One of my favorite things about being involved in the online travel world are the the people we meet on a daily basis. Most recently, The Vacation Gals were featured on the Tours4Fun (an online travel agency) blog as their Crush4Fun – Tour4Fun’s definition of an “Online Crush.” First, we couldn’t be more flattered and secondly, how cute is that?! We’d like to thank Tours4Fun for the kind post and also tell our readers a little about this online travel company. We discovered they are offering 
something budget travelers are going to love!
As an online travel agency Tours4Fun not only acknowledges the budget traveler by offering quality affordable tours, traveler-friendly member programs and custom tours, but also Tours4Fun is social media savvy. They run the blog and also participate on Twitter and Facebook.
This summer The Vacation Gals are heading to New York City, so this next bit really piqued our interest. Tours4Fun recently launched One Day New York getaways that cost between $10 and $75. Now that is affordable! Tours4Fun says, “Our $10 New York Tour has received an overwhelming response, mainly because they provide an opportunity to 
explore the piquant side of the city’s culture. Our travel friendly member programs like Affiliate Program, and our brand-new Group Travel Discount provide an opportunity to our travelers to enjoy discounts on our tours and earn money by traveling with us. These programs offer purely guilt-free traveling pleasures for all those travel enthusiasts who have a desire to explore the world for less!”
If you don’t wish to travel alone, check out Tours4Fun travel companion service which helps travelers find others traveling to the same destination, around the same date, in order to save on travel expenses and accommodations. All you have to do is sign up as our member and post a request on Tours4Fun’s “Find a Travel Companion” forum and don’t forget to check the other travelers seeking a trip buddy. Sounds like Tours4Fun has a great thing going. Check it out.
Okay, seeing as my husband and I are in desperate need of a short getaway soon, I will check it out right now!
Whatever you do, do not book wtih Tours4fun.com.
I was on a tour from Oct 23 – Oct 28th 2010 and was one of 5 Americans on a bus of 60. Our tour guide spoke broken English, our bus driver spoke none. Our driver ran red lights, didn’t pick us up when or where he said he would, didn’t help passengers on or off the bus and never helped with luggage. Our tour guide had incorrect history dates and the sightseeing was lack luster.
When the description says you will see Ground Zero in NYC or the Lincoln Memorial in D.C that means that the bus will drive by it. We didn’t stop at either location although we were sure to stop in a bad part of Philly for an all you can eat buffet at 9:30 PM. While at the restaurant I found out that the tour has been stopping there every Thursday and Sunday for the last 12 years. Funny how that wasn’t on the itinerary.
The bathrooms on the bus were locked and not available for use and the hotel rooms were nowhere near the site seeing. Your hotel the first night will be in Newark, NJ, the walls will be thin, the hotel rooms dirty. You will take the bus into China Town in NYC on day 1 at 7:30 AM and nothing will be open except for an Asian bakery.
Tours4fun.com will not even be the company to take you on your tour, they out source to Paradise Vacations, an Asian run company that has a New York office, only none of the employees speak English. This explains why Tours4fun.com was unable to provide me with a detailed itinerary before the trip.
The price…it’s too good to be true. Don’t do it. You will need a vacation from your vacation.
I will like to know if you offer trips stratging from Toranto Canada covering the east part of Canada.
