FAQs
Yes, we can take the information that you provide us and create a trip around that area, venue, or experience. We will contact the points of interest and get the best timing, pricing, and accommodations we can, to meet the needs/requests of our clients. We are also able to give you ideas for places to visit based on where your group is coming from and what their interests might be. For example, if a group of quilters want to go to a quilt show, shop for materials or take classes, we can arrange that for them.
We can work with groups of all sizes. We require a minimum of 24 in a group. However, the larger the group, the better pricing we can provide. We can create a tiered pricing structure for your group if necessary. For Example, 24, 30, etc. We can work with providing tiered pricing, even for fundraising groups. The Group Leader will provide to Making Memories Tours what they are looking for on their return. I.E., $25 per person, $50 per person, etc. Traditionally, minimums are around 22-24 people per trip. To take advantage of group pricing with hotels, we will need a minimum of 12 rooms.
