ROM E TEMPLE OPTION S As mentioned in the letter we recently sent out, the most realistic finish of the Rome Temple is somewhere in late 2018 or very early 2019. Other companies are once again selling tours for the Rome Temple Open House on 2018 dates we do not believe are accurate. Our best sources believe the Temple will not be finished by spring of 2018. The truth is we do not know, and maybe the other companies are right this time. Either way, we made a decision several years ago not to put tours together to try and do the open house. Our issues are the following: • The date of the Rome Temple Open house will likely be announced about 3 to 4 months before. Getting good hotels, buses and guides on such short notice would be virtually impossible, ESPECIALLY if you are not only trying to arrange things in Rome but also other parts of Europe to create a full tour that includes more than the Rome Temple. • A short trip to Rome only would likely be possible on short notice, but what a waist to spend the money to fly all the way to Rome, spend an hour or two with huge crowds shuffling through the Rome Temple and the visitors center and then turn around and head home. • We are not sure if it is fair that the many large groups from Utah take away Open House tickets that could be used for other members and nonmembers in Europe. • Last, but not least, 9 out of every 10 we talked to, liked the idea of going after the temple opens when they could take the time to do temple work and avoid the huge Open House crowds. • Great news, the Paris Temple opened this year, we would like to add, whenever possible, the ability to do both the Rome and Paris Temple. We have decided to take our groups to Rome after the Temple is open and the crowds are gone. We would like to spend a good part of a day doing a session or two, maybe do baptisms for the dead and have time to enjoy the fantastic visitor center without the crowds. We have decided to take 8 of our future tours, some in 2019 and some in 2020, and build a Rome Temple Option into the Tours. Everyone we have talked to feels strongly the Temple will be open by the summer of 2019 and for sure in 2020. This brochure contains four wonderful tours that are in the Sumer or Fall of 2019 and four tours that are in 2020 that include the Passion Play – all of our tours have an option for the Rome Temple, and in most cases, the option includes the Paris Temple. All 8 of these tours can be found in this brochure. You may be wondering why we are sending out the brochure now when we are just under two years from our 2019 tours and almost 3 years from our 2020 tours? The real issue is the tours in 2020!!!! • Our 2020 tours will go on sale in two months. The Oberammergau Passion Play in Germany is in 2020. The Passion Play has already gone on sale. We already have reservations for 40 different groups to attend the 2020 Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany. • We have a Passion Play “First to Know” List. Everyone on that list is going to start reserving their 2020 tours this October. The problem is, we have approximately 5,500 people on our “First to Know” List AND we have only 3,600 tickets to the Passion Play. Not everyone on our list will sign up for a tour, but a very large majority will and here is why: If you do not go in 2020 the next opportunity to see the Passion Play will be in 2030. Add to the fact we have the BEST in hotels along with the BEST seats in the theater for our groups. Most people on our list will not wait another ten years - they will act now. Only a few of our 2020 Passion Play Tours will include the Rome and Paris Temple Options, and those tours will sell out this October. Those on our Rome Temple “First To Know List” signed up years ago, long before our Passion Play list. We feel those on the Rome Temple List (our oldest list) should have first opportunity to reserve the tours in 2019 and/or the tours in 2020 that will include the Rome and Paris Temple options. If we wait until after October, all of our 2020 tours, that will include the Rome Temple will be gone. That is why we are contacting you now. ***Look through this brochure. If you find the tour you want or have questions on any of the tours, give us a call. Each of our tours have a map of the countries and cities you will visit. Some of the cities on the map, you will overnight in, other cities you will visit. You are free to invite any friends or relatives, you would like to have travel with you on any of our tours.

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”


BIG, BIG, BIG Announcement We will be offering European River Cruises on both the Danube and Rhine in 2019 and 2020 (including Passion Play cruises). We have considered Europe River Cruising for years, but have had a few issues: The prices, quality of ships and especially their choices of included shore excursions. Our issues were solved when we came to terms with the best cruise line in Europe. Take a look at what we will be offering: • We have agreed to purchase partial to full charters with AmaWaterways. In 2019 we will have two charters, one on the Rhine and one on the Danube. In 2020 we are planning on chartering up to 10 ships on either the Rhine or Danube Rivers that will tie perfectly with our passion plays. • AmaWaterways Quality: They are constantly voted as the best river cruise company, even better than Viking. Here is a small list of their current awards: Global Traveler awards: “Best River Cruise Line.” Travvy Awards: “Best River Cruise Line Europe.” AAA Awards: “River Cruise Company of the Year.” American Society of Travel Agents Awards: “River Cruise Company of the Year.” Cruise Critic Awards: “Best River Cruise Line” and this is only a partial list. • Shore Excursions: Shore excursions are included with River Cruising in Europe. The issue is the quality of the shore excursions. They often do short city or walking tours, skip the castles because of entrance fees, and almost daily they end up stopping at a winery for wine tasting. ***THIS IS BIG - AmaWaterways has agreed to allow Fun For Less Tours to design their own included shore excursions. The Fun for Less Tours’ owners are spending a month in Germany in 2018 visiting AmaWaterway ports of call on both the Rhine and Danube Rivers to design for 2019 & 2020 our own private enhanced shore excursions for our passengers. No other company works as hard as we do to bring you the very best!!! • Lower the Pricing: By doing partial to full charters, we were able to save our Passengers up to $1,000 PER PERSON!

Three Cruise Cabin Categories

There are no inside cabins. We have combined their many different categories of cabins into three simple categories: • Large Port Hole Window Cabins: They are on the lower level. They have two large port hole windows. They are 160 square feet. • French Balcony Cabins: A French Balcony Cabin is an outside cabin that has glass doors from floor to celling and wall to wall. The glass doors open to the outside. The picture above has two balconies, one of which is a French Balcony. With the doors open, you feel like you are outside on a balcony, but you are siting inside your cabin. The Cabins are 170 square feet. • Double Balcony Mini Suite Cabins: Pictured above - these cabins are mini suites at 210 square feet or larger. The cabins have both a regular outside balcony AND a french inside balcony.

Budapest parliament at sunrise, Hungary

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

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

• #1: Quality of ship: AmaWaterways has won almost everyone’s award as the best cruise line in Europe, even beating out Viking. • #2: Shore excursions: Shore excursions are included with River Cruising in Europe. The issue is the quality of the shore excursions. They often do short city or walking tours, skipping the sites that have expensive entrance fees and almost daily they end up stopping at a winery for wine tasting. ***THIS IS BIG - AmaWaterways has agreed to allow Fun For Less Tours to design their own shore excursions. The Fun for Less Tours owners are spending a month in Europe in 2018 visiting AmaWaterways’ ports of call on both the Rhine and Danube Rivers to design our own private enhanced shore excursions. We are not going to drive by a castle so we can get to wine tasting. • #3: Lower the pricing: By doing partial or full charters, we were able to save our passengers up to $1,000 PER PERSON! On some sailings the cruise company offers $250 per person discount, but NO ONE EVER offers a $600 to $1,000 per person discount, especially when you consider the extra costs to do enhanced shore excursions, the costs of bringing our Fun For Less Tours staff and the costs of bringing Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as a guest educator. YES, the cruise line made us an unbelievable deal!!! • Look at OUR special savings over the cruise lines prices for 2019 Cabins o Cat D Two Large Port Hole Windows - 160 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $3,794 MINUS our $600 savings - you pay $3,194. o Cat C French Balcony - 170 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $4,394 MINUS our $800 savings - you pay $3,594. o Average of Cat BB&BA Double Balcony Mini Suites - 210 square feet:  2019 Ship Price: $4,994 MINUS our $1,000 savings - you pay 3,994.  To get the savings needed to lower the price for our customers and do our own designed enhanced shore excursions, we committed to doing ½ to full ship charters. The cruise line needs charters to be sold in advance of normal sales. That means we need to sell our portion of the ship now so we can pass the savings on to you! When you consider you save up to $1,000 per person on the cruise that includes our special shore excursions AND you get the very best of Budapest and all of Romania, AND you get Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as your guest educator AND you can add a Rome Temple extension – WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR – CALL US NOW!

TOUR OPTIONS

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”


EVERY Tour In 2020 WILL Include The Passion Play In Oberammergau, Germany

All 2020 tours and cruises in the Europe area will include the Passion play in Oberammergau, Germany. We have taken 4 of those tours and added options that will include the Rome and Paris Temples. Below is information on how great the opportunity is to attend the Passion Play in 2020.

Important Oberammergau Passion Play Tour Information This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the Oberammergau Passion Play. It only happens one summer every 10 years. If you miss 2020 your next opportunity will be 2030. This is a rare chance to see something spectacular and at the same time experience something spiritual. If you love Christ, you can’t help but be moved by this powerful play that has been performed by the village of Oberammergau every 10 years since 1634. To be part of the Passion Play, you must have been born in the Oberammergau Village or live in Oberammergau for over 20 years. Every child ever born in Oberammergau from birth forward prepares and lives toward the Passion Plays. You could say it is in their genes. We have already signed contracts with Oberammergau that guarantees our group the following: • Passion Play Hotels: In 2010 our groups that attended the Passion Play stayed in everything from a 4 star down to a 1-star hotel, some of our passengers were even in local homes. In 2020 all of our passengers have been guaranteed 4-Star Deluxe Hotels. • Two Nights: 60% of all those attending the Passion Play will only be able to stay one night in the Oberammergau area. They will have to drive a long distance, arrive in time for the play, overnight and leave the next morning. We are part of the 40% that will be able to spend two nights in the area to really enjoy Oberammergau and the Bavarian Alps. • Category One with Priority Seating: The center section and a small portion of the side seating in the theater are considered category one seating. We estimate 2/3 of the seats are considered category one seating. In 2010 the quality of seat for the play directly correlated to the quality of hotel you stayed in. The few we had in 4-star hotels in 2010 had substantially better seats than our other guests in lesser quality hotels.

Important Note:

Most companies, in order to sell a cheaper Oberammergau tour, have bought category 1 & 2 hotels, which they refer to as 1st class hotels. They also only stay 1 night in Obermmergau and have ended up with very poor seats for the Passion Play. After our experiences in 2010 cheaper hotels and bad seats at the Passion Play is a major mistake! We want to offer top of the line deluxe hotels, stay 2 nights in Oberammergau, and have the best seats at the Passion Play for our passengers!

***Preparing you in advance for the Passion Play You are going all the way to Germany to witness and experience the Oberammergau Passion Play. We want to help make it an experience of a lifetime. We are going to bring every tour in early before the Oberammergau play. Through lectures and power point pictures we will prepare you for the Passion Play. Dr. S. Michael Wilcox is willing to stay in a hotel room for 4 ½ months, with only one purpose - to prepare every one of our passengers so that they will have a fantastic Passion Play experience. Michael has been to the Passion Play several times in 2000 and again in 2010. He knows how critical it is to prepare and understand what is taking place on stage before going to the play. It isn’t that you wouldn’t enjoy the Passion Play without preparing, it’s that those that go prepared will understand the play better, enjoy the play more and have an increased opportunity to feel the spirit of the play. Your whole Passion Play experience will increase substantially if Michael is able to prepare you before you see the play. We will have two groups arriving every week for 20 weeks. The two groups do not arrive or see the play at the same time. He will prepare the first group, and then they will go to the play. The second group will then arrive, and he will repeat the preparation before they go to the play. By the time you attend the Passion Play, you will have reviewed the story of Christ and gone through each scene during the play. Preparation will allow you to relax and not worry about what is happening on stage; you are already familiar with each scene. You can just enjoy and feel the spirit of this fantastic play.

2020 Rome & Paris Temples includes the Oberammergau Passion Play

11 day tour - August 12, 2020 with Bernell Christensen

rendering of the LDS Paris, France Temple

We have people of all faiths that travel with our company. Our tours are comfortable for any faith to go with us and they love those of the Mormon Faith that are able to travel with. But they do find it odd how much, those of the Mormon Faith, enjoying seeing Mormon Temples in other parts of the world. On a recent tour with one of our groups a Baptist that has taken many tours with us, commented to the owners of Fun For Less Tours, “Why do Mormons get so excited every time they pass a Mormon Temple? We Baptists see Baptist churches every were we go in the world, but we don’t get excited.” It is true, those of the LDS faith love their Temples. The Rome Temple, that is under construction, has created such an excitement, we have had over 1,000 people that have put themselves on a wait list wanting to be able to go to the Rome Temple Open House.

We feel visiting the Rome Temple during the time of the Open House would not be wise for the following reason:

· There is a limited number that can go through during the open house and we should not be taking places of those of other faiths living in Europe. This would be their only chance to see inside a special LDS Temple. · The crowds will be gigantic. You will have to shuffle through the temple and stand 50 deep or more in the visitors’ center. In just a few minutes you are done visiting this beautiful site. · We felt it would be better to go after the Temple is dedicated, take your time enjoy a session in the Temple and do other Temple work. You will see the Temple, but in a more relaxed and sacred atmosphere and the New Visitors Center will not be crowded. This special tour will allow those that want to visit the completed Rome Temple and the new Paris Temple, to slow down, do a session in both Temples. Add to all of this is the Study of Christ with Michael AND the attending of Oberammergau’s Passion Play. We will have two full days of time in Rome and two full days of time in Paris. In addition to the few hours you spend at the LDS temples, there will be time to visit the most important tourist sites in Rome and Paris.

Here is a little information on the Rome Temple:

The resplendent interior of the Rome Italy Temple features beautiful Italian-quarried Perlato Svevo marble on surfaces throughout the building, including floors, walls, and countertops. Magnificent floor work is featured in the baptistery and grand foyer, which reflects Michelangelo’s design at the Piazza del Campidoglio on top of Rome’s Capitoline Hill. The pattern is also seen in the sculpted off-white carpets in the Celestial and sealing rooms. The majesty of the temple is further reflected in the choice of artwork, stained glass, crown moldings, and other furnishings and finishes. The complex includes a wonderful Visitors Center that will include reproductions of Bertel Thorvaldsen’s Christus statue and the twelve apostles. The originals were sculpted in Rome and transported to Copenhagen in 1838 to stand in the National Cathedral of Denmark.
