INTERNATIONAL GRAND TOURS CANCELLING TRIPS! Posted by Claire on 8/05/05 Dear Another Teacher, I have no doubt that Travel Selections did "close down". However, the company still has an address at 829 Benton St. in Santa Clara, CA, a location very near to the International Grand Tours office. Almost every word and tour name on the IGT web site is identical to that of Travel Selections. Coincidence? I think not. Why are these people still allowed to open offices and run tours, duping teachers and students? Apparently this has gone on, in one form or another, for more than 27 years!
