With the huge number of Tour and Cruise postponements in 2020 and then again in 2021, that had to be moved to 2022, many of our tours and cruises for 2022 are already sold out and those that are not sold out have only a limited amount of space left. We highly recommend you act fast on the Tour or Cruise you have interest in and immediately give us a call before it is sold out.

Eur o p e’s Mo st Po pu la r R iver C ru is e I t in era r y The Romantic Danube is the most popular cruise itinerary in all of Europe! Before we had to cancel all of our 2020 Passion Play Tours and Cruises, we had 12 groups scheduled on Romantic Danube Cruises that included Oberammergau and its Passion Play. In comparison, we had 4 Rhine River Groups that included Oberammergau and its Passion Play. The Romantic Danube includes so many great cities and places to visit: • 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 that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site will be a huge highlight. • Salzburg, Austria: A beautiful picturesque city with its massive Hohensalzburg Fortress high above the rooftops of the historic district. It is the biggest fully preserved castle in Central Europe. Add 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. • Munich, Germany: The old town with its impressive Marienplatz square, has been the center of Munich since the 12th century. It is the Bavarian Capital, home to centuries-old buildings and the history that involves Mad King Ludwig and his family. • Neuschwanstein Castle: We plan to see this fairytale-like castle, often referred to as the Disney Castle. The fairytale look of the Neuschwanstein castle inspired Walt Disney to create the Magic Kingdom Castle. • Austrian Lake District: One of the most beautiful picturesque areas in the world. • Vienna, Austria: Its artistic and intellectual legacy as shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial Palaces, including the Schonbrunn Palace that we will visit. • 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. • Oberammergau, Germany: Simply put – this is the highlight of highlights in 2022 with its once in a lifetime Passion Play. We made our reservations for our 4-Star Deluxe Hotels and for the BEST seating for the Passion Play in 2016. With the postponement of the Passion Play from 2020 to 2022, our special reservations were kept in place for 2022!

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
New!
This is a brand-new AmaWaterways Cruise we are introducing in 2023. The owners of Fun For Less Tours, after experiencing this cruise and itinerary, knew it should go directly to the top of everyone’s list – we had to offer it to our passengers! Michel Wilcox, who loves France and even speaks French, jumped at the chance to be part of this special cruise and tour. The “Colors of Provence” is the right name. During the summer in Southern France, most every window and building in the villages and cities are adorned in beautiful flowers, BUT the best time of all is when the South of France is covered in Lavender fields. There are certain places in the world that have the greatest highlights in a very short period of time, like being in the Netherlands during the short tulip season or being in Japan during the short Cherry blossom season – that is what it is like being in the South of France during the short Lavender blossom season. You not only experience all the normal beautiful flowers, you will also be blown away with the staggering beauty of the Lavender fields. The best time to see the beautiful Lavender fields is between mid-June to mid-July! We hit it perfectly as we board our AmaWaterways Cruise ship on June 29, setting sail through the heart of the best area to enjoy Lavender fields and ancient cobblestone villages.
Our fantastic itinerary includes a lot more than Lavender fields. Here is a partial list of highlights you will enjoy on this specially designed tour:
• Carcassonne: Our owner’s favorite walled city in the world to stay in. They have stayed many times throughout the years inside the walled city of Carcassonne. They want you to have the same phenomenal experience. Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, along with many others were filmed in this fantastic medieval walled village and castle. • French Riviera: Highlights include Nice, Monte Carlo, and the ancient walled village of Eze • Avignon France: In the 1300’s the headquarters of the Catholic Church was moved from Rome to Avignon, France. 7 Popes oversaw the catholic church from Avignon. Visiting their massive spacious palace will be a huge highlight. • Ancient picturesque villages, along with fields of Lavender, will be an experience you will never forget as we sail on the Rhone River. • Lyon, France: So many wonderful things to enjoy in Lyon, well preserved ancient Roman Ruins, the saint Maurice Cathedral that took more than 500 years to build, the city’s historic region that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and so much more. • Loire Valley: If it’s the French splendor you seek, the Lorie Valley will exceed your expectations, no matter how great! Kings, Queens, Dukes, and Nobles came here to establish feudal castles and palaces. It is said there are over 1,000 Châteaux and Palaces in the Loire Valley. This will be a highlight of highlights on this special tour and cruise. • Paris, France: Even if you have been to Paris before, who doesn’t love spending time in Paris.

This might be the ultimate experience; the study of Christ through the Holy Lands combined with Oberammergau’s Passion Play. We have designed this special tour to include the BEST of the Holy Lands, along with Oberammergau’s wonderful Passion Play. It has so much to offer. You will attend the wonderful Passion Play in Oberammergau and to top it all off you will spend a week walking where Jesus walked in Israel. The icing on the cake is the addition of Jordan and Egypt. A chance to do all of this on one trip only happens every 10 years. This once in a lifetime tour of Israel will visit many sites that other tours miss, some even leave off Bethlehem. Our special Holy Land Tour includes all of the important sites in Israel such as Jerusalem, Garden Tomb, Galilee, Bethlehem, Masada, the Dead Sea, and more. It also includes Petra in Jordan. We will also be doing a fantastic Egypt tour & Nile Cruise that includes: Cairo, the Pyramids, King Tut’s Treasures in the Cairo Museum, Luxor, Karnack Temple (more impressive than the Pyramids), Luxor Temple, a three-night luxury cruise on the Nile and so much more. This once in a lifetime tour will visit many sites that others are not able to see when they go to Israel. For example; the City of Lehi excavations, located a short distance down from Jerusalem. This is where caves were discovered with writings on the inside walls. It was determined that the writings were by a prophet in hiding that dates approx. 600 BC. The Arabs have considered the hill above the cave to be a sacred place. As they put it – “before Mohamed there was a great prophet named Lehi and he taught from that hill.” Even the archaeologists in Jerusalem now call the area Beit Lehi. 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.

Scenic views, Banff National Park Alberta Canada This trip is so phenomenal we should rename it The Ultimate Majestic Canadian Rockies Train Tour. The train travels for two full days during daylight hours from Vancouver to Banff through the Majestic Canadian Rockies. The rest of our specially designed tour is not offered by anyone else. We travel by bus and stay in the very hard to get luxurious Fairmont Hotels. The Rocky Mountaineer Train has been voted many times – “The Best Train Trip in the World”! We wanted the best for our passengers, so all of our passengers will be traveling in “The Best Train Trip in the World” Luxury First Class GoldLeaf Train Cars! They offer two classes of service, SilverLeaf and GoldLeaf. The SilverLeaf Train Cars have large windows but not domed windows, they serve the meals at your seat and do not include the top luxury hotels. This is not what we wanted for our passengers. All of our passengers will be traveling in the GoldLeaf Train Cars! The Luxury GoldLeaf Train Cars are two levels or two stories, with an elevator. The upper area is the luxury “first-class” seating area with a completely domed glass roof, creating unobstructed views from every seat. On the bottom level of each GoldLeaf Car is a 5-star restaurant only open to those in that GoldLeaf Car. All meals on the train are included. In the GoldLeaf Cars you will indulge your senses with gourmet meals prepared by Executive Chefs. Also, on the bottom floor of every GoldLeaf Car is an exclusive outdoor viewing platform. Throughout the two days of travel by train, you can step outside onto your outdoor viewing platform to enjoy the fresh air or to take that perfect picture. The BEST part of traveling in the Luxury GoldLeaf program is that you qualify to stay in the BEST luxury hotels in Canada – the Luxury Fairmont Hotels.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
MAJESTIC CANADIAN ROCKIES 15 day train tour - August 23, 2022
The Majestic Canadian Rockies by Train was Voted 7 years in a row as “The BEST Train Trip in the World”.
Few, if any have the quality of Hotels we have!
Getting the hotels we want for our passengers has become almost impossible. The Rocky Mountaineer Train Company, with upwards of 900 passengers a day arriving into the different cities, have overwhelmed hotels in many of the cities they visit. Rocky Mountaineer Train Company controls most of the group contracts with many of the hotels in the area. Their volume of passengers has been so high that it has become impossible to fill the large volume of requests for the Luxury Fairmont Hotels. GoldLevel passengers will maybe get two Fairmonts and then have to settle for lesser quality or different 5-Star hotels in the area. At one point, they asked if our groups would be willing to stay in 5-Star constructed tents in an area or two. They had more travelers than they could accommodate when it came to the luxurious hotels. We finally gave up after weeks and weeks of trying different dates seeing if we could get all the hotels we wanted. When they could no longer grant our requests for the Fairmonts we wanted, we stopped traveling with them. We just stopped taking groups. If we couldn’t have what we wanted for our passengers, we weren’t interested. After more than two years of no bookings from us, they took notice and sent someone to talk to us about coming back and booking again. We told them we would come in 2021, but only if they could give us what we wanted, otherwise we have enough going on that we didn’t need them. They said they would go to work on getting us what we wanted. 6 months later, they returned with exactly what we needed, including all the hotels we insisted on at a perfect time of year. We had all of our requests granted in 2021 AND now they have honored all of our requests again for 2022. If you ever wanted to experience the Rocky Mountaineer Train through the Rockies, book now for 2022, the future is an unknown.

MAJESTIC CANADIAN ROCKIES 15 day train tour - August 23, 2022
There is no other program that can compare to what this special unique tour has to offer! We have evaluated everything there is to see and experience in upper Washington, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Alberta and the majestic Canadian Rockies. We combined the very best to see and experience with the “World’s Best Train Experience.” We start in Seattle, heading north to Fidalgo Island where we will overnight. While there we will tour Fidalgo Island and take a whale watching boat ride through the San Juan Islands. We then travel by ferry to Port Townsend to experience one of the most beautiful drives in the U.S. from Port Townsend to Port Angeles where we will continue by ferry to Victoria on Vancouver Island. From our gorgeous hotel on Victoria Harbour, we will tour the area, along with visiting the beautiful and famous Butchart Gardens. Then it’s back on a ferry to the mainland and on to the wonderful ski resort village of Whistler that is even more picturesque in the summer. From there we head to Vancouver and our luxury hotel in the perfect location near the Warf and the famous Gaslight district - all within a short walk. When you think it couldn’t get better, we enter the highlight after highlight section of our tour, as we board our GoldLeaf train car for our trip through the majestic Canadian Rockies. You all will be in the luxury “First” class seating, as everyone will be in Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf two story train car – with its 5-star restaurant and outdoor observation deck on the bottom floor and its full domed glass roof, giving complete unobstructed views, on the top floor. After our train ride through the Rockies, we will spend 5 nights 6 days in the majestic Rocky Mountains, visiting places like Banff, Lake Louise, the Columbian Ice-fields that include traveling by snow cat on to the Columbian Ice-fields. We will finish with the quaint old town of Jasper and then on to Calgary before heading home. This is a special tour designed by Fun For Less Tours, to bring you the BEST that this part of the world has to offer. No one else has a tour that comes close. What makes this Fantastic trip even more unique and special is the opportunity to stay in the world-famous, very expensive and very luxurious 5-Star Hotels throughout your trip. Our special hotels for your “World Class Trip”: In Vancouver: the Delta Marriott Suites Hotel – in Victoria: the Fairmont Empress Hotel – in Whistler: The Fairmont Château Hotel – in Banff: the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel – in Lake Louise: The Fairmont Château Lake Louise – in Jasper: the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. What make it even better is our “Fun For Less” hugely discounted prices. Note: Late August into early September is the perfect time of year. Temperatures in the high Rockies are about 5 degrees cooler than the high temperatures of summer, which is not a big change, but more important – In early September the number of rainy days is less than half of what it is in the summer and the crowds are less.

16 day cruise/tour - February 27, 2023 with Dr. Michael Wilcox
2.5 miles of Canals with Boats for Resort Transportation The Dubai Cruise is the very BEST way to visit this part of the world. We have combined the cruise with a land tour along with a fun and luxurious beach resort. This cruise includes: Dubai, UAE; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Sir Bani Yas, UAE; Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Manama Bahrain, and Doha, Qatar. The land tour portion includes: Muscat, Oman; Salalah, Oman, along with the #1 most luxurious hotel in Dubai (the Raffles) and one of the BEST beach resorts in all the world. This tour is not a religious tour, but like all tours, we do all over the world, whenever we are at sacred sites of any religion, (like the Vatican, Temple Mount, a Muslim Mosque, etc.), we discuss the significance and history of the area we are in, along with its religious history. There are two such sites on this tour: The beautiful majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, involving the Muslim religion. The second is in Salalah, Oman, involving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scholars agree that the land Bountiful mentioned in the Book of Mormon is located somewhere near Salalah.
Dubai is Another Word for Luxury When it comes to Dubai, the word Luxury, may not be adequate - everything in Dubai is a cut above other areas of the world that use the word Luxury. Hotels in Dubai are over the top, and your hotel tops them all. You stay in the #1 hotel out of over 1,000 Dubai hotels – the Dubai Raffles. In this Luxury Hotel, every room is over 750 square feet and luxurious – even your curtains in the room are controlled by a button. Then there is your Luxurious Beach Resort that might be worth the whole trip to Dubai. For what we include, rooms start at $1,200 a night and go up to well over $25,000 a night for the suites. Don’t worry we have an in, you get to stay for a small fraction of what others pay. The beach resort has 19 swimming pools, 40 restaurants, a huge included water park, 1.2 miles of private beach, and 2.3 miles of waterways or canals that wind through the property (think Venice). The waterways have small boats to whisk you around the property to the different restaurants, swimming pools, and beach areas.
Cruise, Shore Excursions, and Added Flights
Your 7 Night Cruise is on the BRAND NEW, MSC World Europa. With the exception of the stop in Yas, we have included all the shore excursions off the ship. We have also included three flights: Dubai to Salalah, Salalah to Muscat, and Muscat to Dubai. You really will experience some of the best the world has to offer on this special cruise and tour. Most everyone we have taken to Dubai has loved every minute!!!! Now it is your chance to do the same!
Fly the #4 BEST Airline in the whole World!
Emirates Airline has been voted the number one airline in the world numerous times; it is currently rated the number four airline in the world. In comparison, Delta comes in at #37 best airline, United comes in at the #88 best airline, and American Airlines is listed at the #79 best airline. We can fly you all the way to Dubai and back on the #4 airline for LESS than you pay to fly to Europe on a lesser quality airline companies.

STUNNING TULIP CRUISES Belgium, Netherlands and Holland Dikes 14 day cruise/tour - April 11, 2023 with Diane Prince on the cruise
Castles of Belgium -Groot-Bijgaarden with famous gardens 66
“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
Pictures don’t do Justice! Experience it in person, it will blow you away! Stunning is not a strong enough word to describe fields of Tulips in Bloom. The mixture of almost every color in the color spectrum is on display. It is truly an experience you will never forget! Weather and tulips blooming can never be fully predicted. History has shown the very best time year to see the best of the Tulips is the middle to end of April. AmaWaterways knows that the cruises, that start after 15 April and end by May 1, have the best opportunity to see the Tulips at their best. During that time our charter discount is smaller, but still more than fair. We have contracted for two charters during the prime time. AmaWaterways rarely offers any discounts during this time, but for our groups, with our charter pricing we are still going to be able to save you between $700 to $1,600 per person, depending on the cabin of your choice. This really is a FANTASTIC DEAL. No one else can give you this kind of discount. The owners of Fun For Less Tours experienced a Tulip Cruise during the last ½ of April in 2019. They couldn’t have hit it any better. They already knew how wonderful Amsterdam is with its canals, windmills and museums and they had already visited Bruges, that is often considered better than Amsterdam, with its old village atmosphere and wonderful canals. The cruise took them to new villages and areas that they had not visited in the past. They loved visiting the dikes that hold back the sea, the village of Hoorn, the Grott Bijgaarden Castles Floral Show outside of Brussels and they loved the village of Ghent. But, what struck them the most was the stunning beauty of the colorful Tulip fields found everywher. Visiting this part of the world any other time of year, pales in comparison to Tulip season. AmaWaterways offers 7-night cruises starting March 20, with the last one ending May 7. The breeding of Tulips has extended the time Tulips can be seen. There are early blooming, normal blooming, and late blooming tulips. The best of the best can be seen at Keukenhof Gardens, a little less than an hour’s drive out of Amsterdam. Every year more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted in autumn to bloom in spring. There is a variety of 800 different Tulips spread over almost 80 acres. There are 9 miles of footpaths through out the park, you can do as little or as much as you would like walking the park. Beautiful tulips are everywhere. A unique and unforgettable experience for everyone. They are open from March 21 through May 10. The ship stops there for 3 plus hours, enough time to see less than ½ of the enormous Tulip extravaganza. Our special tour/ cruise offers you the very best opportunity to witness this Garden IN FULL BLOOM! We have scheduled two visits for your group. We will visit the Garden on the first part of your land tour and then again, the last day before getting off the ship. The chances to see this fantastic park in full bloom is 90%. With so much area to cover, you really need two 3-hour visits anyway. A favorite place to see tulips in Utah is at Thanksgiving Point. They brag that they have around 300,000 tulips. Compare that to the 7,000,000 in the Keukenhof Gardens, Amsterdam.

STUNNING TULIP CRUISES Belgium, Netherlands and Holland Dikes 14 day cruise/tour - April 11, 2023 with Diane Prince on the cruise
Tulips of the Netherlands 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 club charter pricing will not be found anywhere else. On average, we are over $1,000 per person less than what the ship charges.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER PADDLE BOAT New Orleans to Memphis with Branson 15 day cruise/tour - November 26, 2022 with Jeff Lawson & George Dyer
historic Nottoway plantation in Louisiana
Mississippi River Cruise with Branson Christmas Shows There is not enough room to write how wonderful Christmas in Branson is. With the Mississippi River Cruise, we end in Memphis, a few hours’ drive from Branson – it was a no-brainer, we had to add Christmas in Branson to your cruise. We actually enjoy Branson more than New York and Broadway. You can’t compare one show like “Wicked” to any one show in Branson, but the sheer enjoyment and fun of Branson, overall, far outweighs New York and Broadway. In New York, you spend the whole day waiting for your Broadway play that you spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on, especially if you chose prime seating. In Branson, you don’t spend a day wondering what to do before your next play. Every day is a full day of fantastic fun, uplifting, feel-good shows – at a small fraction of what you would pay in New York. Two hotel nights in New York, plus two Broadway Plays would cost you a boatload of money – more than our total package that includes 11 shows in the prime seating, 6 nights hotel, Fun For Less Tour managers, transportation to and from everything.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
A Mississippi paddle boat cruise is exciting, fun, and relaxing. You will love old New Orleans, the air boat ride through the swamps, the many old plantation homes, the Civil War sites, and most of all; you will love experiencing what it was like a 100 years ago sailing the Mississippi River on a replica of a luxury paddle boat. Our educator Jeff Lawson will be there to enhance your experience by bringing the history of the area to life. We have combined the American Queen Paddle Steamboat package with 1 additional night in New Orleans before the cruise and 1 night in Memphis, and 4 nights in Branson after the cruise. Our tour in New Orleans will include the World War II Museum, the Mardi Gras World (where they are in the middle of building next year’s floats), and Bourbon Street. Our tour in Memphis will include the Civil Rights Museum and the home of Elvis Presley’s Graceland. Our time in Branson includes 11 fantastic Christmas Shows. George Dyer, in addition to being a wonderful performer in Branson, also works with Fun For Less Tours as a Tour Manager on many of our tours and cruises. George will be joining you on the buses several times during your time in Branson. This is the best time of year as Christmas is everywhere and you are out of the heat of summer. 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 picked the perfect time of year - the end of November has the best temperatures in the South. At the time of our sailing, the average temperature is 70 degrees in New Orleans, and the vast majority of our stops, the average temperatures range from 65 to 70. There are fewer crowds, along with perfect touring and walking temperatures. Another reason this is the perfect time of year is because 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 – ending in the show capital of the world, Branson.
George will be also be your Fun For Less Tours Manager throughout your time in Branson

World’s BEST Christmas Markets Cruise and Tour! Boy, do we have a treat for you. We have worked out our 2022 special Christmas Markets Cruise with AmaWaterways. Between the cruise and our creative land itinerary, we are bringing you many of the BEST Christmas Markets in Europe. Christmas Market Cruises are so popular, they don’t want to sell charters. When we charter a ship, we have huge discounts that we can pass on to our passengers. The only reason we were able to get the charter in 2022 was because we have chartered over 60 ships. Because of our vast volume, they made an exception allowing us special charter pricing for our 2022 Christmas Markets Cruise. Every small village to a large city in Europe turns their town squares into wonderful Christmas Markets at Christmas time. There are thousands of Christmas Markets in Europe between the last week of November to the end of December. Many publications have tried to publish a list of the top 10 Best Christmas Markets. With thousands of Christmas Markets to consider, any Christmas Market that makes anyone’s list has to be fantastic. We looked at many different top Christmas Markets lists, and this is what we found – Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Nuremberg, Salzburg, Dresden, Berlin, Zagreb were found on most lists, many of which were listed as a #1 on one or more of the lists – wait a minute – all of those we just listed that are found on most of the top Christmas Markets lists, are all Markets you will visit on our 2022 Christmas Markets Cruise and Tour. Between the luxurious AmaWaterways cruise ports of call and Fun For Less Tours added Land Tour, you really are going to experience the BEST Christmas Markets in the world. If there is one feeling you can describe while visiting all of the Christmas Markets, it is happiness. Yes, the shopping is fun, the sights are stunning, and the food is fantastic – but above all, it is the enjoyment and feeling of happiness that permeates the whole trip.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
We love Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) and Vietnam. It is one of our favorite areas in the world to experience. We have designed the best tour we have ever offered, that includes all four countries. We have included the best of the best to see in each country and then added a fantastic luxurious cruise down the Mekong River. It is an experience that should be at the top of your bucket list. AmaWaterways Cruise Line Company recently received the prestigious award for being the BEST river cruise company in Europe AND the BEST river cruise company in Asia – beating out everyone, including Viking. The AmaWaterways ship we will be using on our cruise through Cambodia and Vietnam is a 5-Star ship. Every cabin is the size of a mini-suite with over 250 square feet. Every cabin has both a French Balcony and an Outside Balcony. The French Balcony’s sliding glass window opens up so you can sit in your cabin OR you can step outside on your other balcony to witness the unique countryside and villages as you sail on the Mekong River between Angkor Wat, Cambodia and Ho Chi Min (Saigon), Vietnam.
Here is a small taste of what you will experience on this fantastic tour and cruise: • Myanmar (Burma): The ruins of Bagan are one of the world’s greatest archeological sites. There are literally thousands of temples built within a few square miles. It is a stunning sight to see. We will also visit Yangon with all of its history and temples covered with real gold. • Thailand: You will love our two days in Bangkok, Thailand, with its impressive Grand Palace that includes the amazing Golden Temples and Royal Residence. The beauty of the area is truly breathtaking. We will also visit the floating market on a James Bond type boat. Our luxury hotel is located next to the river for easy access to the boats that can take you up and down the river for shopping and exploring during your free time that you may have. • Cambodia: Waiting for you in Cambodia is three wonderful experiences: • Angkor Wat: It will rival any ruins in the world, including the Great Wall, Bagan, Machu Picchu, to mention a few. There are several ruins you will visit that are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. • Sap Lake: Here, you will go by boat to visit one of the floating villages, where everyone lives on floating structures that includes schools, farms, animals, etc. All are on floating structures on the lake. • Cruising in luxury on the Mekong River through unique countrysides and passing by quaint villages. • Vietnam: In addition to the quaint villages and countryside experienced on our cruise, we have included Ho Chi Min (the Chi Tunnels) and our favorite city in Vietnam – Hanoi and Halong Bay - one of the most beautiful places on earth. We will enjoy a cruise witnessing the fascinating pinnacles of land and islands that stick up in the air out of the bay. • Fly Singapore Air: Singapore Air has won more awards than any other airline, as the #1 airline in the world. Currently, they are listed as the #2 airline, just barely missing being #1 again. We are working with Singapore Air to fly our group from U.S. into Yangon, Myanmar and then back to the U.S. from Hanoi.

BRANSON CHRISTMAS 7 day 6 night trip - November 7, 2022
No matter what else you have scheduled with us in 2022, you need to add the short, inexpensive Branson Christmas to this year’s planning. Known as the “Live Show Capital of the World,” Branson is a feel-good, entertaining, fantastic experience. It is a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Most of our passengers enjoy Branson as much or more than New York’s Broadway. You can’t compare one show like “Wicked” to any one show in Branson, but the sheer enjoyment and fun of Branson overall actually outweighs Broadway. The secret to a great Branson experience is choosing the right shows and good seating. Branson has more live shows than anywhere else in the world. There may be over 150 shows to pick from at any given time. Some are fantastic, and others are not so great. We have selected our shows after a lot of research, personal experiences, and recommendations from friends that live in Branson. We also look for a variety of shows. With us, you really will get the BEST of the BEST, including the seating. Most groups are placed back into the cheap seats. That does not happen to our passengers. We pay extra to ensure our groups get the best seating. We buy center section seats in the prime area. There are no other groups in front of our passengers. The enjoyment and experience of sitting in the best seats in the theaters to watch the BEST shows in Branson – will ensure you’re going to love Branson! When you add it all together, our number of shows, the quality of our shows, reserved prime seating, our quality boutique hotel, breakfast lunch, and dinner daily, PLUS Branson Performers George & Clarisse Dyer as your Fun For Less Tours Tour Managers - you will understand why no other company can come close to delivering the experience we give our passengers.

There are plenty of shows whose combined Excellent and Very good ratings can’t even get to 60%. EVERY show we have listed below has a rating of a combination of about 90% or better.
Below is a list of the shows you will be experiencing and the combined % rating of Excellent and Very Good. • The Petersen’s Blue Grass: 99.8% rated the show Excellent or Very Good.

Give a gift that will be life-changing. It is said 50% of marriages end in divorce. It’s time to change the odds and Dr. Matt is just the one to help. What most of us lack is the skills to understand and how to work together toward a great marriage. Even if you have a great marriage, Dr. Matt can make it even better. Those who have attended our past "Get-Aways" said it was a phenomenal experience along with a fantastic vacation with their spouse. Fun For Less Tours has teamed up again with Dr. Matt Townsend. In November of 2021, we are again going to offer a couples getaway to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. This is a vacation that will pay off for a lifetime. If you haven’t experienced Dr. Matt’s masterful mix of entertainment, fun, laughter and education, you have been missing out! As a world-class educator and humorist, you will literally laugh your way to a healthier and deeper love. Dr. Matt will take his 25 years of experience educating couples to help you address some of the biggest threats to relationships today. Most of our past groups have been made up of parents bringing their married children. ALL have raved about how much their children loved the vacation and the life-changing information on marriage that Matt shared with them.

Iguazu Falls, Brazil, Argentina
A few things you should understand: • It really isn’t freezing!!! The climate is dry and sunny with temperatures around 40 degrees 24 hours a day during the Antarctic portion of your cruise. • 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, and a good possiblity to penguins, seals, whales and so much more! • You can add an optional extension to Iguazu Falls; the BEST waterfalls 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”. It could be one of your single best touring days anywhere in the world.

ISRAEL & JORDAN 11 day tour - May 19, 2023 with Michael Wilcox
Jerusalem skyline, Israel
Garden Tomb - Jerusalem
The Treasury - Petra, Jordan
Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem
Your tour will include many of the important spiritual sites in Israel. You will have the chance to experience Petra on this tour. Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World!
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, Antonia Fortress, tour around Temple Mount, Palace of Caiaphas, Jordan River, swim in the Dead Sea and Petra, Jordan! 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 is 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.

SHAKESPEARE 2022 3 day 3 night trip - July 18, 2022 with Michael Wilcox
Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre
Lo ok at the fantastic line -up of plays for 2021 TH E E NG E L S TA D SH A KESP EA R E THEATR E A LL’S W E L L T HAT EN D S W EL L
Although the king forces the young Count Bertram to marry orphaned Helena, he cannot make him love her. Only by completing an impossible task can Helena win that affection. But Shakespeare, in one of his famous “dark” comedies, once again shows us that, impossible task or not, callow youth is no match for true love and a determined woman—so all’s well that ends well.
KING LEAR
As King Lear prepares to step down from the throne and divide his kingdom among his three daughters, he puts them to the test, asking them to prove how much they love him. A play that proves that sometimes love can’t be expressed in words and that language can be deceiving, King Lear is a true heart-breaking tragedy.
S WE EN E Y TO D D
Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth-century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up—and the carnage has only just begun in this dark and delicious musical!
TH E R ANDAL L L . J O N ES T H EAT R E T H E SO U N D OF M USIC
Maria, too exuberant to be a proper nun, is sent to the Von Trapp family as a governess for seven unruly children. There she teaches the children to sing and Captain Von Trapp to love, only to have the singing family hounded by the Nazis when they invade Austria. The Sound of Music reminds us that with high-spirited hope, heartfelt compassion, and unwavering determination, life’s mountains can always be climbed.
CLU E
It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well . . . dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
“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
A N ES S TU D I O T H EAT R E T H E T EM P E S T
Teeming with fairies, monsters, shipwrecks, and magic, The Tempest is Shakespeare’s last and most imaginative romance. The deposed Duke Prospero and his lovely daughter, Miranda, are shipwrecked on a small island where nothing is quite as it seems. But as they separate fantasy from authenticity, they eventually discover a “brave new world” of love, harmony, and redemption.
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 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.
O u r B ES T S ea ting!
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 they open to the public. This makes it possible for us to get great seating for our group.

The price from Salt Lake City, driver accommodations and driver's meals, cost almost $100 per person. We felt most of you could drive to and from Cedar City for less than that. With so many of our passengers coming from other cities and states, we just 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.
