2025 CHINA CRUISE & TOUR
New!
20 da y tour/c r u is e - A p r il 2 , 2 02 5 THE BEST TOUR IN THE WORLD!!! China is Back! Now open to tourism and we CAN’T WAIT TO RETURN! We are always asked – “What is your favorite tour or cruise in the world”? The answer is always the same – CHINA! The next question is, why China? The simple answer: Every day on any tour to any part of the world can be rated a 1 to 10 day. 10 being a day so impressive, “it blows your socks off,” and a number 1 day being almost a waste of time. When you take a trip in the world, there are very few 1 days and very few 10 days. Most days fall somewhere in between. For example, most of our passengers that have been on a tour to Peru would rate the day in Machu Picchu a 10 and the boat ride day on Lake Titicaca a 10 the rest of the tour days would likely be rated between 5 to 9. Enjoyable but not rated one of the most impressive days ever. China has substantially more 10 days than any other tour in the world. It is almost impossible to return from our specially designed tour of China without expressing to everyone “That is the best trip I have taken anywhere in the world!”
Simply put: CHINA SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST!!

ULTIMATE CHINA 20 day tour/cruise - April 2, 2025
WHY WE HAVE THE BEST TOUR OF CHINA!
CHINA is the owners of Fun For Less Tours' favorite country in the world! From their first trip in the 1990’s they have been to China over 25 times. They have spent many weeks on their own exploring all over China. Every place you visit and see in China they experienced first. Our tour is not like any other; we didn’t copy someone else’s tour, others copy our tours. Our tours include the important sites in Beijing, the Great Wall, the Terra-cotta Warriors, the Yangtze, the Li River, Hong Kong and so much more. But we don’t stop there, we bring you many things that are not offered by other companies:
Here is a partial list that makes us better than the rest:
• With us you see more of China: We travel through the whole country, starting in Hong Kong we zig zag through China, making sure we see the most impressive sites - all the way to Beijing. • The Shenzhen China Cultural Village: Think of the Polynesian Cultural Village in Hawaii, and you will get an idea of what this is. The Chinese asked the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii to help build them a Cultural village that would display the dress and customs of their many ethnic tribes inside of China. Mission accomplished on a grand scale. The China Cultural Village is impressive and much larger than the Polynesian Cultural Village. The China Cultural Village is a huge hit with our passengers, and it also has several GREAT Shows. As far as we know, we are still the only company that has ever brought American Groups to the China Cultural Village. • Zhangjiajie Mountains: We were the first ever to bring American groups to Zhangjiajie. This is likely the most beautiful place on Earth. It is where they filmed the floating mountains of Avatar. Yes, those mountains actually exist, they filmed them at Zhangjiajie and then cut off the bottoms to make them float in the movie. This is a highlight of highlights in China. • Both the Yangtze and the Li River in one tour. Usually, you have to pick the Li River or the Yangtze; you can’t do both. If you are going to China, you need to do both. The Yangtze River is more impressive than the sailing through the inside passage in Alaska. • 8 Phenomenal cultural shows: in Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Other companies charge extra for the shows, we include them all! • REAL 5-Star Luxury Hotels and Cruise Ship: In China hotels and Yangtze River cruise ships can assign their star rating more or less on their own - many companies passengers end up in hotels and cruise ships on the Yangtze that state they are 5 star but in reality are more like a 3 star. All of our hotels are 5 Star PLUS and our Yangtze Cruise ship's cabin is a mini suite with private balconies.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
New!
• The ancient walled city of Pingyao: China’s best-preserved ancient walled city. The whole town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is often called a living museum. Even though the ancient walled city is many hundreds of years old, the buildings are all lived in. The first banking system in China started in Pingyao. This will be a major highlight. • Pandas and the Guangzhou Zoo Shows: A great place to see Pandas is at the Guangzhou Zoo. The Zoo also has many animal shows to enjoy. We will also enjoy a fantastic evening show across from our luxury hotel. • High-Speed Trains are faster than flying: By the end of 2022 China is close to having 30,000 miles of high-speed rail lines. High speed trains travel between 120 to 220 miles an hour. We used to do 5 airplane flights inside of China. By the time you add the drive through traffic to the airports, the hours before the flights, along with the drive time back into the next city – in every routing, traveling by high speed train has become faster than flying. That doesn’t even take into consideration that the vast majority of our flights were over an hour late. The trains have more comfortable seats, more leg room and you get to enjoy the beautiful China landscapes when traveling by train. • High-Speed Train Baggage issues: China’s High-Speed Trains have only a small area around your seat that can handle American’s small carry-ons – which is the size of what the Chinese would take as a suitcase. There is no room for large suitcases without having to eat up your leg room. Then there is the massive headache of loading and unloading buses, dragging large suitcases through train stations, along with having to lift your large suitcases on and off the trains. We are the only company we know of that has solved this issue. Your suit cases are taken from your hotel room in one city and will magically appear in your hotel room in the next city. We have your large luggage trucked from your hotel room to your next hotel in the next city. You are free to travel on the high-speed trains with your day pack or small carry-on – without having to handle or worry about your large suitcases. Bottom Line: We designed our tour to bring the very best of China, you will see and experience more with us than any other company. China should be your #1 Choice. There are more WOW days in China than you will find on any other tour anywhere in the world!

The owners of Fun For Less Tours were excited when they found out a few years ago AmaWaterways was building two luxury river cruise ships to sail the Colombia Rivers. Both will be completed sometime in 2024. The owners of Fun For Less Tours had already been to Colombia to prepare for future experiences for those that travel with us. When they found out AmaWaterways was putting ships in Colombia, that would much improve our passengers' experiences of Colombia, they waited until the ships were going to be ready for passengers to put together their Colombia Tour, combined with AmaWaterways River Cruise.

An unparalleled experience onboard the stunning newly designed AmaMagdalena. An intimate 60 passenger cruise ship with luxury throughout and sweeping views as you cruise Colombia's Magdalena River. Each amenity-filled stateroom features AmaWaterways signature twin-Balcony cabins, with both a French Balcony and an outside balcony. Cabin sizes range from 237 square feet to 510 square feet. For our tour and cruise of Colombia we have chartered the whole ship and added Dr. Michael Wilcox as your educator. Your ship will sail between Cartagena and Barranquilla. Here are a few of the highlights you will experience on your wonderful river cruise: Ride an authentic paola bicycle through the town of Calamar. Be welcomed by a local band as you take a historic walking tour through Mompox, a UNESCO Site preserved in colonial charm, and discover the colorful stilt houses of Nueva Venicia. Go bird-watching and search for beautiful Cianeguo hummingbirds as well as the Chauna chavaria – only found in this region.

SAUDI ARABIA & QATAR with OMAN & DUBAI
17 day tour - January 31, 2025 with Dr. Michael Wilcox Finally – Saudi Arabia has opened to Tourism:
We have waited a long time for the opportunity to offer a tour of Saudi Arabia. Up until a few years ago Saudi Arabia was closed to everyone that was not a Muslim or a member of one of the Islam religions. Non-members of the religion could only get a visa to enter Saudi Arabia if they were on an approved business trip or were able to obtain special permission from the Saudi Government to enter. Then in September of 2019 Saudi Arabia opened to Tourism, then less than 6 months later they shut down again due to the spread of the COVID. Now that the COVID outbreak has subsided, Saudi Arabia has reopened to tourism again. They recently made a huge major announcement: The Sacred City of Madinah has opened up to Tourism. Madinah has been cut off for centuries to anyone that was not of the Islam religion. This was a huge announcement. Earlier in 2020 before the outbreak of the COVID, Michael Wilcox and the owners of Fun For Less Tours, visited Saudi Arabia to explore and prepare for future tours. Madinah was still closed to non-Muslims during their visit. With the very recent opening of Madinah the owners are headed back to Saudi Arabia and Qatar in October of 2023 to visit Madinah, Jeddah and other places they missed in 2020. They are going specifically to prepare for this tour and future tours to Saudi Arabia. Madinah has always been high on Michael’s wish list and he can’t wait to go back. It is important to note that Saudi Arabia is rapidly changing into a wonderful tourist destination in such a short time. Just a few years ago, all women no matter their religion had to wear scarfs or completely cover their heads when out in public. Now you will feel comfortable just dressing modestly and with no head covering at all. With the exception of entering a mosque, women are no longer required to wear head coverings. Saudi Arabia has so much to offer in tourism.
Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience in Saudi Arabia:
• Madinah: The rare opportunity to visit the Sacred city of Madinah. Closed to non-Muslims for over 1,000 years. • Al Ula area: has many unique rock formations and ruins that are very similar to Petra in Jordan. You will love this area and the unique luxury desert resort we stay in. • Jeddah on the Red Sea. • High Speed Train: We will travel between Madinah and Jeddah by high-speed train traveling at speed reaching 200 miles an hour. • Riyadh: The capital of Saudi Arabia.
Qatar is a must!
Qatar has likely not been on your bucket list, but it should be. There is no place that you can have more fun than at the Camel races in Qatar. After a fast pace tour of Muscat, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the Ruins in Al Ula, Madinah, Jeddah and Riyadh – it is time to slow down and end with three nights in the Luxury and we do mean Luxury Marsa Malaz Kempinski, the Pearl of Doha. The Resort and Spa is located on its own private island. There will be time to enjoy some sight-seeing and camel racing – but most of all it is time to relax at a fantastic island resort with private beach and many wonderful swimming pools.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat Oman
It doesn't matter how many times you have traveled to Dubai, you always look forward to the next opportunity to return. While the main purpose of this tour is to tour Saudi Arabia and Qatar, you're in the neighborhood and airfare is inexpensive, so why not stop off in the wonderful ancient city of Muscat, along with adding the stunning cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Here is a partial list of what you will experience in Dubai and Oman. • 2 nights in Muscat 5-Star Beach Resort along with a full day of touring. • 3 nights in a 5-star luxury in Dubai. Everything in this part of the world is the biggest and the best. While there, we will travel to the observation tower in the world's tallest building, do a city tour, visit the Dubai Flower Garden with millions upon millions of flowers some of which covers a full 747 airplane. You will also visit one of the most impressive stunning palaces in the world in Abu Dhabi along with the most impressive Mosque in the world.
NOTE:
Our fantastic luxurious 5 star resorts have caused this tour to be a little more expensive, in the end they are worth every penny! For example our hotel in Al Ula when including taxes, breakfast and dinner is close to $800 per room per night.

AmaWaterways Cruises are more expensive this time of year, but with our charter pricing you are only slightly more than traveling in the heat of summer. Major Tour Highlights: This is a huge highlight tour. Even if you have been there before, everyone loves Paris! Paris has the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Palace Versailles and romantic boat rides. Add the enchanting castle island of Mont Saint Michel by high-speed train, and the Normandy Landing Beaches and you have the best of what France has to offer. From there it only gets better. You travel to Switzerland by High Speed Train - without your large luggage, which is taken by bus to meet you in Switzerland. Every day in Switzerland is a fantastic highlight day. Here is some of what you will experience: The ancient Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva, the majestic Matterhorn, the stunning Eiger Mountains and the quaint villages of Zermatt and Grindelwald. The tour in Switzerland involves buses, trains, cogwheel trains and cable cars – bringing you experiences that you will never forget. We then head to Basel to board our 5-Star luxury river cruise ship to sail the Enchanting Rhine - at savings no other company can give you. After your 5-Star Luxury Cruise and Amsterdam, we have added Bruges, Belgium (considered to be a better canal city than Amsterdam) along with Brussels to your itinerary before you head home. This wonderful tour and cruise is a massive home run!

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
We have wanted to do Japan for years, but 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 love 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 rider will take you through many of the Thousands of small islands made up of towering limestones 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 2024 would have all worked during the last 5 years. 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 hours it only a short ride to the best other areas of Japan • Hiroshima: It is sad, but a must to visit. • Mt. Fuji: We plan to take a boat ride near the bottom of Mt. Fuji • Tokyo: The vast amount of high rises are amazing.

ULTIMATE AFRICA by Luxury Train
Experience 7 African Countries 16 day train tour - October 2, 2024 with Jeff Lawson
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 harks 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, only a 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 over $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), 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.

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 in 2024. 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.

ANTARCTICA CRUISE with Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and the Chilean Fjords 26 day cruise/tour - January 4, 2025 with Dr. Michael Wilcox
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 possibility to see 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.

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 are the skills to understand each other 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 and his wife Mardi. In April of 2024, we are offering a Get-AWAY Cruise in the Caribbean. 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 plus years of experience educating couples to help you address some of the biggest threats to relationships today. Many of our past groups have been made up of parents bringing their married children. It didn’t matter the age, or the amount of time married - ALL have raved about how much they and their children loved the vacation and the life-changing information on marriage that Matt shared with them. They also had to admit it not only helped their children, it helped them as well. This trip can be the BEST investment when it comes to the happiness of yourselves and your married children. At the start of the tour we all fly into Houston, over night in a 4 star deluxe hotel. That evening and the next morning before getting on the ship - Matt will hold his workshops. In his “Take Your Love to a Higher-Level" workshops, he will give you the real-life tools needed for a deeper connection to your spouse. Tools that you will be able to use throughout your life. During the cruise he will hold additional workshops, but leaving plenty of time to enjoy the Harmony of the Seas ship, its shows, water slides, meals and its ports of call. We have not forgotten it is a vacation and it might be a second or maybe even a 50th honeymoon. This is a time to enjoy improving your marriage. Everyone will experience beautiful vistas, wonderful ports of call, great meals and a ship that has it all. Added to all the fun is Matt’s world-class education to deepen your marriage relationships. Most of you are going to leave an inheritance to your children when you leave this life. Share some of it with them now, when it will do the most good and help them for the rest of their married lives. Give the gift of love to yourself and to your married children.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
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, fortune tellers 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 in 4-wheel drive vehicles. 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, the Rock of Gibraltar and the island of Palma De Mallorca.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRAIN 15 day train tour - August 12, 2024
The Majestic Canadian Rockies by Train has been voted “The BEST Train Trip in the World” for 7 years in a row. The very BEST in Hotels: The “Best Train Trip in the World” needed to have the BEST in Luxury Hotels! The very BEST Luxury Hotels in Canada are the iconic Fairmont Hotels. They are extremely hard to get into for groups, they usually prefer individual bookings as they can often get 100’s of dollars more per room per night. It often takes us months to finally arrange all the hotels we want at a date that will also match reserving our train seats all in GoldLeaf train cars. This is the rare opportunity to stay in the “Castle in the Rockies” Fairmont Springs Hotel in Banff, the “Castle in the City” Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, the Iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria and the Luxurious Fairmont Chateau Whistler. They are hotels everyone longs to experience, but rarely can afford. Our negotiated group pricing has put all of these iconic luxurious hotels within your reach. Combining the luxury iconic Fairmonts with the upgraded GoldLeaf Train service does make this tour a little more expensive - but it is far less than if you tried to do this train trip and hotels on your own. You only live once and this special train trip will bring you memories that will last the rest of your life. It is worth every penny!

From there, we head to Vancouver and our luxury Castle in the City Fairmont Hotel. 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.

& NORWEGIAN FJORDS CRUISE 17 day cruise/tour - July 3, 2024 with Glenn Rawson
Panoramic view on town Alesund, Norway A Rare Treat Being in the Arctic this time of year, you can witness the “midnight sun”. This far north, the first part of July, the sun may not even set. For sure it will stay light all night long. The most impressive Fjords in the world are the Chillan Fjords and the Norwegian Fjords. The word stunning to describe the Norwegian Fjords, may not be strong enough. This is one of the most staggeringly beautiful trips you can take anywhere on this earth. Cruising through the Fjords of Norway all the way into the Arctic Circle is an experience rarely matched by any other tour or cruise. We start in Amsterdam where you will experience windmills, dykes, canals, boat rides and Ann Franks house. We then sail from Amsterdam for 14 days 13 nights all way into the Arctic Ocean. One of your ports of call is at the very northern tip of Norway in the Arctic Ocean. You will sail through many stunning fjords and stop to explore in many beautiful ports of call. You will pass and stop at many of the quaint villages located throughout Norway’s Fjords. Your ports of call include: Geiranger, Molde, Honningsvag, Tromso, Flam (with its Flam Railway), Alesund, Olden and Bergen in the Norwegian Fjords. Life just doesn’t get any better than this. With the gigantic savings we received over what the ship is selling cabins for – 2024 is the best year to sail through the Norwegian Fjords.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
There are only a few times each year when the cruise leaves from one side of the U.S. and transits through the Panama Canal, and ends up on the other side of the U.S. We love this cruise itinerary. We plan to add a unique night in an upgraded room with window on the famous Queen Mary parked at the Long Beach wharf. It would include a night stay, breakfast and a Tour of the ship. The Queen Mary will open for booking groups about 10 months before our October departure. We do expect to be able to make arrangements for our group, but if for any reason we are unable to book the cabins on the Queen Mary, we will still do the tour of the Queen Mary and will make some adjustments to pricing if we stay in another hotel. After our night in the Queen Mary, along with breakfast, we will head to our Royal Caribbean Cruise ship waiting for us in Los Angeles. There are 8 ports of call on this cruise – we have included the shore excursion in every port. We will also be doing a tour in Tampa Area with an additional night before flying home. Those that would like to extend their stay in Florida can take the short drive to Disneyland and Universal Studios.

In Germany alone, there are close to 3,000 Christmas markets - In Europe the number could reach over 10,000 Christmas markets. There are many lists of the Top 10 best in the world - they are not all the same – But after reviewing close to 20 articles that list the top 10 or so BEST Christmas Markets, we find out of the tens of thousands of Christmas Markets in the world, only about 30 Christmas Markets, overall, ever find their way into someone’s BEST Christmas Markets list. Some of those that we will visit in 2024 are very unique - One is in a Gorge deep in the Black Forest, another is on a ship, another is in a series of caves and another is a huge Christmas Market in a Train Station. Here is the list of Christmas Markets we will visit in 2024 that have made it into someone’s top 10 list: • Munich Christkindlmarkt in Marienplatz square: Dating back to the 14th century. Home of living customs and old crafts. Germany’s largest Nativity scene market. We will also plan to visit the Nativity Museum while in Munich. • Ravenna Gorge: Considered the most beautiful market in Germany. A unique Christmas Market. • Konstanz Lake-side Christmas Market: A unique Christmas Market with even a ship filled with Christmas Markets. • Zurich Christindlimarket: The largest indoor Christmas Market in Europe located in a Train Station. • Basel Christmas Markets: Recently voted the BEST Christmas Market in Europe. • Strasbourg “The Capital of Christmas”: For over 400 years they have been holding Christmas Markets – makes many of the Top 10 lists, some at #1. • Freiburg Christmas Market. • Cologne Christmas Market: makes many of the Top 10 lists, some at #1. • Amsterdam Christmas Market • Bruges Christmas Market: a highlight to visit any time – but stunning at Christmas time. • Valkenburg “Christmas Town”: It is rumored Santa actually comes from Valkenburg.

If there is one feeling you can describe while visiting all of the Christmas Markets, it is happiness.

TRAVELS of PAUL TOUR New Testament Studies
14 day tour - August 16, 2024 with Dr. Michael Wilcox
Parthenon at sunset, Athenian Acropolis in Athens - Greece This special tour is a wonderful chance to enhance your studies of the New Testament with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox. If you are spending time studying the New Testament in your church or on your own this year – next year would be the perfect time to visit many of the sites mentioned in the New Testament. The tour also includes early Christian history in the areas you are visiting. Below is a small list of some of the highlights you will experience on Dr. S. Michael Wilcox’s Travel of Paul and the Apostles Tour: · Athens: Paul taught on Mars Hill at the base of the Acropolis. · Corinth: Paul spent over a year in Corinth working, teaching and starting a church. · Ephesus: Paul and John were involved in creating the church in Ephesus and other churches in the surrounding area. · The Island of Patmos: From Ephesus, we will travel by private ferry to the Isle of Patmos, Turkey. This is where John wrote the book of Revelations. Patmos is really a Greek island but it is closer to Turkey than to the mainland of Greece. · Rome: Paul was held in prison near the Forum of Rome, and it was here that Paul died a martyr for his faith. There are three other wonderful places that we will visit that are filled with early Christian history. All fall into our favorite places to visit in the world. • Istanbul: Many of the religious sites in Istanbul have both ancient Christian history and ancient Muslim history. • Cappadocia: Underground cities where up to 20,000 early Christians hid from persecution. The caves cities have up to 13 levels. We will not try to visit all of the many miles of caves or try to visit 13 levels deep, but we will visit enough that this will become a huge highlight day. • Meteora Monasteries: Our train ride and visit to Meteora’s Ancient Monasteries, built on top of sheer rock pinnacles, will be another huge highlight day.

ISRAEL & JORDAN 10 day tour - May 31, 2024 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.
