Dear Dr Alencherry,
Good Morning! Hope you are doing well.
My sincere apologies for the delay in responding to you.
Finally I have worked out a great program and I am very pleased to attach the program for May15.
Summary:-
Dates -
4May-15
Rate - 35 Passengers - $3,878 from IAD
Hotel - 4 Star Accommodation 10 Nights
Air - International Flights Included (Round Trip)
Meals - 10 Breakfast & 10 Dinners
Fuel Surcharge - Included
Free - I Preist & 1/2 off for 1 Assistant ( Fuel Surcharge about $600 to be paid )
If the priest is traveling we can arrange for masses to be held on the tour.
Land Only Arrangement , excluding the air will be $ 2298
We can expect the rates to drop by about $500 if we opt for 3Star hotels
Includes:
International Flights from IAD
Fuel Surcharge
10 nights hotel accommodation (4 Star)
Continental buffet breakfast daily; 10 dinners (wine included for the welcome dinner)
English speaking tour escort for the whole tour
English speaking guides: Lisbon; Fatima; Santiago de Compostela;
Burgos; Lourdes; Zaragoza;
Madrid
Entrance fees: Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon; Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela; Cathedral in
Burgos; Cathedral in Zaragoza; Prado Museums
Porterage at the hotel of one suitcase per person
Deluxe fully equipped motor-coach as per program
Now we need to try and lock in the rates and block the group space. Flights will start closing out on large group space so I will need to give an indication to the inbound operator soon. I am negotiating to make this 2 free and we may have a good chance
they will agree.
Let me know your thoughts.
Best Regards,
George
