*Please note: families have mentioned in the past that our tours cost the same for 1 person as it would for their entire family to go on vacation together. There are expenses we incur as a group that a single family would not, like bus rental, rehearsal venue rental, liability insurance, & tour planning fees. There are also items provided to our tour participants before and during the tour that are included in the price like personalized t-shirts, personalized tour merchandise, snacks, water, etc.
