We have a great adventure ahead of us, delving into the cuisine, culture, gardens and landscapes of each city or country we visit. Whether you are returning to enjoy another tour or you are a first-time traveler, I know that you will enjoy touring with our compatible travelers and me. I look forward to welcoming you to your Garden and Nature Tour destination. I will meet you at the airport wherever feasible. If I cannot be there to personally welcome you, I will greet you at our hotel. My agents at Friendship Tours will send you a comprehensive informational packet in the weeks prior to departure. This will include your Itinerary, Hotels, Contact Information, Trip Particulars and everything you need for a smooth and pleasant journey.
Remember to bring your Airline Tickets and approved ID, or Passport if traveling internationally! Please take a photo of your passport with your phone, or make a color copy. Leave one at home and carry one with you at all times, just in case. Please affix one of the colorful nametags we provide to each piece of luggage - even your carryon bags. In addition, make a copy of important papers and be sure to leave your contact information at home. Below, please find a list of FAQs, some useful websites, and a Traveler’s Checklist. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
See you on the road!
