INDIA Tour

with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest 18 day tour - October 28, 2024

Kathmandu, Nepal

Why this year is the best year to explore India

We build our India tours around the rare opportunity to visit the best part of the Pushkar Festival that only happens during 5 days each year. The timing of the festival for 2024 has allowed us to design our tour with advantages we have not had in the past. Here is why you should pick 2024 as the year to take our tour to India: • The purchase power of the dollar this year compared to past years: In the past for every dollar we traded for Indian Rupees (India’s money), we received somewhere between 42 to 50 Rupees. This year for every dollar we are able to get 82 Rupees per dollar. This is the best exchange rate we have ever seen. We are purchasing the Indian Rupees now and putting them in the bank to insure the huge savings for our 2024 group. No one knows when the number of Rupees per dollar will go back into the 40’s per dollar. • We have tried for years to be able to get into the Umaid Bhawan Palace. It is the home of the Jodhpur Royal Family and currently the world’s sixth-largest private residence in the world. For 2024, we have been able to arrange that our group will stay in this fairy tale palace for 2 nights. A highlight of highlights! • The Samode Palace: Normally you have to arrange 2 years in advance to stay in this special palace. The owners know the Prince that owns the palace and he has decided to let us have the whole palace for our groups stay. • When you take into consideration the other Maharaja's palaces we stay in, there has never been a time that our groups have had this much luxury – especially at the price we are able to offer those going in 2024!

The quality of hotels in India can make or break your tour. Most 3, 4 and even some 5-star hotels are not up to US standards. Almost all of our luxury hotels are their own gated community with large private areas, pools and manicured gardens AND most important – they have the highest quality of food that is needed when you are traveling in a 3rd world country. Our hotels, for the most part beat 5-star US standards. Taj is one of the top hotel brands in the world, exceeding Hilton, Marriott and others. Many of our hotels in India are in Taj hotels. Your tour includes real 5-star opulent luxury palaces (built by Maharajas), along with 5-star luxurious hotels! Here is a partial list of hotels we expect to use on your tour: the 5-star Taj Palace, Hotel Deli (found on lists of top hotels in the world) – The 5-star Marriott Hotel Kathmandu – The 5-star Taj Ganges in Varanasi (with 42 acres of gardens) - the 5-star Jaypee Palace Agra in its own vast expanse of greenery and gardens. The 5-star Taj Mahal Palace in Jaipur, with over 17 acres of manicured gardens and pools – The Umaid Bhawan Palace the residence of royalty with 26 acres of private gardens and pools - 5-star Pushkara Resort and Spa with its 9 acres of private property – the 475 year old 5-star Samode Palace, grounds cover the canyon it is in, plus the surrounding hills. Pushkar Festival: National Geographic created a list of the ten places you should see before you die. Pushkar Festival was on that list. As part of your tour, you will have the rare opportunity to experience the famous Pushkar Festival. The Pushkar Festival is considered the oldest festival in the world. It has been held annually for over 1,000 years. An astonishing 50,000 camels along with cattle and horses are brought to Pushkar each year to barter and sell. It’s a fascinating and spectacular sight that will rank at the top of your list of travel experiences. Less than 2% of the visitors to India get the opportunity to attend a Pushkar Festival. There are only a few 5-star hotels and a few 1 to 2-star small hotels at Pushkar, so most of the visitors have to stay in tents during their visit to the festival. With our connections in India, we have been given one of the 5-star luxury hotels for our group to stay in.

INDIA TOUR with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest 18 day tour - October 28, 2024

Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur Home of the royal family, one of the largest private residences in the world. Be treated like Royalty during your stay at the Opulent Bhawan Palace! A FEW of the Fantastic Highlights you’re going to experience India will amaze you, everyone we take to India, comes away stating “it was their best trip anywhere in the world”. You need to move it to the top of your bucket list. Here is a small list of the highlights you will experience: · Kathmandu, Nepal: you will love the ancient architecture and old villages. · Flight to Mt. Everest: We charter planes that will fly to Mt. Everest for a closer fly by. · The Ganges: Most tours do not include Varanasi and the sacred river, the Ganges. In the Hindu religion, the river Ganges is revered as a goddess whose purity cleanses the sins of the faithful and aids the dead on their path toward heaven. You will witness some of their religious traditions. · The Taj Mahal: Considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. · The Jaipur Amber Palace: you will ride elephants to the top of the hill containing the Amber Fort made out of pale yellow and pink sandstone, along with white marble. A true highlight. · Jodhpur the Blue City: Blue is considered a sacred color. Settlers in the region dabbed their houses in blue hues. Jodhpur has become known as the blue city. · The massive opulent Royal Umaid Bhawan Palace; that will be a highlight to stay in.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”


New!

· The massive Mehrangarth Fort in Jodhpur: This is the most beautiful ancient fortress palace in all of India and should not be missed. · Pushkar Festival: With so few days in a year that the 1,000 year old festival is held and so few places to stay in the out of the way Pushkar area, very few tourists are ever able to experience the Pushkar Festival. Most have to stay in tent camps, but we have one of the few 5-star resort hotels for our passengers. This is only available to our passengers because of connections the owners of Fun For Less Tours have in India. · Maharaja Palaces: Many of them are so stunning that they become an attraction unto themselves. We usually leave early and return around 4pm back to the Maharaja Palaces. This gives our passengers time to leisurely explore the beautiful grounds, take a swim in some of the beautiful swimming pools and enjoy dinner on patios overlooking the manicured gardens. · The Country of Bhutan: Few, if any, tourists ever get permission to visit Bhutan – stepping back in time where little has changed in hundreds of years. This is an optional extension, but if you have time and have the money we highly recommend it. Bhutan wants to limit the number of tourists. One of the ways is, they charge $200 a day per tourist, in addition to any visas, flights, hotels and other expenses related to the trip. That means, with our group staying 4 nights, we are paying between $800 and $1,000 per person just for the right to enter Bhutan. Expensive, but we believe it is worth it.

“Tiger’s Nest” Himalayan Buddhist Temple - Bhutan

Optional 4 Day Extension To The Ancient Country of Bhutan

Bhutan is a small picturesque country located high in the Himalayas with a border to Tibet. It was almost completely cut off for centuries with no roads in or out. It has tried to let in some aspects of the outside world while fiercely guarding its ancient traditions. They still wear clothing styles that are from the 16th century. Bhutan “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, only began to open up to outsiders in the 1970’s. Bhutan’s ancient Buddhist culture, friendly people and breathtaking scenery make it a natural tourist attraction. Tourism is very restricted. They limit the number of visas each year and all visitors must travel as part of a pre-arranged package or guided tour, it is not open to independent travelers. Fun For Less Tours' owners have been to Bhutan and have worked hard to obtain a chance for our passengers to visit this wonderful country. We highly recommend you add this optional extension!!!!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRAIN 15 day train tour - August 12, 2024

New!

The Majestic Canadian Rockies by Train has been voted “The BEST Train Trip in the World” for 7 years in a row. The very BEST in Hotels: The “Best Train Trip in the World” needed to have the BEST in Luxury Hotels! The very BEST Luxury Hotels in Canada are the iconic Fairmont Hotels. They are extremely hard to get into for groups, they usually prefer individual bookings as they can often get 100’s of dollars more per room per night. It often takes us months to finally arrange all the hotels we want at a date that will also match reserving our train seats all in GoldLeif train cars. This is the rare opportunity to stay in the “Castle in the Rockies” Fairmont Springs Hotel in Banff, the “Castle in the City” Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, the Iconic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria and the Luxurious Fairmont Chateau Whistler. They are hotels everyone longs to experience, but rarely can afford. Our negotiated group pricing has put all of these iconic luxurious hotels within your reach. Combining the luxury iconic Fairmonts with the upgraded GoldLeaf Train service does make this tour a little more expensive - but it is far less than if you tried to do this train trip and hotels on your own. You only live once and this special train trip will bring you memories that will last the rest of your life. It is worth every penny!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRAIN 15 day train tour - August 12, 2024

There is no other program that can compare to what this special unique tour has to offer! Our tour is not a copy of others. We have evaluated everything there is to see and experience in upper Washington, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Alberta, and the majestic Canadian Rockies. We combined some of the best places to see and experience with the “World’s Best Train.” We start in Seattle, heading north to Fidalgo Island, where we will stay overnight. While there, we will tour Fidalgo Island and take a ferry through the San Juan Islands, with a stop in San Juan’s Islands Friday Harbour (a walking town). We then travel by ferry to the wonderfully picturesque town of Port Townsend before overnighting in Port Angeles. Before heading by ferry to Victoria on Vancouver Island, we will spend a day on one of the most beautiful drives in the U.S. as we visit Olympic National Park and its picturesque rainforest. From our gorgeous hotel on Victoria Harbour, we will tour the area, along with visiting the beautiful and famous Butchart Gardens. Then it’s back on a ferry to the mainland and on to the wonderful ski resort village of Whistler and our Fairmont Chateau. Whistler is even more picturesque in the summer. From there, we head to Vancouver and our luxury Castle in the City Fairmont Hotel. When you think it couldn’t get better, we enter the highlight after highlight section of our tour as we board our GoldLeaf train car for our trip through the majestic Canadian Rockies. You will all be in the luxury “First” class seating, as everyone will be in Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf two-story train car – with its 5-star restaurant and outdoor observation deck on the bottom floor and its full domed glass roof, giving completely unobstructed views, on the top floor. After our train ride through the Rockies, we will spend 3 glorious nights in the “Castle in the Rockies” Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. From there, we will tour Banff, Lake Louise, and the Columbian Ice-fields before heading to our Marriott Hotel in Calgary for two nights. After touring Calgary, you will head home with memories that will last a lifetime. This is a special tour designed by Fun For Less Tours to bring you the BEST that this part of the world has to offer. No one else has a tour that comes close. Again, what makes this Fantastic trip even more unique and special is the opportunity to stay in the world-famous, very expensive, and very luxurious 5-Star Hotels throughout your trip.

ARCTIC CIRCLE

& NORWEGIAN FJORDS CRUISE 17 day cruise/tour - July 3, 2024 with Glenn Rawson

Panoramic view on town Alesund, Norway A Rare Treat Being in the Arctic this time of year, you can witness the “midnight sun”. This far north, the first part of July, the sun may not even set. For sure it will stay light all night long. The most impressive Fjords in the world are the Chillan Fjords and the Norwegian Fjords. The word stunning to describe the Norwegian Fjords, may not be strong enough. This is one of the most staggeringly beautiful trips you can take anywhere on this earth. Cruising through the Fjords of Norway all the way into the Arctic Circle is an experience rarely matched by any other tour or cruise. We start in Amsterdam where you will experience windmills, dykes, canals, boat rides and Ann Franks house. We then sail from Amsterdam for 14 days 13 nights all way into the Arctic Ocean. One of your ports of call is at the very northern tip of Norway in the Arctic Ocean. You will sail through many stunning fjords and stop to explore in many beautiful ports of call. You will pass and stop at many of the quaint villages located throughout Norway’s Fjords. Your ports of call include: Geiranger, Molde, Honningsvag, Tromso, Flam (with its Flam Railway), Alesund, Olden and Bergen in the Norwegian Fjords. Life just doesn’t get any better than this. With the gigantic savings we received over what the ship is selling cabins for – 2024 is the best year to sail through the Norwegian Fjords.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER Memphis to New Orleans with Branson Christmas Shows!

15 day cruise/tour - November 30, 2024 with Glenn Rawson

historic Nottoway plantation in Louisiana A Mississippi paddle boat cruise is exciting, fun, and relaxing. You will love old New Orleans, the airboat ride through the swamps, the many old plantation homes, the Civil War sites, and most of all; you will love experiencing what it was like 100 years ago sailing the Mississippi River on a replica of a luxury paddle boat. Our educator will be there to enhance your experience by bringing the history of the area to life. We have combined the American Queen Paddle Steamboat package with 1 additional night in New Orleans and 1 additional night in Memphis after the cruise. Our tour in New Orleans will include the World War II Museum, the Mardi Gras World (where they are in the middle of building next year’s floats), and Bourbon Street. Our tour in Memphis will include the Civil Rights Museum, the home of Elvis Presley’s Graceland. We love doing the Mississippi after Thanksgiving, as the temperatures are just right for touring, and we are into the Christmas season with all the lights. When you travel by paddle boat starting in New Orleans and ending in Memphis, it allows us to add Branson, the show capital of the world. You have three days of experiencing some of the very BEST Christmas Shows Branson has to offer. Overall you will enjoy 10 Christmas shows - one of which will be the George Dyer Show. An added highlight, while in Branson, George Dyer will join you as part of our staff during your time in Branson.

There are only a few times each year when the cruise leaves from one side of the U.S. and transits through the Panama Canal, and ends up on the other side of the U.S. We love this cruise itinerary. We plan to add a unique night in an upgraded room with window on the famous Queen Mary parked at the Long Beach wharf. It would include a night stay, breakfast and a Tour of the ship. The Queen Mary will open for booking groups about 10 months before our October departure. We do expect to be able to make arrangements for our group, but if for any reason we are unable to book the cabins on the Queen Mary, we will still do the tour of the Queen Mary and will make some adjustments to pricing if we stay in another hotel. After our night in the Queen Mary, along with breakfast, we will head to our Royal Caribbean Cruise ship waiting for us in Los Angeles. There are 8 ports of call on this cruise – we have included the shore excursion in every port. We will also be doing a tour in Tampa Area with an additional night before flying home. Those that would like to extend their stay in Florida can take the short drive to Disneyland and Universal Studios.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”


Exotic Morocco Every day is another huge highlight day on this special newly designed tour and cruise. You are going to love every minute, but most of all you’re going to love Morocco! There isn’t room to share how exciting and wonderful Morocco is. The Tyndall family, who owns Fun For Less Tours, crossed from Spain to Morocco by ferry for their inspection tour of Morocco. Upon arrival they found a driver of a van and hired him off the street to take them all over Morocco. Hiring a stranger off the streets in Tangier, Morocco, to drive your family for several days throughout Morocco, is not what we recommend for our passengers to do. But for the Tyndall family it was the best way to explore and experience everything in Morocco. It also shows how safe they felt in Morocco. Because of the movie Casablanca it may be the most famous city in Morocco, but the best of the best can be found in Marrakesh. You are going to love the medieval walled city that makes up part of Marrakesh AND you will never forget the carnivallike atmosphere of Marrakesh at night. The huge square becomes a gigantic flea market – filled with numerous sellers of wares, street performers, fortune tellers and snake charmers playing a pungi (their wind instrument) to their cobras. This will be a highlight you will remember forever! We also visit the impressive mountains near Marrakesh in 4-wheel drive vehicles. Come join us on our fantastic 21-day Exotic Morocco, Spain and Portugal Tour and Cruise with your educator. Celebrity Cruise line has been voted the BEST Premium Cruise Line! Between the cruise and tour, you will experience a Mediterranean Cruise, the very best of Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the Rock of Gibraltar and the island of Palma De Mallorca.

Jim and Carol Tyndall, along with Jamie, their daughter (owners of Fun For Less Tours), were able to experience this fantastic part of the world on a private train. At the time, the train was not visiting Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan. Knowing the train missed the countries of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, they went in early to explore the areas the train missed. Even though they had all traveled to over a hundred countries, they knew almost nothing about Central Asia and its history of the Silk Road. To say they were overwhelmed with the ancient beauty and the people – would be an understatement. To Jim, Carol and Jamie it shot right up near the top of all the places they have ever visited. After the trip, they agreed to charter the whole train for our groups – BUT, they needed to redesign the train's itinerary and needed to add the countries of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. A train is not like a bus that you can just take a different road, pull over almost anywhere and stop or park. Getting permission to travel by rail, wanting to stop and park your train like a bus is not easy. It took close to a year of working with all of the governments and local train companies to get permission to change our itinerary and add the additional two Stans - Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, The only reason this is possible, is because we are chartering the whole train, changing the itinerary, and adding additional nights on the train.

A Few Things to Consider:

• The huge price savings from our chartering the whole train. As far as we know, no one has ever chartered the entire private train through the Silk Road in Central Asia. Chartering the whole train created huge savings. Our price on the train is $1,300 per person less than what the train company charges when it is not a Charter AND they do not include all 4 countries and our improved itinerary! That is only reserved for our charters. • NO LONG DRIVES! On Jim and Carol’s trip they met many people traveling through the Silk Road by bus. When they asked how they liked their tour, everyone said they loved the sites, and the hotels, but the long drives were exhausting and grueling! They spent ½ of their time or more doing long drives. There were many days of driving that were 6 hours or more before they reached the next area to tour. Then when they arrived, they were given less time than they would have liked to see the sights. WE HAVE NO LONG DRIVES! We will travel by train at night and then tour during the day. Some of the bus travelers they met said they had looked at the train but it only visited 2 of the Stan countries. They wanted all 4, so they went by bus. You will get all 4 Stans without any long drives, plus you will have plenty of time to enjoy the many beautiful sites. Please, Please, Please listen to us. This is the BEST designed tour of the Silk Road, the BEST in hotels, the BEST deluxe train – All at the BEST price you will ever see!! We have chartered the whole train in 2023. If you want to experience one of the most unique and exotic tours in the world, while traveling on luxury train – this needs to jump to the top of your list. No other tour in the world can deliver what this tour does.

Dubai "Miracle Garden" (over 150 million flowers in full bloom) 68

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”


The Dubai Cruise is the very BEST way to visit this part of the world. We have combined the cruise with a land tour along with a fun, luxurious beach resort. This cruise includes: Dubai, UAE; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Sir Bani Yas, UAE; Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and Doha, Qatar. The land tour portion includes: Muscat, Oman; Salalah, Oman, along with the #1 most luxurious hotel in Dubai - the Raffles and one of the BEST beach resorts in all the world. This tour is not a religious tour, but like all of the tours that we do all over the world, whenever we are at sacred sites of any religion, like the Vatican, Temple Mount, a Muslim Mosque, etc., we discuss the significance and history of the area we are in, along with its religious history. There are two such sites on this tour: The beautiful majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, involving the Muslim religion. The second is in Salalah, Oman, involving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scholars agree that the land Bountiful mentioned in the Book of Mormon is located somewhere near Salalah.

Dubai is Another Word for Luxury

When it comes to Dubai, the word Luxury, may not be adequate - everything in Dubai is a cut above other areas of the world that use the word Luxury. Hotels in Dubai are over the top, and your hotels tops them all. You stay in the #1 hotel out of over 1,000 Dubai hotels – the Dubai Raffles. In this Luxury Hotel, every room is over 750 square feet and luxurious – even your curtains in the room are controlled by a button. Then there is your Luxurious Beach Resort that might be worth the whole trip to Dubai. For what we include, rooms start at $1,200 a night and go up to well over $25,000 a night for the suites. Don’t worry we have an in, you get to stay for a small fraction of what others pay. The beach resort has 19 swimming pools, 40 restaurants, a huge (included) water park, 1.2 miles of private beach, and 2.3 miles of waterways or canals that wind through the property (think Venice). The waterways have small boats to whisk you around the property to the different restaurants, swimming pools, and beach areas.

Cruise, Shore Excursions, and Added Flights

Your 7 Night Cruise is on the MSC Virtuosa ship. With the exception of the stop in Yas, we have included all the shore excursions off the ship. We have also included four flights: Dubai to Salalah, Salalah to Muscat, Muscat to Riyadh and Riyadh to Dubai. You really will experience some of the best the world has to offer on this special cruise and tour. Everyone we have ever taken to Dubai has loved every minute!!!! Now it is your chance to do the same!

Fly the #4 BEST Airline in the whole World!

Emirates Airline has been voted the number one airline in the world numerous times; it is currently rated the #4 airline in the world. In comparison, Delta comes in at the #37 best airline, United comes in at the #88 best airline, and American Airlines is listed at the #79 best airline.

In Germany alone, there are close to 3,000 Christmas markets - In Europe the number could reach over 10,000 Christmas markets. There are many lists of the Top 10 best in the world - they are not all the same – But after reviewing close to 20 articles that list the top 10 or so BEST Christmas Markets, we find out of the tens of thousands of Christmas Markets in the world, only about 30 Christmas Markets, overall, ever find their way into someone’s BEST Christmas Markets list. Some of those that we will visit in 2024 are very unique - One is in a Gorge deep in the Black Forest, another is on a ship, another is in a series of caves and another is a huge Christmas Market in a Train Station. Here is the list of Christmas Markets we will visit in 2024 that have made it into someone’s top 10 list: • Munich Christkindlmarkt in Marienplatz square: Dating back to the 14th century. Home of living customs and old crafts. Germany’s largest Nativity scene market. We will also plan to visit the Nativity Museum while in Munich. • Ravenna Gorge: Considered the most beautiful market in Germany. A unique Christmas Market. • Konstanz Lake-side Christmas Market: A unique Christmas Market with even a ship filled with Christmas Markets. • Zurich Christindlimarket: The largest indoor Christmas Market in Europe located in a Train Station. • Basel Christmas Markets: Recently voted the BEST Christmas Market in Europe. • Strasbourg “The Capital of Christmas”: For over 400 years they have been holding Christmas Markets – makes many of the Top 10 lists, some at #1. • Freiburg Christmas Market. • Cologne Christmas Market: makes many of the Top 10 lists, some at #1. • Amsterdam Christmas Market • Bruges Christmas Market: a highlight to visit any time – but stunning at Christmas time. • Volkenburg “Christmas Town”: It is rumored Santa actually comes from Valkenburg. It is also home of unique Christmas Market located in Caves. • Brussels Christmas Market: A Christmas Wonderland. Between the luxurious AmaWaterways cruise ports of call and the Fun For Less Tours added Land Tour, you really are going to experience the BEST Christmas Markets in the world. If there is one feeling you can describe while visiting all of the Christmas Markets, it is happiness.

TRAVELS of PAUL TOUR New Testament Studies

14 day tour - September 13, 2024 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

Parthenon at sunset, Athenian Acropolis in Athens - Greece This special tour is a wonderful chance to enhance your studies of the New Testament with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox. If you are spending time studying the New Testament in your church or on your own this year – next year would be the perfect time to visit many of the sites mentioned in the New Testament. The tour also includes early Christian history in the areas you are visiting. Below is a small list of some of the highlights you will experience on Dr. S. Michael Wilcox’s Travel of Paul and the Apostles Tour: · Athens: Paul taught on Mars Hill at the base of the Acropolis. · Corinth: Paul spent over a year in Corinth working, teaching and starting a church. · Ephesus: Paul and John were involved in creating the church in Ephesus and other churches in the surrounding area. · The Island of Patmos: From Ephesus, we will travel by private ferry to the Isle of Patmos, Turkey. This is where John wrote the book of Revelations. Patmos is really a Greek island but it is closer to Turkey than to the mainland of Greece. · Rome: Paul was held in prison near the Forum of Rome, and it was here that Paul died a martyr for his faith. There are three other wonderful places that we will visit that are filled with early Christian history. All fall into our favorite places to visit in the world. • Istanbul: Many of the religious sites in Istanbul have both ancient Christian history and ancient Muslim history. • Cappadocia: Underground cities where up to 20,000 early Christians hid from persecution. The caves cities have up to 13 levels. We will not try to visit all of the many miles of caves or try to visit 13 levels deep, but we will visit enough that this will become a huge highlight day. • Meteora Monasteries: Our train ride and visit to Meteora’s Ancient Monasteries, built on top of sheer rock pinnacles, will be another huge highlight day.

ISRAEL & JORDAN 10 day tour - May 31, 2024 with Michael Wilcox

Jerusalem skyline, Israel

Garden Tomb - Jerusalem

The Treasury - Petra, Jordan

Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem

Your tour will include many of the important spiritual sites in Israel. You will have the chance to experience Petra on this tour. Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World!

Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience:

Jerusalem, the sea of Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem Center, Nazareth, Garden of Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb, Mount of Beatitudes, Mt. Carmel, Capernaum, Masada, Caesarea, Antonia Fortress, tour around Temple Mount, Palace of Caiaphas, Jordan River, swim in the Dead Sea and Petra, Jordan! We also visit places others miss or are not allowed to visit. Some even leave off Bethlehem, and most leave off Jordan! One of the sites missed by everyone else is the ongoing excavations of the City of Lehi. A cave was discovered a short distance down from Jerusalem with writings of a Prophet from 600 BC. The Nomad tribes consider the hill above the cave to be a sacred place. As they put it, “Before there was Muhammad there was a great prophet named Lehi and he taught from that hill”. We do not know if this is our Lehi, but we do know this will be a huge highlight as you visit an active archaeological dig. The excavations are on an Army Base. Only those excavating and Fun For Less Tours have been given permission to go onto the site. To see a video on the Lehi excavations go to the Israel section of our website you will find a link. NOTE: The excavations are now far enough along, there are stairs into the underground excavations.

BRANSON CHRISTMAS 7 day 6 night trip - November 13, 2023

Known as the “Live Show Capital of the World” Branson is a feel-good, entertaining, fantastic experience. It is a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Most of our passengers enjoy Branson as much or more than New York’s Broadway. You can’t compare one show like “Wicked” to any one show in Branson, but the sheer enjoyment and fun of Branson overall actually outweighs Broadway. The secret to Branson is choosing the right shows. Branson has more live shows than anywhere else in the world. At any given time, there may be over 150 shows to pick from. We have picked our shows after a lot of research, personal experiences, and recommendations from friends that live in Branson. We also look for a variety of shows. With us, you really will get the BEST of the BEST. Then there are the gigantic price differences between Branson and New York. Hotel rooms near Broadway can easily cost over $400 per room per night. Decent seats for a Broadway play can easily be over $200 per show and the best seats at a Broadway play can easily cost $400 or more per ticket. Branson is not only more fun and enjoyable; you also pay a fraction of what you would pay in New York. The best part – for all of our Branson show’s we have the best seating. Most groups are placed back into the cheap seats. That does not happen to our passengers. We pay extra to ensure our groups get the best seating. We buy center section seats starting on row two and proceed back through the premium seats for our groups. There are no other groups in front of our passengers. The enjoyment and experience of sitting in the best seats in the theaters to watch the BEST shows in Branson – ensure you’re going to love Branson! When you add it all together with the quality of shows, the best seats in the theater, along with our quality boutique hotel, you will understand why no other company can come close to delivering the experience we offer our passengers. During your 6 days in Branson, we have a total of 13 fantastic shows, all unique and different, bringing you the best Branson has to offer. Some of the shows are good enough to qualify as Broadway Musicals.

122

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”


We also look at how people have rated a show. Rating choices are: Excellent, Very Good, Average, Poor, Terrible. What we are most interested in is what percentage rated a show Excellent combined with the percentage of those rated a show Very Good. You really have to like a show to rate it Excellent or Very Good. There are plenty of shows whose combined Excellent and Very good ratings can’t even get to 60%. EVERY show we have listed below has a rating of a combination of about 90% or better.

Below is a list of the shows you will be experiencing and the combined % rating of Excellent and Very Good. • The Petersen’s Blue Grass: 99.8% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. Authentic Blue Grass music and clean comedy. They are rated on some sites as the #1 Show in Branson. • The play “Esther” at the Sight and Sound Theater: 97.1% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. This play is a full-blown Broadway-type musical, so phenomenal it will blow you away. • The #1 Hits of the 60’s Show: 96.6% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. During the show, they will sing all or part of over 100 top hits with over 100 costume changes – dubbed “the most fun you’ll have in Branson.” This show was awarded the Branson Show of the Year – BEST afternoon show in Branson for 2020. • George Dyer Christmas Show: 97.5% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. Broadway and a little opera so good it will send chills down your back. PLUS, George and his wife Clarisse (who is also in the show) are your Fun For Less Tour Managers throughout the time you are in Branson. Bringing music and fun while you drive to your different shows. • Haygoods Christmas Show: 96.4% rated the show Excellent or Very Good.– often considered the BEST musical show in Branson – they have the best staging with their light show, lighted costumes, and pyrotechnics. • Illusionist Rick Thomas – Mansion of Dreams: 97.1% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. Voted Branson’s “Entertainer of the Year” Performed in over 50 countries, including sold-out performances in Caesars Colosseum and on Broadway. He will amaze you. • All Hands on Deck: 95% rated the show Excellent or Very Good.– Great Broadway-quality Musical. Takes place in 1942 with a 9-piece orchestra. It is highly recommended. • Dutton Family Christmas: 96.7% rated the show Excellent or Very Good.– a complete professional family production that you will thoroughly enjoy. • Clay Cooper’s Country Express Christmas Show: 98.1% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. A mixture of country, comedy, and other music. Our owner’s favorite, and they don’t even like country music. Clay is that good. • Hughes Brothers Christmas Show: 94.9% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. For 14 years in a row, they have been voted the #1 Christmas Show in Branson. • Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Show: 91.4% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. Dinner with a show similar to an indoor rodeo with horses & wagons combined with Christmas. You will be surprised how well everything comes together. • Cassandra Voice of an Angel: 89.5% rated the show Excellent or Very Good. A feel-good performance with a large orchestra. • TBA: We have one more show that we will be adding.
