“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
The BEST Christmas Experience! No matter what else you have scheduled with us in 2024, you need to add the short, inexpensive Branson Christmas to this year’s planning. Known as the “Live Show Capital of the World,” Branson is a feel-good, entertaining, over the top, fantastic experience. It is a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Most of our customers 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. If you talk with those that have been with our company to Branson, they will tell you it was one of the most entertaining trips they have ever experienced. Here is why our Branson Experience is better than any other company: •

Choosing the Right Shows: Branson has close to 150 different shows performing at any one time. That is why it is the “Live Show Capital of the World”. The secret to having a great Branson experience is choosing the right shows! We have selected our shows after a lot of personal experiences, by our owners or staff. We also have friends that live in Branson that we have visited every show we are considering. We then do our research on each show we are considering. Those that have actually seen a Branson show are asked to rate their experience. They are given a choice of the show being Excellent OR Very Good OR Average (just ok) OR Poor OR Terrible. You really have to love 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 take our passengers to have a rating of over 90%! The majority of the shows we take you to have a combined rating of well over 95% of the customers rating the show Excellent or Very Good. I don’t believe there is any other company can say that. For example there is a show most of the companies we know take their customers to - the Winter Wonderland Show. It looks good in pictures and advertising, but only 65% of those that see the show rate it Excellent or Very Good – that means 35% of those that saw the show rate it at best ok, or they may have even rated it a Poor show or even a Terrible show. Why take your customers to a play that likely over 1/3 of your customers won’t think the show was that great. We make sure we take our customers to only the very best shows available. Choosing the Right Seats: The best seats and the most expensive seats for a Broadway Play are in the center section near the front of the theater. When you are up close you can see the expression of the actors or those performing. It is no different in Branson. We go after the best seats. On all of our shows, we are center section down at the front of the theater – the very best seats in the theater! Our tours are escorted by George and Clarisse Dyer – They have what is considered one of the best shows in Branson. Look at their show rating - 97.5% of those that have experienced their show rated it either Excellent or Very Good. During your time in Branson, they are our tour managers that will go with you to your shows, lunches and dinners. Then on Saturday, your last day before going home, you will experience their show live on stage. Every morning they greet you with a song as you head off to your wonderful day of fantastic shows. Note: On two of the days while you are at one of your shows, they will leave you for a couple of hours to do their show for other groups.
It’s no wonder we have the best tour to Branson – we include only the best shows, we have the best seating center section for every show AND you have the best in tour managers.
