Fun For Less

We have taken 10 trips with Fun For Less Tours.  That may seem like a lot but we have met people that have gone on 40 trips with them.  Yes, FORTY!

Why do we keep traveling with them?  There are many reasons.  We do think they give good value for the money.  The hotels are always top notch, the local guides are knowledgeable and personable, and they pack the maximum amount into a day of touring.  In fact, sometimes when I return from a Fun For Less trip I feel like I need a vacation to recover!

All those things definitely influence our tour company choices but five of the main reasons why we love Fun For Less are pictured right here.
Carol, Jim, Lyndsay and Spencer Tyndall
Michael Wilcox

The Tyndalls make us feel like part of their family and Michael Wilcox shares his insights into the history and culture of each country.  On this last trip we were treated to 9 of his lectures on things from Islam and Buddhism to Genghis Khan and Marco Polo. He treats other religions and beliefs in such a respectful way and his knowledge of history and literature is fantastic. George and I both learn so much from listening to him.
Being part of the Tyndall 'family' means that Jim and Lyndsay get to tease you as much as they want....and you get to tease back.  That makes things so much fun. 
I love traveling with Carol because she is a shopper and a photographer so I always just hang back with her and if she is late to the bus what is Jim going to say!  She laughs that she sets such a bad example but we love her for it. 
This is one of my all time favorite photos.  It is in Krakow, Poland on our Baltics trip.  Michael, Lyndsay and the other Tyndall sister, Jamie, had just returned from a shopping extravaganza.  I think that Mike was a little embarrassed but he didn't buy nearly as  much as the two sisters.  Jamie is just as fun to travel with as the rest of her family but since she has 4 kids at home she doesn't go as much. 
After one dinner on our Silk Road trip Jim and Carol got to be the Sultans.  They are such good sports! 
I wish that Jim and Carol could go on every trip we take but they spend a lot of their time traveling to new countries and researching future tours.  We benefit from their planning and have had the best trips ever. 
The Fun For Less logo says,  "We don't send you, we take you."  Our experience has shown that this is true.
