How do you choose a good package tour?

Question

Really overwhelmed, mom and I want to tour either Thailand or Egypt with land and cruise travel but don't know how to pick a good tour company. Any tips>

Answer 1

There is only one answer.....go to an ASTA Travel Agency and ask to sit down and talk.....and talk and talk.....there is a huge difference between the 2 destinations and I would tell you that both have big ups and bigger downs. Both have a high level of danger in the wrong areas and both are incredibly exciting.....Egypt wins for me. Go in with a time frame and a knowlege of what level of acconnodations that you want ie. Holiday Inn level, Hyatt Level or Four Seasons level...There should be no charge from a good agency....Stay away from any agent that is not a member of ASTA or ARTA! There are many agents that buy credentials for 400.00 and poof thay sell.   For good information, you are not haggeling over prices, but don't pay extra....
