Friends and Family Rates

This year, families can take advantage of double discounts with General Tours. The company’s Family and Friends program, which discounts $50-$150 per person on groups of three or more, can be combined with the $1,000 savings promotion for any 2013 small group booking of a private or small ship journey made by Dec. 28.

General Tours’ most popular trips can now be booked privately, allowing families to trek the globe at their own pace in a personal car complete with a driver and a guide. The Panadas of Chengdu, Mountains & Jungles of Nepal, Treasure of Nicaragua and other itineraries are being adapted to suit budget-minded families. www.generaltours.com
