General Tours World Traveler’s affordable, upscale programs are ideal for clients looking for immersive cultural encounters that are only possible in small groups.
Make sure clients know General Tours’ reputation as one of the country’s oldest and most respected tour operators, including the fact that it’s a founding member of the USTOA (it has posted a $1 million bond to protect travelers’ payments). Clients can be assured that they’re traveling with a well regarded company known for blending thoughtful and unique experiences with exceptional value.
Headquartered in Keene, N.H., General Tours World Traveler was founded in 1947 by travel industry pioneer Alex Harris. The company’s guiding philosophy originated at the Geneva Peace Conference following the Second World War, with a mission to build bridges of understanding between North America and Eastern Europe. Since that time, the company has expanded its operation well beyond Europe, and now operates on five continents. More than 1 million travelers have enjoyed getting to know the world through General Tours’ unique trips.
Now entering its 66thyear, the company continues to innovate and expand with its affordable, upscale collection of Small Group Journeys, Private Tours and Small Ship Cruising. With its industry-leading “Never more than 16 guests” Guarantee, General Tours World Traveler’s unique programs feature some of the world’s finest hotels, resorts, lodges and camps; congenial dining; and extensive sightseeing enhanced with immersive cultural encounters and authentic experiences not possible in a larger group.
Offering both escorted and FIT journeys, General Tours’ primary destinations include South America (especially Peru), Southeast Asia, India, China and Africa, with itineraries also available in Japan, Europe, Central America, Antarctica and the Middle East. Prices range from $1,599 per person for the seven-day Italy by Rail package to $10,999 per person for the 14-day South African Style with Rovos Rail itinerary.
The company’s travel agent commission rate is 10%, with additional overrides based on consortia membership.
