The following are common questions and
concerns about group travel...
About a month out from your trip departure, an itinerary will be sent to each guest. It will include the name of the hotel along with the phone number, break stops and destinations are listed along with the estimated times of arrival. We try to schedule stops every 2 - 3 hours. There is no smoking on the bus.

Our modern buses are equipped with a VCR, tape player, reclining seats, tinted windows, foot rests, overhead storage and rest room. We ask that you pack as light as possible and try to limit yourself to one piece of luggage. You are welcome to bring snacks and projects on board. There is also overhead storage if you wish to bring a carry-on. The luggage is stored under the bus and we request that all packages and luggage be zipped shut. No open packages or bags in luggage compartment.

Our trips are fully escorted. The escorts are along to aid in any way to make your trip memorable. You will find our escorts are usually well versed in sewing and quilting and may even be instructors. They add a lot to the flair and style of our trips!

Travel Insurance:

As a service to my customers I have linked to CSA Travel Insurance. This insurance is designed to offer a convenient and cost effective travel insurance that covers many different levels including cancellation, medical interruption, and loss of luggage.

If you choose, you can be covered for all your non refundable expenses including any classes and events that you secured over and above the cost of the tour if you recognize those costs when you price your insurance.

This insurance is available for any travel, be it with or without Sew Great Tours. So compare these rates and feel free to use this insurance for any plane, train, cruise, bus travel in or outside of the USA!

As always, feel free to contact Sew Great Tours if you have any questions.
