RARE OPPORTUNITY
Rarely have we found the right cruise that includes Greenland. Greenland is that one pin on the map that is hard to come by. In 2025, we found a wonderful cruise with Holland America that starts in Boston and then travels up through Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Labrador, (the remote parts of Canada), before arriving in Greenland. After two stops in Greenland, it is off to Iceland and Norway, before ending in the Netherlands. Between our cruise and our land tour, you will also experience the Scandinavian Countries of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The ship stops in Norway and also visits one of the stunning Norwegian Fjords. After the cruise, we have added a Land Tour that includes flights, hotels and tours in Sweden and Denmark. Even if you have been to the Scandinavia countries before this cruise has many sights you likely have never been to: Sydney, Nova Scotia - Corner Brook Newfoundland - Red Bay, Labrador – Paamiut, Greenland – Nanortalik Greenland – scenic cruising through Prince Christian Sound, Greenland – Isafjordur Iceland – scenic cruising through safjardardjur Fjord, Iceland – Akureyri, Iceland – scenic cruising Eyjafjordur Fjord, Iceland – Eidfjord, Norway – Scenic cruising Hardanger fjord and Rotterdam, Netherlands. Between the cruise and our tour in the Scandinavian Countries - this really is a trip of a lifetime.

Another Special Highlight:
As part of his lectures, Michael Wilcox is going to go through the history of the Pilgrims that came to America on the Mayflower. Before we board the ship in Boston, we are going to Plymouth Rock to visit the replica of the Mayflower followed by a stop at the wonderful Plymouth Plantation that is like a living museum as you step back in time to what it was like when the Pilgrims first arrived. Than at the other end in Rotterdam after getting off our ship, we will visit the site where the Pilgrims started their journey to America.

INDIA Tour
with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest
18 day tour - October 20, 2025
Live Like Royalty in the 475 year old Samode Palace
Why Now is the Best Time to Explore India.
We build our India tours around the rare opportunity to visit the best part of the Pushkar Festival that only happens during 5 days each year. The timing of the festival for 2025 has allowed us to design our tour with advantages we have not had in the past.
Here is why you should choose 2025 as the year to take our tour to India:
• The purchase power of the dollar this year compared to past years: In the past for every dollar we traded for Indian Rupees (India’s money), we received somewhere between 42 to 50 Rupees. This year for every dollar we are able to get over 80 Rupees per dollar. This is the best exchange rate we have ever seen. We are purchasing the Indian Rupees now and putting them in the bank to insure the huge savings for our 2025 group. No one knows when the number of Rupees per dollar will go back into the 40s per dollar.
• Pushkar Festival: As part of your tour, you will have the rare opportunity to experience the famous Pushkar Festival. The Pushkar Festival is considered the oldest festival in the world. It has been held annually for over 1,000 years. National Geographic created a list of the ten places you should see before you die. Pushkar Festival was on that list. Less than 2% of the visitors to India get the opportunity to attend a Pushkar Festival.
• The date of the Pushkar Festival fluctuates from year to year, at times causing the tour dates of the tour to go over Thanksgiving. In 2025, the festival is held at a time that does not cause our passengers to be gone over Thanksgiving.
The Quality of Hotels Are Critical in India
The quality of hotels in India can make or break your tour. Most 3, 4 and even some 5-star hotels are not up to US standards. Almost all of our luxury hotels are their own gated community with large private areas, pools and manicured gardens AND most important – they have the highest quality of food that is needed when you are traveling in a 3rd world country. Our hotels, for the most part beat 5-star US standards. Taj is one of the top hotel brands in the world, exceeding Hilton, Marriott and others. Many of our hotels in India are in Taj hotels. Your tour includes real 5-star opulent luxury palaces (built by Maharajas), along with 5-star luxurious hotels! Here is a list of hotels we expect to use on your tour: the 5-star Taj Palace, Hotel Deli (found on lists of top hotels in the world) – The 5-star Marriott Hotel Kathmandu – The 5-star Taj Ganges in Varanasi (with 42 acres of gardens) - the 5-star Jaypee Palace Agra in its own vast expanse of greenery and gardens. The 5-star Taj Mahal Palace in Jaipur, with over 17 acres of manicured gardens and pools – The 5-star Taj Hari Mahal in Jodhpur, with 6 acres of private gardens and pools – The 5-star Pushkara Resort and Spa with its 9 acres of private property – the 475 year old 5-star Samode Palace, the grounds are huge covering the canyon it is in, plus the surrounding hills and the fortress on top of the hills. Normally you have to arrange 2 years in advance to stay in this special palace. The owners know the Prince that owns the palace and he has decided to let us have the whole palace for our groups stay. We all stay in the main palace not in the wings surrounding the gardens.
INDIA TOUR

18 day tour - October 20, 2025
Kathmandu, Nepal
A FEW of the Fantastic Highlights you’re going to experience
India will amaze you, everyone we take to India, comes away stating “it was their best trip anywhere in the world”. You need to move it to the top of your bucket list.
Here is a small list of the highlights you will experience:
· Kathmandu, Nepal: you will love the ancient architecture and old villages.
· Flight to Mt. Everest: We charter planes to give you views of Mt Everest.
· The Ganges: Most tours do not include Varanasi and the sacred river, the Ganges. In the Hindu religion, the river Ganges is revered as a goddess whose purity cleanses the sins of the faithful and aids the dead on their path toward heaven. You will witness some of their religious traditions.
· The Taj Mahal: Considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
· The Jaipur Amber Palace: you will ride elephants to the top of the hill containing the Amber Fort made out of pale yellow and pink sandstone, along with white marble. A true highlight.
· Jodhpur the Blue City: Blue is considered a sacred color. Settlers in the region dabbed their houses in blue hues. Jodhpur has become known as the blue city.
· The massive Mehrangarth Fort in Jodhpur: This is the most beautiful ancient fortress palace in all of India and should not be missed.
· Pushkar Festival: With so few days in a year that the 1,000 year old festival is held and so few places to stay in the out of the way Pushkar area, very few tourists are ever able to experience the Pushkar Festival. Most have to stay in tent camps, but we have one of the few 5-star resort hotels for our passengers. This is only available to our passengers because of connections the owners of Fun For Less Tours have in India.
· Maharaja Palaces: Many of them are so stunning that they become an attraction unto themselves. We usually leave early and return around 4pm back to the Maharaja Palaces. This gives our passengers time to leisurely explore the beautiful grounds, take a swim in some of the beautiful swimming pools and enjoy dinner on patios overlooking the manicured gardens.
· The Country of Bhutan: Few, if any, tourists ever get permission to visit Bhutan – stepping back in time where little has changed in hundreds of years. This is an optional extension, but if you have time and have the money we highly recommend it. Bhutan wants to limit the number of tourists. One of the ways is that they charge $200 a day per tourist, in addition to any visas, flights, hotels and other expenses related to the trip. That means, with our group staying 4 nights, we are paying between $800 and $1,000 per person just for the right to enter Bhutan. Expensive, but we believe it is worth it.

“Tiger’s Nest” Himalayan Buddhist Temple - Bhutan Optional 5 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 1970s.
Bhutan’s ancient Buddhist culture, friendly people and breathtaking scenery makes 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!!!!

Europe’s Most Popular River Cruise - Combined with a Phenomenal Land Tour
The Romantic Danube is the most popular cruise itinerary in all of Europe! Our Romantic Danube combined with our specially designed Land Tour – is the best tour combination of a tour and cruise in all of Europe!!! It includes so many great cities and places to visit.
HUGE, HUGE, HUGE Bonus: We recently had a group that returned from a country, few of you have ever been to or even considered going. It was such a highlight, everyone and we do mean everyone – said we needed to add the country of Slovenia to our Romantic Danube Cruise. When you get off of the Romantic Danube cruise in Budapest we are headed to Ljubljana, Slovenia for 2.5 days of touring that will include, Bled Lake, Bled Castle, The Predjama Castle, and the Postojnska Cave. The Predjama Castle is the world’s largest cave castle that has over 1,000 years of history. The Postojnska Cave, the Queen of all caves, is the most captivating cave in the world. You will marvel at the stunning beauty of this cave and enjoy a one-of-a-kind train ride through an underground cave.
Finish in Venice: On our last day in Slovenia, it is a short drive from the Predjama Castle to Venice. After checking into our Venice hotel we will take a boat into the Marco Square in Venice to enjoy an evening of walking the Venice canals and eating at one of the many sidewalk cafes – before returning to our hotel.
Here is a partial list of the many highlights on our combined Danube cruise and our added land package:
• Prague, Czech Republic: Has over 1,000 years of history. It competes as one of the top cities in Europe to visit. The massive Prague Castle, along with Prague’s many unique bridges over the Vitava River and its Old Town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site will be a huge highlight.
• Nuremberg: Home of Hitler and the Third Reich, Wonderful Castle, and one of the best preserved ancient Old Towns in Europe.
• Rothenberg ob der Tabor: One of the oldest and best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe (our favorite). We spend two nights in this romantic ancient walled city. It will be a highlight of highlights.
• Passau, Germany: Famous for its architecture with many buildings featuring Gothic and Baroque architecture.
• Salzburg, Austria: A beautiful picturesque city with its massive Hohensalzburg Fortress high above the rooftops of the historic district. Enjoy the “Sound of Music”, Wolfgang Mozart, along with the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town and you have a city that needs to be at the top of your bucket list.
• Vienna, Austria: It’s artistic and intellectual legacy as shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud.
• Bratislava, Slovakia: It is a great stop, in another country – Slovakia.
• Budapest, Hungary: Split by the Danube River Buda on one side and Pest on the other, became known as Budapest. Another beautiful city with so much to see and experience. One of the biggest highlights will be viewing the city after dark on the Danube River as the whole city lights up.

NETHERLANDS & BELGIUM TULIP CRUISE
14 day cruise/tour - April 11, 2025 with Jeff Lawson
This is one of the most impressive cruises you can take in Europe! Calling it a Tulip Cruise is a bit misleading – yes, the stunning tulips are a sight to behold and the beautiful fields of tulips should not be missed – BUT, they are only a small part of this fantastic cruise experience that awaits you.
Here is a small list of some of the many highlights:
• The Romantic Village of Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: What could be more romantic and inspiring than a place that looks like a backdrop for a fairy tale? The medieval overtones of Bruges’ cobblestone streets lead to countless historical, architectural and artistic wonders. With its many canals, it is considered more beautiful than Amsterdam.
• The Ancient town of Ghent is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: Ghent is considered the most beautiful city in Belgium. Its city center is a pedestrian area that is like a museum of medieval architecture. Impressive Gothic sites, such as the dramatic St. Bavo's Cathedral and the Castle of the Counts.
• The Grand Palace in Brussels is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: Impressive is not a strong enough word to explain what you will witness when we visit this old central square of Brussels, Belgium. It is surrounded by opulent Baroque guildhalls of the former Guilds of Brussels and two larger edifices; the city's Flamboyant Town Hall, and the neo-Gothic King's House or Bread House building, containing the Brussels City Museum.
• Kinderdijk a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a village in the Netherlands' South Holland province, known for its iconic 18th-century windmills. Its water-management network features 19 wind mills, plus dikes and reservoirs that control flooding in the polder (low-lying land). Waterways, footpaths and bike trails crisscross the area.
• Keukenhof Gardens – Keukenhof gardens is known as the "Garden of Europe" for its terrific tulip displays. It is also the largest flower garden in the world covering 80 acres of likely the most beautiful landscaping and flowers you will ever see. With over 7,000,000 stunning tulips, over 800 different variety of tulips and 9 miles of foot paths, all with beautiful settings - it is too large to visit in one visit. We will actually visit the Keukenhof Gardens twice for about 4 hours each time. One will be at the beginning of our tour and the other time will be almost two weeks later near the end of your cruise.
• The Dikes of Holland: Much of Holland is below the water level. You will experience driving on dikes that on one side is the water and the other side way below the dike you’re driving on, is the land and villages that would be completely below water if the dikes were to break.
• Amsterdam: We will enjoy the best of Amsterdam, its windmills, canals and Ann Frank's House. We will even take a ride on a boat through many of of the canals.
If you enjoy beauty, if you enjoy medieval villages, if you love river cruising and you want one of the best river cruises in Europe – then our Tulip Cruise that includes the best that the Netherlands and Belgium have to offer is running out of space. You need to act now!
The owners of Fun For Less Tours experienced a Tulip Cruise in 2019. They already know how wonderful Amsterdam is with its canals, windmills and museums and they had already visited Bruges, that is considered better than Amsterdam. The cruise took them to new villages and areas they had not visited in the past. They loved every minute of their experience! It was their first time to visit the Dikes that hold back the sea, the village of Hoorn, the Grott Bijgaarden Castle Floral Show, Ghent - the most beautiful city in Belgium AND the famous Keukenhoff Gardens. They had visited the Tulip Gardens at Thanksgiving Point in Utah, with their 250,000 tulips – but, after seeing the Keukenhof Gardens with their over 7,000,000 tulips – they were left speechless!
Timing is important – AmaWaterways offers many Tulip Cruises – but there is a small window of time that the opportunity to see the most tulips in bloom - we were able to get the PERFECT timed cruise to get the most out of your Tulip Cruise.
Important Note on Pricing: With all of the Tulip Cruises selling out with AmaWaterways, they at first did not want to give any charter pricing. It is only because of our history of the large number of charters we have been able to fill that they finally agreed to give us charter pricing on our Tulip Cruise – even though the amount of discount is not as great as it is on our other European River cruises, we were more than thankful we were able to get what we could. The total savings per person for our Tulip Cruise with the Netherlands and Belgium is $800 per person off of AmaWaterways pricing.
NETHERLANDS & BELGIUM
TULIP CRUISE
14 day cruise/tour - April 11, 2025 with Jeff Lawson
This Special Luxurious Tulip Cruise and Land Tour combine TWO Packages. The 5-Star Luxury Tulip Cruise throughout the Netherlands and Belgium with AmaWaterways and our Land Tour that is also in the Netherlands and Belgium, visiting the wonderful sights the cruise ship does not include. Important note: AmaWaterways does not like to discount or allow charters during the prime sailing times at the height of the tulip season. We were only able to get an exception because of the huge number of charters we do throughout the year. Our special charter pricing will not be found anywhere else. On average, we save you $800 per person less than what the ship charges when combined with our land tour.
Package Price includes both our Land Tour and Luxury 8 Day 7 Night AmaWaterways Tulip Cruise: AmaWaterways Ship
• $3,898 Upgraded Category D Cabin with Two LARGE Port Hole Windows.
• Minus $800 per person Charter Savings.
• $3,098 Actual price you pay for Cat D Cabin.

A Comparison Note:
The BEST time to experience the Tulips, in the Netherlands, is Mid-April To Mid-May. National Geographic and Fun For Less Tours both use the #1 River Cruise line in Europe – AmaWaterways doing the exact same itinerary on the same quality of ship. The National Geographic ship sails April 6 before the best time to see the Tulips – Our ship sails April 17 – during the best Tulip time. National Geographic includes an educator –we ALSO include an educator. National Geographic offers only the cruise – we include the cruise AND 6 additional days of touring – our price includes all of the additional 4-Star Deluxe Hotels, along with all the needed buses, guides and entrance fees during the 6 additional days. National Geographic Charges $5,895 for a D cabin, cruise only! We charge $5,295 for a D cabin INCLUDING the additional 6 days of touring. When it comes to quality and education – we compete with the big boys – but deliver far more for less money. No one can deliver what we deliver in quality and pricing!
• All transfers, if you booked our group airfare or your flight arrives on or before and departs after our Fun For Less group flights.
• Fun For Less Tours Staff.
• Use of quality headset receivers.
• All land & hotel taxes.

“We
We have wanted to do Japan for years, and in 6 or 7 days you can see the best of what Japan has to offer. We finally decided the best solution was to combine our S.E. Exotic Asia cruise and tour with a land tour of Japan. With high speed trains we can see the best of the best in 5 to 6 days of touring. Here is an overview of what we consider to be the SECOND BEST TOUR IN THE WORLD!!! Only China beats out this tour in the number of fantastic highlight days! This needs to be at the top of your list of places you need to see and experience. Here is a partial list of the highlights with this tour and cruise:
Vietnam & Cambodia:
• Angkor Wat: The BEST ruins in the world. Beating out the Taj Mahal, Petra, Machu Picchu and even the Pyramids.
• 5-Star Luxury AmaWaterways Cruise Ship on the Mekong river between Ho Chi Min and outside of Siem Reap. You will enjoy every stop as the ship stops at ancient small villages where life hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years.
• Hanoi and Ho Chi Min: The world has changed since the Vietnam war - the Vietnamese love Americans. Hanoi is one of the most picturesque cities in all of Asia.
• Halong Bay: On the list of the most beautiful places on earth. Your wonderful boat ride will take you through many of the thousands of small islands made up of towering limestone sticking out of the water.
Thailand:
• Bangkok: Exotic and wonderful. The golden temples and palaces of the kings that have ruled Thailand for a 1,000 years are simply stunning!!!
• Chiang Mai: Many of our passengers have labeled it their single best day of touring anywhere in the world. The day includes a visit to Tiger Kingdom, where you will have an opportunity to pet a tiger or play with baby tigers. The picture above is one of the owner's grandchildren at Tiger Kingdom. You will also see an amazing elephant show, followed by riding elephants through the jungles and across streams. The day also includes a visit to the Long Neck Tribe, where the women put steel rings around their necks to stretch them. A highlight day to beat all other highlight days.
The #1 Airline in the World: Singapore Air
• Singapore Airlines gives us great rates into Hanoi and home from Tokyo.
• They allow a stopover in Singapore, which gives us time to do a wonderful tour of Singapore before continuing to Hanoi.
Japan:
• Cherry Blossom Season: Experience the staggering beauty of Japan's Cherry Blossoms. We have reviewed the last 8 years of when the cherry blossom season occurs. Mother Nature can never fully be predictable, but the time we have scheduled for your tour along with the past several years have all worked out. The odds are in our favor.
• Osaka and Kyoto: Castles and more. The best part of Japan.
• High-Speed Trains: With trains that travel at speeds reaching over 200 miles an hour it is only a short ride to the other best areas of Japan.
• Hiroshima: It is sad, but a must to visit.
• Mt. Fuji: We plan to take a boat ride to view Mt. Fuji
• Tokyo: The vast amount of high rises are amazing.

ULTIMATE AFRICA by Luxury Train

16 day train tour - June 2, 2025 with Diane Prince
Before we charter a train or ship, the owners have to experience it first, to check out the quality and itinerary. There were six things that convinced them they needed to charter trains in Africa for our passengers:
• Rovos Rail: Our exclusive Africa train charters are through Rovas Rail. Considered by many to be the most luxurious train in the world! Rovos Rail harkens back to a simpler, more elegant era encompassing the timeless grace and high romance of African exploration. With vintage wood-paneled coaches and open lounge areas, the train is its own highlight. The train can carry up to 72 passengers in 36 superbly appointed suites.
• Bathrooms and Showers: On our Africa luxury trains EVERY cabin has an attached private bathroom. On our Siberia and Silk Road Trains, that we have chartered, very few cabins included an attached bathroom and shower. the majority of the cabins did not have a private bathroom attached to their cabin. They did have shared public toilets and showers in each car. Having the luxury of having a bathroom attached to each train cabin was impressive.
• Charter Pricing: They offered us huge savings if we chartered the whole train. Buying the Rovas Rail train through other companies for a similar 15-day trip would run over $10,000 or more per person. With our private exclusive charter – your price for the same Elephant Cabin with its own bathroom is only $7,995 per person. That is a discount of about $2,000 per person. And even on the train we do more, we have included our Educator and Tour Managers that will be with you for your whole trip.
• Open Lounge Cars: The Siberia Trains and the Silk Road Trains do not include a lounge car for socializing, reading or playing games. Our Africa Train has two lounge cars where guests can gather with large windows to look out. They also have an area where you can step outside onto an open-air deck to take pictures. Impressive is the best word to describe the luxury train.
• Great Itinerary: We stay two nights in Zambia. Our hotel is located at Victoria Falls. It has its own private entrance to the falls so our passengers can visit it more than once while staying at our wonderful hotel. We then cross the border into Zimbabwe where we board our Luxury Train. From there your luxurious train travels down through Zimbabwe into South Africa and the famous Kruger Park, before heading into the country of Eswatini (formally Swaziland) and before heading to Johannesburg and Pretoria, the Capital of South Africa.
Optional Extension:
The train Itinerary misses some of the best of South Africa, along with the countries of Botswana and Lesotho. With our optional extension package you can add an additional 7 days of touring that will include additional safaris, airfares, the Zulu Tribe, Cape Town, Durban, St. Lucia, a 4 wheel drive from sea level to 11,000 feet through canyons that look like the grand canyon covered in moss - a huge highlight and so much more. We highly recommend adding this extension. You're already in the neighborhood, now is the time to experience it all.
16 Day Private Luxury Train Package includes:
• 2 nights 4-star in Avani Victoria Falls Resort.
• As close as you can get to Victoria Falls – the grounds have zebras grazing on the lawn and giraffes ambling by.
• Private Luxury Train from Victoria Falls to Johannesburg in Elephant Cabins with private bathrooms.

• Three meals a day on the train.

Exotic Morocco
Every day is another huge highlight day on this special newly designed tour and cruise. You are going to love every minute, but most of all you’re going to love Morocco! There isn’t room to share how exciting and wonderful Morocco is. The Tyndall family, who owns Fun For Less Tours, crossed from Spain to Morocco by ferry for their inspection tour of Morocco. Upon arrival they found a driver of a van and hired him off the street to take them all over Morocco. Hiring a stranger off the streets in Tangier, Morocco, to drive your family for several days throughout Morocco, is not what we recommend for our passengers to do. But for the Tyndall family it was the best way to explore and experience everything in Morocco. It also shows how safe they felt in Morocco. Because of the movie Casablanca it may be the most famous city in Morocco, but the best of the best can be found in Marrakesh. You are going to love the medieval walled city that makes up part of Marrakesh AND you will never forget the carnivallike atmosphere of Marrakesh at night. The huge square becomes a gigantic flea market – filled with numerous sellers of wares, street performers, and snake charmers playing a pungi (their wind instrument) to their cobras. This will be a highlight you will remember forever! We also visit the impressive mountains near Marrakesh.
Come join us on our fantastic 21-day Exotic Morocco, Spain and Portugal Tour and Cruise with your educator. Celebrity Cruise line has been voted the BEST Premium Cruise Line! Between the cruise and tour, you will experience a Mediterranean Cruise, the very best of Spain, Portugal, Morocco and the Rock of Gibraltar. Package

THE EXOTIC SILK ROAD TOUR
by Chartered Private Train
19 day train tour - September 15, 2025 with Jeff Lawson
“We
Jim and Carol Tyndall, along with Jamie, their daughter (owners of Fun For Less Tours), were able to experience this fantastic part of the world on a private train. At the time, the train was not visiting Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan. Knowing the train missed the countries of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, they went in early to explore the areas the train missed. Even though they had all traveled to over a hundred countries, they knew almost nothing about Central Asia and its history of the Silk Road. To say they were overwhelmed with the ancient beauty and the people – would be an understatement. To Jim, Carol and Jamie it shot right up near the top of all the places they have ever visited. After the trip, they agreed to charter the whole train for our groups – BUT, they needed to redesign the train's itinerary and needed to add the countries of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. A train is not like a bus that you can just take a different road, pull over almost anywhere and stop or park. Getting permission to travel by rail, wanting to stop and park your train like a bus is not easy. It took close to a year of working with all of the governments and local train companies to get permission to change our itinerary and add the additional two Stans - Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, The only reason this is possible, is because we are chartering the whole train, changing the itinerary, and adding additional nights on the train.
A Few Things to Consider:
• The huge price savings from our chartering the whole train. As far as we know, no one has ever chartered the entire private train through the Silk Road in Central Asia. Chartering the whole train created huge savings. Our price on the train is $1,300 per person less than what the train company charges when it is not a charter AND they do not include all 4 countries and our improved itinerary! That is only reserved for our charters.
• NO LONG DRIVES! On Jim and Carol’s trip they met many people traveling through the Silk Road by bus. When they asked how they liked their tour, everyone said they loved the sites, and the hotels, but the long drives were exhausting and grueling! They spent ½ of their time or more doing long drives. There were many days of driving that were 6 hours or more before they reached the next area to tour. Then when they arrived, they were given less time than they would have liked to see the sights. WE HAVE NO LONG DRIVES! We will travel by train at night and then tour during the day. Some of the bus travelers they met said they had looked at the train but it only visited 2 of the Stan countries. They wanted all 4, so they went by bus. You will get all 4 Stans without any long drives, plus you will have plenty of time to enjoy the many beautiful sites. Please, Please, Please listen to us. This is the BEST designed tour of the Silk Road, the BEST in hotels, the BEST deluxe train – All at the BEST price you will ever see!! We have chartered the whole train for this tour.
If you want to experience one of the most unique and exotic tours in the world, while traveling on a luxury train – this needs to jump to the top of your list. No other tour in the world can deliver what this tour does.

SHAKESPEARE 2024
4 day trip - July 29, 2024 with Dr. Michael Wilcox
Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre
Look at the fantastic line-up of plays for 2024
THE ENGELSTAD SHAKESPEARE THEATRE
HENRY VIII - Following the story of a ruthless race to power and the desire for a male heir, this history play presents a monarch facing a series of struggles and crises. King Henry VIII is wrestling with his legacy of not having a male heir, and this flows directly from his concern that God is punishing the king for having married his brother’s widow, Katherine. He listens too closely to his duplicitous adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, who may have his own interest at heart, while the honorable Duke Buckingham is convicted of treason. Through a series of events, Henry–and the kingdom–are in a historic crisis that will forever change the direction of the empire.
A WINTER’S TALE - King Leontes’s jealousy and rage sparks the action in this beloved Shakespearean romance. Driven by nothing but his own unfounded suspicions, Leontes falsely accuses his wife Hermione of infidelity with his closest friend and dire consequences follow. Focusing on themes of betrayal, loss, and forgiveness, this play winds toward love and redemption to make it one of the Bard’s most beautiful and satisfying plays.
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW - The bold, spirited, and headstrong Katherina is deemed unworthy of marriage while suitors pursue her younger sister Bianca. Their father refuses to let his younger daughter marry until an appropriate match is made for the elder, which Petruchio accepts as a challenge. However, Katherina will not be tamed so easily. Their dastardly deeds and heated battles hurl this comedy toward its end. And in Petruchio’s journey to make Katherina a compliant and obedient bride, they both learn more about what being an equal partner really means.
THE RANDALL JONES THEATRE
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING - Meet Beatrice and Benedick, two people who are the perfect romantic match. So, of course, they hate each other. Their battle of words and wits presents Shakespeare’s best verbal battles-of-the-sexes sparring while everyone around them conspire to join these two in romance. Meanwhile, Beatrice’s cousin Hero is happily in love with Claudio, so of course, a plot by the malcontent Don Juan causes trouble for the pair. How will the mishaps, mistakes, and misunderstandings resolve for love to be discovered and endure?
THE 39 STEPS - This humorous play follows an innocent man accused of a crime who must clear his name. Richard Hannay finds himself entwined with Annabella Schmidt, a spy. The next day, he wakes to find her dead. The farce careens from place to place and muddle to mess. Not only is the story a fast-paced “whodunit” comedy with only four actors––balancing suspense, nonstop comedy, and a little splash of romance––it is a highly stylized theatrical romp that leaves you laughing and amazed.
ANES STUDIO THEATRE
THE MOUNTAINTOP - Taking place on the last night of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,’s life, The Mountaintop transports audience members to the Lorraine Motel where King confronts his mortality and legacy. As he prepares his speech for the following day, King orders a cup of coffee, and the woman who arrives brings more than just that. Although fictional, this witty, magical, and poetic play propels the audience to better understand the human behind one of America’s best known leaders.
“I’d rather see Shakespeare in Cedar City than in Stratford, England. My experiences have been better there. This is a professional theatre rated among the top three Shakespeare festivals in North America.”
– Dr. Michael Wilcox
Michael has seen all of the Shakespeare 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 comedies, or Broadway-type plays. Michael helps all of us understand each of Shakespeare’s plays 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.
Our BEST Seating!
Before tickets are open to the public to purchase, it is offered to those that contribute money or time to the Shakespeare Festival. Then they allow Fun For Less to purchase our group tickets before opening them to the public. This makes it possible for us to get great seating for our group.

WHY WE ARE NOT TRAVELING BY BUS
With so many of our passengers coming from other cities and states, we felt it would work better having you drive to Cedar City. We will not be including transportation to and from Cedar City or to any of the festival’s activities.
