DATES AND RATES

Depart – Tuesday – June 25, 2013
Return – Friday – July 5, 2013

COST -  The cost of the group land portion of the trip is $1,995 per person double occupancy.  There is a single supplement of $475.  Sometimes a pair of single people will room together to avoid the supplement, but that is an individual matter. The cost of the trip is based on $1.30 USD to equal one Euro. If the dollar is weaker than that in May, 2013 we may have to charge an additional 5%.

This price is based on a minimum of 15 individuals in the group in order to obtain group rates. The group size will be limited 25 people. There is an additional charge for individual “ROOTS” shtetl tour. The cost of a car, driver, and guide/interpreter could be $350-$400 per day depending on distance traveled. The one night hotel cost (during your roots tour) could be $70 to $95 for each of your driver and guide. THAT IS PER CAR, NOT PER PERSON.

AIR FARE – Approximately $1,750-$2,250 round trip per person from New York or Atlanta. Departure taxes and Visa fees are extra. The travel agent I use in Atlanta can arrange flights from your city to Vilnius, Lithuania for you or you can use your local travel agent or your flyer points if you prefer.

A letter to that effect will be sent to you prior to the end of 2013 but it would be best for you to check with your tax preparer.
