Hi! Of course I'm extremely biased because I've worked with Class Act
Tours for over 25 years, but I truly feel you won't find an easier and
more personable company to work with! When you call, we immediately
connect you with a Personal Tour Coordinator whom you can contact 24/7 for
any questions you may have during the trip planning process. We work with
ALL kinds of budgets, keeping in mind that this is an EDUCATIONAL trip,
geared towards student groups and it shows in our prices without
compromising on quality. Our guides are AWESOME and I wouldn't work
anywhere else~ www.classacttours.com 888 331-8687 Give us a call!
