New York Hotels: A View from the Ground

Posted by admin on November 5th, 2011

Whether you’re thinking Central Park or Fifth Avenue, New York hotels or Broadway, if you’re thinking New York, you’re thinking style.

Many of the world’s greatest thinkers have called this city home. And when you look at the cultural and creative offerings that spring from The Big Apple, you’d be forgiven for thinking that there was something in the water.

Regardless of the style of accommodation New York has available at the time, one is always guaranteed a rich and layered experience. At the center of most New York activities are arts and entertainment. The whole city seems to have been built to accommodate, encourage and nurture this culture, along with the cutthroat dealings of Wall Street of course.

Whether it’s a high-rise condo, basement apartment, or an industrial loft, New Yorkers have learnt how to make space work. This is evident in the many Boutique Hotels dotted across the city. From Central Park to Manhattan, one is never short of clever uses of space that now serve to sleep the modern jetsetter. New York hotels have really proven that big isn’t always better. Sometimes it’s just big.

Not to say of course that New York doesn’t have some really big hotels. It does. But in a city with The Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, and 30 Rockerfeller Plaza, it’s refreshing to note not all New York hotels have had the urge to touch the sky. The majority have in fact kept themselves rather grounded. Thanks, New York.

How to Select a Tour and Get the Best Value for the Dollar

Posted by admin on October 24th, 2011

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE VALUE IN A TOUR?

The ultimate buying experience is getting the BEST QUALITY for the LOWEST price. If your focus is only on lowest price, you are not an intelligent traveler as the dollar is more important to you than the experience. If this is for you, I suggest you read no further. If this is not you & you wish to take a tour, the first question is whether it is to be escorted or independent. The descriptions of independent tours are straightforward consisting of airfare, hotel & transportation combined. But in an escorted tour you have higher prices due to the hiring of a guide full time & the cost of a full time motorcoach & driver. In short, you have a more intense, well organized and thoroughly thought out itinerary giving you the maximum experience. However not all tours do this. If you look closely at most tours, they are routine, boring, poorly thought out & inflexible. When making such a decision, you should compare at least 3-4 tours to insure that you are getting a broad perspective of choices.

The following are steps to take.

1. Calculate the cost of the trip per day by taking the total price and dividing it by the number of days. Doing this will allow you to compare the overall costs of the trips in general. However since price should not be the only consideration, continue with the following items. Since most tour rates are PER PERSON, to get the TOTAL cost of the trip for you, multiply the figure from #1 times the number of people traveling with you to get YOUR TOTAL rate. Please realize that if each person pays $150 per night, they are staying in a room that costs $300 per night, a rate usually well beyond the reach of most people.

2. Examine the number of hotels used. A well-written itinerary will use very few hotels and each will be used as a hub location. The higher the number of hotels, the poorer the quality of the tour. You will spend half your trip packing and unpacking!

3. Look for the hotel rating (one crown (basic) to 5 crown (deluxe)). Insure you will have private bath if this is a requirement. Does the quality of the hotels justify the tour price?

4. If the tour price is at least $100/person/day, you should have a FULL TIME BLUE BADGE GUIDE. If the tour operator is using step on guides only in the cities, if a member of your group or the driver takes over between locations, and if your tour leader does not have the history & culture qualifications in formal education, you are NOT getting your moneyâs worth!

5. How many meals are included? If the tour price is comparatively low and just breakfasts are included, it’s probably a fair deal. Just be sure that if dinners are included that you are not being charged $50 per person. No matter where you travel in this world, you can eat at any cost you choose. You do not have to eat expensive meals in hotels when there are perfectly good moderate priced pubs and restaurants right down the street. Some hotels however give the tour operator a good financial incentive to include meals & that’s to your benefit.

6. Where are you staying when meals are NOT included? If for example you are staying in the country, you might find yourself eating a la carte in the hotel because itâs literally your only choice. Proper hotels should be located in the middle of many restaurant choices if dinner is not included.

7. Is your sightseeing ALL included? Obviously if it is not, you will have extra costs. Usually it is included on escorted tours but not on independent tours. Know the costs when it’s not included.

8. Identify the total number of “days at leisure”. On an escorted tour days at leisure are a total waste of your money and clear profit for the tour operator. How much money is it costing him to give you such free time? All the money he’d pay the coach company, driver and guide, he can simply keep while you shop. I love to shop, and I believe you should have the opportunity, but not at the expense of the tour. If your primary reason for travel is to shop, book an independent tour and save money!

9. How many visits does each tour make in a day? I do not recommend sightseeing at break neck speed for anyone, but a tour with 1-2 visits/day is shortchanging you when 3-4 are possible at a COMFORTABLE rate. Note that changing hotels every night makes 1-2 visits per day your ONLY option.

10. Is your day of arrival a sightseeing day? Sleeping on arrival or having the day to do as you wish is again clear profit for the tour operator and a loss for you!

11. Are your sightseeing venues a mixture of history, culture, nature, sports etc etc? Emphasis on just one of these gives you a specialty tour. If you sign up for a walking tour, don’t assume a lot of the other choices for example.

12. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! It goes without saying that if you have no idea of the various facets of your trip, that you can be sold a bill of goods. Know something about the costs, about the trip and the country itself. Only then will you be spending your money wisely!

13. Interview your tour operator carefully. They should be able to answer all your questions on the spot if they are truly knowledgeable.

14. Review the items not included in your tour price. If they add significant amounts to the tour price, the tour is being misrepresented.

In summary if you are being asked to pay more than $100/person/day, you have the right to expect at least 3 star HOTEL rooms with private bath and breakfast, a FULL lineup of sightseeing with separate BLUE BADGE GUIDE, coach and driver EVERY DAY of your tour. ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT IS A TOUR OF VERY POOR QUALITY OR A TOUR THAT IS VERY OVERPRICED! Be an intelligent consumer!

Plan A Safe And Memorable Airplane Tour With These Tips

Posted by admin on October 5th, 2011

If you are considering choosing a flight tour, airplane tours are not only a great choice, but much less expensive than you might believe.

You will likely be amazed at all the choices that you will have if you decide to do a little sightseeing from high up above! Let’s discover sightseeing plane tours.

Whether you decide to take an airplane tour in Canada, Arizona, New York, Florida, Sedona or the Grand Canyon, you will likely enjoy this 1-Day activity while you experience the beautiful scenery that exists on many of the scenic flights.

There are many airplane scenic tours that are available in the USA, Canada as well as other parts of the world.

For example, in Arizona, there are tours that will take you inside the heart of the Grand Canyon, if you really desire a close up look without having to hike down into the Grand Canyon.

Many plane tours exist that include spectacular views of not only the Grand Canyon, that also include a four-wheel drive in the picture. These tours are considered combination tours that allow the guest to experience both a view from up above as well as down below in a four-wheel drive vehicle, too! Fun!

Airplane tours can be a life long memorable experience if you plan ahead and follow some very basic but necessary tips prior to making any reservations, regardless of where you fly. It is important to choose a plane tour company that is both well documented and well known for its superior service and track record.

Here are some helpful tips when planning your next air-tour, no matter where you plan to experience your next air tour. This important information can be used for any of your scenic flights.

You will likely feel better and safer if you fly with a company who has been in operation for a lengthy period of time and with one who has an excellent safety record.

When inquiring about an air tour, ask specifically what is included in the price they are quoting you, such as:

How Long Is The Tour?

What Special Attractions Will Be Seen?

Are The Planes Air-Conditioned? (All of the Arizona companies I researched noted that all of the planes had air-conditioning, but it would be wise to confirm this, especially during the summer months.)

Are The Tours Narrated?

Many scenic flights include narration along with individual stereo headsets for optimal audio of the information provided by the tour guide.

What Is Their Cancellation Policy? Some companies do not offer refunds no matter what exigent circumstances you may encounter, while others have a 48-hour cancellation policy.

Are There Any Special Prices On Any Of The Tours? You can sometimes find summer or winter specials and save a significant amount of money, so ask about any current or upcoming specials. Here is another great tip that you can use. Most of the nearby hotels will have numerous attraction coupons, including air-tours, inside the lobby area.

What Kind Of Safety Record Exists?

The Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, now requires every passenger to provide proof of identification with a photo-id.

You will be required to provide either a state issued drivers license or a valid passport. You really do have many options to enjoy if planning on taking advantage of the variety of tours that are available.

Here are a few examples flightseeing options in Arizona

Take a tour from the small town of Page, Arizona, to the world famous Grand Canyon Airport on the South Rim.

These tours provide both spectacular views of the Grand Canyon as well as the history behind the canyon Some of these tours also include the option for you to stop in and experience the IMAX theatre while you are there.

Tours come in a wide variety of packages. You can go on a “short and sweet” air tour for a mere 20 minutes for under 100 dollars, a four-to-five hour airplane tour, or even an overnight tour, giving you the opportunity to witness a beautiful Grand Canyon sunset at the Grand Canyon Hotel which includes sightseeing the very next day.

I also discovered a four-to-five hour airplane tour in Arizona inclusive of not only a plane tour, but also a helicopter tour along with a boat cruise!

This particular air-tour was one of the more expensive tours in Arizona, which cost just shy of $400 per person, but it also included a helicopter ride and a boat tour, too. This specific tour includes a memorable air tour through the world famous Sedona area before heading north to the Grand Canyon, topped off with a delicious Barbecue meal!
