Luxury Travel - First Cabin Travel - Since 1989 - Your Passport To Excellence

March 26, 2009 - PRLog -- Established in 1989, First Cabin remains committed to providing the discerning traveler with excellence in the development and operation of itineraries worldwide. In keeping with First Cabin’s tradition of offering the rare rather than the mundane, we proudly present our selection of recommended luxurious custom tour itineraries for destinations worldwide.

These itineraries, matched with the finest hotels, and premier transport are inclusive features for all of our tour programs. In addition, peace of mind is assured among our clientele by travelers’ funds being held in escrow by the Wells Fargo Bank of Rancho Santa Fe to be used solely for the operation of their specific tour and for no other purpose.

Every group tour departure is accompanied throughout by a professional tour guide who ensures not only that the journey is as promised, but even enhanced, thus exceeding tour members’ expectations. With every custom tour, you will be met upon arrival into each city by a local guide who will be every bit as professional as any one of First Cabin's tour managers.

As with travelers who have journeyed with First Cabin beforehand, I feel confident that your first tour experience with First Cabin, most certainly will not be your last. Repeat clientele are our mainstay and we look forward to showing you why.

First Cabin's custom tour department offers an excellent option for those who choose to travel on their own, as a couple or with their friends. it is in fact an unexpected bargain as shown by the details that follow.

If you took a tour to South America or India, had your own driver and guide, breakfast daily and accommodation at the finest hotel, you would expect to pay a premium price, right?

Not necessarily so!

You will actually pay less than a similar group luxury tour that doesn’t have the personal attention or the flexibility. Experienced travelers are finding the rewards for customized touring to be genuinely positive. A custom tour allows travelers to experience the best of a particular site, according to their personal preferences while a private driver and guide caters exclusively to them. With their private car, driver and guide, the traveler can choose when to begin the tour, spend more or less time at a particular site and can end the day whenever they feel the urge to return to their luxurious accommodation.

All First Cabin group tours include a tour manager, breakfast, lunch and dinner meals each day, with dinner meals served a la carte and gratuities paid to all service personnel. On a custom tour, the client is met upon arrival in each city, escorted to all sites by private vehicle and personal guide, who later sees them off to their next destination. Over these many years, First Cabin has established an outstanding rapport with the ground operators overseas, who take it upon themselves to make certain that First Cabin clientele are well cared for throughout the journey. Breakfast meals are included; lunch and dinner meals are left for the traveler to choose and gratuities are left to the travelers’ discretion as well. This adjustment allows the traveler to receive the luxury of a privatized custom tour at a price that is less than a similar group tour. Rather remarkable, really! First Cabin clients have grown to love the option.

Leslie Eisen of Denver says, ‘I chose Nepal and Tibet with First Cabin. They assigned female guides for me throughout the journey; it was a marvelous experience.’ The Danzigers of New York comment, ‘Burma on custom tour was superb. Our personal guide Daniel accompanied us the entire journey doting on our every need. We still marvel at how First Cabin can offer such a luxurious experience for less than a group tour price for a similar journey. We say similar, since custom touring affords far greater flexibility and a much greater degree of personal attention. We give First Cabin superlatives across the board.

Hal David, an Academy Award Recipient for his song “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” writes, “On three occasions thus far, my wife and I have chosen First Cabin to arrange our custom tour to distant lands. On all of the trips we were thrilled with the services rendered, which really made our holidays very special.” Lisa Miller of Andavo Travel, California says, “I use First Cabin to assist in creating custom tours for my clientele. It has been a highly successful and rewarding experience.”

Established in 1989 with staff experience in Southeast Asia and the Orient dating back to 1963, First Cabin offers both group and luxury custom tours highlighting Asia, the Orient, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Accommodations at the finest hotels offer the ultimate in luxurious service.
