The May 2016 land-package of $3060 per person is based on twin or double occupancy and a minimum of 8 participants.

The Package does not include airfare, passport, travel insurance, one meal per day and items of a personal nature, (laundry, souvenirs, individual inner-city transportation, tips and drinks).

Individualized airfares allow you to leave from the city of your choice, to return home at leisure and to earn or use reward miles. Whatever you choose, we'll be happy to help you find and book the best airfare available. As of December 2015, economy fare direct flights from Chicago have been running between $1200 and $1600. We recommend checking many sites to find the best fare (airfarewatchdog.com leads to many cost-cutters, though often the airline's own site offers the least expensive) and to seatguru.com to find the best seats within each fare.

CLUB EUROPA of Urbana, Illinois operates this trip for us. Andy Benz, our agent, advises getting trip cancellation insurance (should YOU need to cancel! If Claudia has to cancel for any reason, you'll get a 100% refund.) The agency will send you further information after receiving your booking form and deposit.
