Booking Requirements: An initial payment of $300, per person, is required to confirm your reservations. This payment is applied to your total amount due.
Terms and Conditions: All rates are per person and based on hotel room occupancy. Prices listed are cash/check prices. If you wish to pay by credit card, the bank’s 2.9% transaction fee will be added to your final balance.
Temples: Hopefully the Palmyra Temple will be open during our tour dates. As we get closer to July 2023, we will determine when to schedule ordinance work if it is available.
Flights: You will need two one-way flights. The first flight on Monday July 10, 2023 is from your home airport to Syracuse, NY (airport code SYR). The second flight is to your home airport on Saturday July 15, 2023 from Cleveland, OH (airport code CLE). I am happy to help you locate the best price and the best itinerary for your flights, but you will ultimately book these two flights directly with the airline carrier.
Buses: Our deluxe chartered bus provides the best comfort available for our journey. We only charter the best buses and also the best professional drivers. We will only take one bus on each tour. Having one bus allows our guide to spend the whole day with you telling the history, doctrine, and stories. Plus, if you join a tour with more than one bus, you end up spending all of your time waiting in line for meals and the restroom!
