In his August ’05 “Far Horizons” column, Randy Keck asked readers to recommend long-haul, single-destination group tours. Most of our organized touring has focused on single destinations.
My husband and I took a trip with Elderhostel (Boston, MA; 877/426-8056 or www.elderhostel.org) to the Baltic capitals — Vilnius, Lithuania; Riga, Latvia, and Tallinn, Estonia — plus St. Petersburg and Moscow, June 23-July 11, ’05.
We took an an excellent trip to Paris (six nights) and Nice (three nights), May 23-June 2, ’05, arranged by France Vacations (Chatsworth, CA; 800/332-5332 or www.francevacations.net).
My wife and I traveled to Turkey with Umit Dogan, the owner of Treasures of Travel (Box 714, Edmonds, WA 98020; 800/572-0526). The land price of our 21-day tour was $2,800 per person.
