What's this trip about?

    For 2017 we offer a choice of 2 hotels, a First Class hotel in Phoenix and a moderate hotel in nearby Mesa (Arizona’s 3rd largest city).  Both hotels are located within a half hour drive of Old Town Scottsdale. The Arizona Golf Resort in Mesa is so named because it is located beside a tranquil man-made lake and a championship Golf Course (although the hotel itself is much more than a golf resort). There are two types of accommodation (all at ground level) at this moderate hotel. For the January 5 and February 28 tours we will stay in Casitas – small bungalows with a separate living room, private bedroom, walkout patio and a full kitchen. For the February 20 tour we will stay in Studios with kitchenettes. There are a number of onsite restaurants, a seasonal Day Spa, pools, whirlpools, musical entertainment twice weekly and free Wi-Fi. The resort is within walking distance of the Superstition Springs Mall which boasts great shopping and dining, and there is a strip mall directly across the street. A courtesy van will be available for transfers within the local area.

Cancellation policy

Those who choose to decline our comprehensive insurance package will be issued a rebate on their tour cost, the amount to be informed by your Tour Consultant. The following schedule of cancellation penalties applies only if you have declined our insurance package, or if you cancel a tour for a reason not covered in our insurance package (applies to tours without a cruise portion. Cruise penalties may vary).

Cancel 61 days or more prior to departure: $75.

60 days to 31 days prior to departure: 25% of tour cost.

30 days to 8 days prior to departure: 50% of tour cost.

7 days or less prior to departure: 100% of tour cost.

 

Please note that our cancellation insurance policy does not include “upgrade to single accommodation” in case your partner cancels. In this case you may either pay the single supplement and travel as a single, or cancel the tour and receive a full re- fund, less the $75 administration fee. Also, while our cancellation insurance policy covers the partner of a person cancelling, it does not cover their friends who are not sharing accommodation with the cancelling party. If you must cancel your tour you must notify us within 48 hours of learning that you are unable to travel, otherwise the cancellation insurance policy is null & void.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
