Working with a reputable Tour Operator like First Choice Tours!
A professional Tour Operator has the most comprehensive and
up-to-date knowledge of the Travel Industry and what is available.
We will make the best choice for you and your group based on
quality and price that meets your travel needs and budget. We plan
your intricate detailed itinerary and suggest attractions, hotels, and
restaurants that work best! We work only with motorcoach
operators that meet strict industry requirements and that employ
C.O.R.I. certified drivers. We know the questions to ask the
vendors/suppliers and the issues to consider when booking a
package for groups. We are there to handle emergencies and
resolve problems that might arise, 24/7. A Tour Operator is a
mediator in negotiating deposit and payment conditions, and this
allows you the maximum time to sell your trip. We make sure
that all payments are made on time, and this will give you peace of
mind. The above information just points out some very positive
roles in working with a reputable Tour Operator. You can always
check on our reputation by calling the American Bus Association,
the National Tour Association, or the Better Business Bureau! We
can also provide you with references! We take pride in our
customer service and the product that we sell to our clients! We
