WHY LANDMARK? Having traveled with other companies before going with Landmark, we had something to compare them to. We were impressed with the well-planned itinerary and how organized everything was. We experienced exemplary service before, during, and after our trip. - Dale & Peggy

We found Landmark through some trusted friends. Landmark has excellent planners and we know we are in capable, experienced hands. The fact that we have made so many new friends along the way is fantastic. Seven trips later and we are still coming back for more! - Bill & Vicki

We've been on 11 domestic and 6 international Landmark Tours and highly commend their planning and attention to details for all sites, lodging, meals, and entertainment involved. Our only problem has been trying to choose which Landmark trips to plan for each year! - Bud & Kathy

Why Landmark? Because Landmark gets it! I don't need a vacation from my life or my home. I live in a beautiful place and when I leave home, I want an adventure. Landmark gets that - they take care of every possible detail and I go on an adventure!!! - Maureen

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS When should I make my reservation? Once you have decided on a tour, we suggest making your reservation as soon as possible to ensure availability. Many of our tours sell out shortly after they are released to the public.

Why do single travelers have to pay more? If you are traveling by yourself, the costs of hotel accommodations are incurred by one person instead of two. Therefore, single accommodations cost more than “double” and “triple” packages.

How are air reservations handled? All tour packages include round trip air from most major U.S. gateways. Please refer to page 64 for details. If you would like to purchase your own air, we offer a Without Air package. Please call for additional details and confirm with us before purchasing. Airline schedules are subject to change and we are unable to confirm air schedules sooner than 60 days before tour departure.

What kind of hotels do you book? We understand the importance of quality accommodations and personally select each hotel with a focus on cleanliness, comfort, and location. We’re proud to list the names and cities of the hotels being used in each tour package.

Can I extend my stay before or after the tour? Yes. Pre- and post-tour extensions are available for most tours. Contact us for more information if you are thinking about extending your stay.

Are triple accommodations offered? Yes. Some hotels offer a rollaway bed at additional cost, although we are unable to guarantee availability in advance, so two travelers may be required to share a queen or double bed. This may not be comfortable for three adults. Contact us for Triple pricing for your desired trip. I’m nervous about traveling solo. With Landmark Tours, traveling solo doesn’t mean you will be traveling alone. You’ll share your trip with like-minded travelers who are all excited to see and explore, just like you! On a Landmark tour, you can feel safe knowing the details are covered and you’ll enjoy many experiences that might be difficult to do on your own. Can you assist in finding me a roommate? Of course! If you are a single traveler interested in finding a roommate for the trip, we can coordinate pairing you with an additional traveler if one is found. We will never finalize the double reservation until you have had the opportunity to thoroughly discuss the matter with your prospective roommate. 67

How many beds are in each room? Rooms will have either two queens or two double beds. Although not guaranteed, a limited number of king beds may be available and must be requested at the time of reservation. What do the hotels serve for breakfast?
