Our CLASSIC COLLECTION  is the fastest growing travel segment and features both:

• CITY CLASSICS -- a single city and its surrounding areas are explored in the most optimum manner. This may include public transit, private taxi, private coach, and even walking when the attraction is very near by.
• COUNTRY CLASSICS -- a much larger region of a state or states is explored and you are privately chauffeured in comfortable vehicles on your daily outings, often being taken to places of interest and importance unable to be seen if with a larger group or in a larger vehicle.  A prime example is many of our country's lighthouses.

This special collection is one of the three "collections" that make up our unique program of select personally escorted adventures.  The other two are the LAND/AIR COLLECTION  and the CRUISE COLLECTION. 

The CLASSIC COLLECTION  presently consists of the featured opportunities shown on the right hand side of this page.  Detailed brochures can be viewed by entering the individual links.  Unless otherwise indicated on the brochure, each departure is governed by our normal Terms and Conditions.  Reservations easily made on any departure by emailing us at answers@travelpleasegoaway.com, calling us at 800-362-9347, or printing and using the Reservation Form available.

Each departure features all-inclusive pricing, meaning that everything shown on the brochure is included in the price shown.  All inclusive pricing also includes Travel Protection Insurance.  Prices shown on each brochure reflect included transportation from Central U.S., however, connecting travel arrangements are easily arranged for our travelers from other areas, and brochure prices are adjusted accordingly. 

SINGLE TRAVELER OPPORTUNITIES - Quite often we have both male and female travelers that have reserved, but are without a traveling companion to share accommodations.  This creates money saving opportunities for other single travelers of the same gender to avoid costly single supplement charges.  We "never" arbitrarily assign roommates, with the exception of our Guaranteed Share program available  to persons agreeing to a non-smoking policy on motor coach departures.   On all other departures we "always" will, with the approval of both parties, arrange for prospective sharers to meet or correspond so they can independently make a decision as to whether they desire to pursue this money-saving opportunity.  Inquire as to availabilities.

FRIENDSHIP BONUS PLAN - Our continued success and rapid growth over the past 41 years have largely been due to repeat travelers and travelers who recommend our one-of-a-kind travel experiences to their friends and family who have not "gone away" with us before.  To tangibly show our appreciation for such recommendations we have created an exclusive Friendship Bonus Plan, which provides the recommending party their choice of a 1% cash bonus or 2% future travel credit bonus.  Percentages are applied to what recommended persons  pay for their travels.  There is no limit on number of persons that can be recommended or bonus amounts that can be achieved.  84% of recipients select the future travel credit bonus.

Intrepid travelers Phil and Carol Woodmansee have "gone away" with us a number of times.  Carol has written critiques of their CLASSIC COLLECTION travels.  Copies of her Free Classic Reports are available.  Just ask!

 What make the CLASSIC COLLECTION so unique and exciting are that:

• You fly (sometimes Amtrak is used) to an exciting destination where you stay the entire time in a strategically located and top quality hotel or inn, with private balcony rooms overlooking the water, whenever possible. 
• You unpack and pack only once.
• You take daily included in depth personally escorted excursions to experience ethnic food offerings and major “sites and sights” of the area.
• Group sizes are intentionally limited so as to provide the optimum format of travel experiences.

You will also enjoy our CLASSIC COLLECTION if you like:

• Time to do “your own things”
• Travel savings
• Behind-the-scenes travel experiences to learn what an area is truly like
• Being privately chauffeured or otherwise taken on daily outings
• Quality “top-of-the-line” accommodations to which you “come home” each evening
• Freedom of choice

Reservation Form and Important Terms and Conditions are available for your use and review. 

These three "collections" enjoy a repeat factor of 94+% (some travelers having "gone away" with us on more than 70 personally escorted experiences).  Over the past 41 years all 7 continents and all the oceans of the world have been experienced and enjoyed by thousands.  Some of the more popular itineraries are repeated annually, while other and more diverse destinations are added periodically.

IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE RESERVING 2008 CLASSICS!

Because of their extreme popularity, these unique travel experiences are normally repeated on an annual basis with comparable departure dates.  This fact, coupled with their extreme popularity and limited availability, means that CLASSICS very often sell out 10 to 12 months in advance, well before brochures are printed and distributed.  To meet this demand, and to fully serve our travelers, we have adopted a policy of "reduced reservation deposits" of only $100 per  person, fully refundable until you have had the opportunity to study the pricing and inclusions.  This allows you to "lock in" your spaces and to avoid disappointment.   After publication in our travel catalog reduced deposits are no longer available.
