Celebrating
As we enter our 40th year of doing business, I wish to thank all of our valued customers who have booked with Celtic Tours World Vacations over the past years.
Most customers repeat with Celtic to the variety of destinations that we service, including Ireland, Britain, Italy, Germany, Greece, France, Spain, Holland, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and more.
We are delighted to bring you our Discover Europe 2012 brochure, featuring our fantastic Italy tours and independent vacations, along with a new line up of fabulous European River Cruises...plus group tours with exciting destinations & touring from which to choose.
Currency exchange rates for tour packages continue to improve and will be a big factor for those visiting Europe in 2012. In additionally you can take advantage of early bird promotional discounts up to $50 per person on any published tours to Italy where noted on the tour pages.
Save more on family vacations and travel as a group by private motorcoach, or join one of our popular tours from our brochure.
Your first stop should be your Professional Travel Agent! (Celtic Tours would be happy to give you a list of qualified travel agents in your area.)
Your dream of international travel will be brought to reality by selecting a travel professional who will be able to offer first hand knowledge regarding the destination you will be visiting. They know the travel landscape and will be able to support you should you have concerns or difficulties. They are a phone call away, in comparison to online booking services, which will not answer your questions or assist you once the sale is made. In addition many on line companies offering “cheap deals” are based overseas and therefore do not operate under US law. Should they cease operating, you will not have any legal recourse. Always make sure you are dealing with a North American based tour operator before making any payments.
The nation’s most reliable tour operators belong to the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA). All members are required to post a minimum $1 million dollar bond, which is supervised outside of the tour operator’s control.
In addition to the USTOA affiliation, make certain that your tour operator is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA).
And please take advantage of family discounts, specials and more offered here and on our website, with a visit to our website at www.celtictours.com or visit us on Facebook for up-to-date sales and promotions! All available through your local travel agent.
We look forward to offering you a warm welcome on your Celtic Tours World Vacation. Remember to have your travel agent request availability of dates from Celtic Tours.
Bon Voyage and please contact me with your comments.
Sincerely,
Noel F. Murphy President
To Our Valued Friends and Customers...

Tuscany enchants us today, because it holds a special link between traditions of the past and present. Villa Casagrande, a wine-producing villa constructed in 1392, will serve as our host for six nights. Your Villa is located in Figline Valdarno, a medieval village of the 12th century is located in the middle of the triangle made up of Siena, Arezzo and Florence. Enjoy the local delicacies and the Tuscan lifestyle. We will find ourselves strolling down quiet lanes bound by stone walls, cypress trees and cream-colored villas. A true Tuscan Experience!
