What a grand idea

Grand tours are back. Once the speciality of the British at the turn of the century, they are now being offered by Captain's Choice Tours run by Croydon Travel that offer simply the best.

And they have a track record which puts them in the big league for guided tours. They did the first Australian public tour to China in 1975, Bhutan 1977, Cuba, 1984, and Vietnam in 1989. They run a regular South American Tour Program and have an exclusive with Qantas to run charter flights to Antarctica.

They do everything in real style - the company hires its own ships and trains for its tours and brings along an Australian Doctor. Everything is included with escorts to look after all the problems of baggage, air tickets, checking in and out of aircraft and hotels and tipping. All you need is money for drinks, laundry and shopping.

The tours are really out of this world - The Mysteries of South America, Exotic Cultures of the Mediterranean (including dawn service at Gallipoli, so hurry to book), The Wonders of Africa - Cape Town to Cairo, Eastern Europe by Private Train, Scandinavia and Alaska and Yukon. The organisers have one of the classiest brochures you could imagine which is available by ringing 1 800 650 738. Get hold of one just to see how you can travel in style to places not covered by the run-of-the-mill guided tours. This is travelling in style.
