| 2017 South American tour |
--We are traveling with EF Educational Tours.
--This is a 10-day private tour June 19-28, 2017 especially for our adult group. We will not
be combined with any other groups. Note: EF now requires 4 days of flexibility on either side of our
requested departure date in order to find the best available flights.
--The current all-inclusive tour price is $4,875 per adult. This includes the $95 enrollment fee, departure
fees, program price, private bus, adult supplement, 7 overnight stays in double
rooms with private baths, roundtrip airfare from DFW, internal flights, all
breakfasts and dinners, lunches on days 3 and 9, samba lessons, 2 boat rides, jeep ride,
fiesta gaucha excursion, horseback riding, entrances to sites per
itinerary, guided sightseeing and walking tours, and full-time EF tour director.
--Those who have previously traveled with EF will receive an
additional $100 discount. This will be reflected on your account when
previous travel has been verified by EF.
--This tour offers two additional optional excursions. It is your individual choice whether you opt
for either, both, or neither of these extras.
The entire group does not have to enroll. 1) a Brazilian Evening ($120) a traditional
Rio Carnival experience show, and 2) Take an Argentine tango lesson in Buenos
Aires ($65)!
--EF continues to offer the EF Price Guarantee. Once you enroll on the tour, your price will
never change due to increase in program price. In addition, there will be NO INCREASING DEPARTURE FEES after you enroll!
--The optional $155 All-Inclusive Insurance Plan covers
medical and accident, baggage and property, flight delay, 24-hour emergency
assistance, and tour cancellation and interruption. The insurance is not required, but I do
recommend it as many U.S. insurance companies do not provide adequate insurance
for travel abroad. I would recommend
contacting your insurance company to make sure.
If you do not want it, you can decline it during enrollment. You can, however, add the all-inclusive
coverage plan up to 70 days prior to departure.
--This tour requires at least 30 participants for the
private bus at this price. If there are
fewer, the fee will increase slightly.
--Each participant must have a roommate or will be subject
to a single supplement charge.
--The minimum amount required at the time of enrollment is
$95.
--Enrollment options:
1. Internet:
enroll online quickly and easily at http://www.eftours.com/enroll. Our tour number is 1800998ST.
2. Phone:
call 1-877-205-9909.
4. Fax:
complete the enrollment form and fax to 1-800-318-3732.
--Payment options:
1. Manual Payment Plan: pay $95 with
enrollment and lock in the current price, required $500 due in 30 days, $500
due 90 days after enrollment, and the rest you may pay as you please as long as
the balance is paid 110 days prior to departure (about March 1, 2017). There is a $50 to use your credit card.
2. Monthly Payment Plan: pay $95 with
enrollment and lock in current price, then the balance is automatically divided
into small, manageable monthly payments deducted monthly from your checking
account as a bank draft or debit charge. With this plan
you have 2 more months (until May 19, 2017) to make payments (30 days prior to
departure) and you do not have to worry about late fees.
--When registering, you MUST put your name on the
application EXACTLY as it is on your passport or birth certificate. This is the same name that will be put on
your airplane tickets (and passport if you don’t have one yet) and the names
MUST match. Married women use your
married name. EF requires you to include
a middle name (or maiden name if that is on your passport) for enrollment.
--You will need a passport to travel abroad. If you have one, make sure it will be valid
at least six months after our return in 2017. Adult passports are good for 10 years;
children’s passports are good for five years.
If you do not have a passport, then wait until about 6 months prior to
departure to apply. You will also need a tourist visa to enter Brazil, which we will obtain prior to departure.
--Once we have organized our traveling group, I will keep
you informed of everything you need to know.
I will have a meeting a month prior to departure. Until then I will keep you informed on sites
we will see, what to expect, what to pack, how to obtain currency, where to
shop, how to get passports, inform you of airline flights and hotels…everything
you need to know through my travel blog at http://luv2go.blogspot.com.
Right now you just need to decide if you want to join us…and
we hope you do!
