We work for you! We are here to make you look good! We want you to successfully complete your mission!  

At Making Memories, we want everyone to feel welcome - we absolutely encourage any number of travelers. Our clients make fast friends and we can help get them acquainted with other travelers!

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 10 in a group. However, the larger the group, the better pricing we can provide. We can create a tier pricing structure for your group if necessary. For Example, 20-25, 25-35, 35-45. 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 10 rooms.  

YES! Most group leaders enjoy leading their own group, however we can provide a Making Memories Tours "Tour Manager" as an option should the need arise.

“In December, we took our first trip with MMT to the Smoky mountains. It was so nice to leave the planning, navigating, driving, and parking to the professionals.  Their trip planners have great ideas and we saw some very interesting places on the trip that we would not have visited on our own. The accommodations were all lovely, the meals that were included were all fabulous. We met new friends and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip. We will definitely be going on more tours with MMT.”
