays. Michael helps all of us understand each Shakespeare play by explaining the story and the characters before we go to each Shakespeare play. Knowing the story will make Shakespeare more enjoyable for everyone. Each day you will enjoy 2 wonderful plays.

Look at the fantastic line-up of plays for 2018:

THE ENGELSTAD SHAKESPEARE THEATRE THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR Falstaff in love? Hardly! But the loveable old renegade does have his lusty eye on a couple of middle-class housewives. Trouble is feminine with and wisdom triumph once again as the amused and annoyed wives teach Sir John a lesson in this bubbling, popular comedy sure to please everyone in the family.

HENRY VI PART ONE Henry V has died, and his young son is soon crowned Henry VI. In France, war is raging. At home in England various factions are claiming the right to the throne, choosing between the symbolic red and white roses. In this seldom produced history, Shakespeare gathers these threads together and combines them into a powerful tapestry of a country soon to be racked by civil war.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Whether you consider this thought-provoking masterpiece a story of love and humor or one of racism and greed, Shakespeare’s controversial tragicomedy will touch your soul. Its modern and relevant themes and memorable characters could have been drawn from today’s headlines, and will certainly cause you to pause and think about justice and mercy, the complexity of humankind, and the nature of forgiveness and love.

THE RANDALL L. JONES THEATRE THE FOREIGNER Charlie, shy and seeking solitude, is on vacation at a Georgia hunting lodge. Avoiding the other guests, he pretends he is a foreigner, understanding no English. However, he soon witnesses bizarre schemes by people who think he can’t understand a word they say, leading to confusion and non-stop hilarity that set up one of the funniest endings in all of theatre.

BIG RIVER Mark Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful, and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel, and leaving you humming tunes such as “River in the Rain,” “Worlds Apart,” and the rousing anthem “Free at Last.”

ANES STUDIO THEATRE OTHELLO Brimming with incredible passion and anguish, as well as very human tenderness, this tragic story will lure you into a powerful world of jealousy and betrayal. Fast moving and devastating, Othello is one of Shakespeare’s most haunting plays, exploring how fear and jealousy can destroy the most intelligent minds and the purest of loves.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”

New!

Our BEST Seating Ever Before seating is open to the public to purchase, it is first offered to those that contribute money or time to the Shakespeare Festival. Fun For Less Tours does not fall into this group. After receiving our seat assignments for this year (2015) we expressed our disappointment in the seats that were assigned to us. All of our seats were in the back half of the Orchestra section. We did not have any seats in the front half. We understand why the large donors and those involved in the plays should get first choice. We just wanted to be included in those getting first choice. We told the Festival we needed to be included in the first group for the following reasons: • This is more of a service then a profit center for us. By the time we pay for the hotels, the show tickets, three meals a day, thousands of dollars to rent our meeting space at the Festival, all tipping, money paid to actors for the private seminar, along with the cost of sending many staff members with all of their costs and the costs of Dr. Michael Wilcox – we make very little money. The winner in all of this are our customers AND the Shakespeare Festival.

• We asked the Festival to look at the many years of our buying around 2000 show tickets each year, which is 10 times more than other groups have purchased. We felt they needed to consider the large number of tickets we buy each year as our donation to the Shakespeare Festival.

• If we could not get better seating we would likely stop coming.

Our petition did not fall on deaf ears! This year all of our seats were in the Orchestra, but in the back sections. The Festival has re-evaluated our position for next year. We already have our seats assigned and know exactly what we have to offer and believe us, they are GREAT! We ended up with 3 packages for next year.

• Our Gold Package: Four of the plays are in Rows 1, 2, 3 or 4. The other two plays are in great Orchestra seating. NOTE: The Gold Package has already sold out.

• Silver Package: Three of the plays are in Rows 1, 2, 3, or 4. The other three plays will be in good Orchestra seating. We still have space in our Silver Package.

• Bronze Package: One of the plays will be in Rows 1, 2, 3 or 4. The rest of the seats are not bad, they are basically what we had this year. The Bronze Package will not go on sale until after we sell out our Silver Package.

Approximately 40% of our seats are in the Gold Package, which has sold out. We also have about 40% of our seats in the Silver package and 20% of our seats are part of the Bronze Package. Not much difference between the Gold and Silver packages. The Silver Package will also sell out, so don’t wait!!

Silver Package Price

Our Silver Package Price includes everything: hotels, all taxes, breakfasts, lunch and quality dinners, show tickets for 6 plays (3 of your plays in rows 1-4), all tipping, private actors seminar, private meeting with founder of the Shakespeare Festival, Fred Adams, Fun For Less Tours Staff, Shakespeare Festival programs, back stage tours, costumes seminar, special meal at Rusty’s Ranch House, and special guest educator - Dr. S. Michael Wilcox.

July 16th Silver Package Only: $954* July 19th Gold Package Only: $994* *Per person cash discount price, based on double occupancy. Abbey Inn accomodations or similar, does not include transportation.

We will then follow the legacy-rich path of the saints from Palmyra to Kirtland, on to Independence, Far West, Adam-ondi-Ahman, Liberty Jail and then finally into Nauvoo and Carthage. We will not be traveling by wagon train - we are going to fly from Kirtland to Independence! Flying eliminates two full days of traveling by bus (and two months if traveling by wagon.) Along with our own prepared manual, each bus will have qualified educators and escorts that have been to the Church History sites before. All of our Special Educators have been teachers in the Church Education and seminary programs.

BOOK of MORMON "land cruise" 7 day "land cruise" - June 9, 2018 with Eric Towner

Castillo fortress at sunrise in the ancient Mayan city of Tulum, Mexico (only visited on our "Land Cruise")

Why do we love to cruise? You only unpack once – all of the meals are included – fun nightly entertainment, quiet places to relax and read a book – wonderful places to visit and much more. It is time to step up to the next level – a fantastic “Land Cruise”. When you take a deluxe resort and locate it on a wonderful beach, add the amenities a cruise offers, you end up with a vacation that is better than a cruise. Take a look at our “apples to apples” comparison we have made to the least expensive Caribbean Cruise on Royal Caribbean out of Florida in 2015 and what our Western Caribbean “Land Cruise” has to offer.

Comparing Apples to Apples

Comparing our June 11 “Land Cruise” to The Least Expensive Royal Caribbean Cruise From Florida on the least expensive ship and the ship’s least expensive small inside cabin.

• Small Inside Cabin: 1,199 + 98.41 Ship Taxes + 91 expected tips = $1,388.41 • The almost $1,400 does not include: • Shore Excursions – You could easily spend hundreds more.

• Transfers to and from the ship – you could easily spend $50 or more.

• Drinks including soft drinks – would cost around $75.

• The needed hotel before going to the ship – approx. $75.

• Fun For Less Tours Staff & our guest Educator.

• With transfers, shore excursions, drinks and the needed hotel before the cruise you could easily be over $1,700 per person to take a Caribbean cruise in June. Compare the least expensive Royal Caribbean cruise above to our FANTASTIC “Land Cruise” package pricing on the following page.
