Budget Travel: AffordableTours.com Cheap Vacations

Other posts by MountainMama

Full disclaimer: I am employed by AffordableTours.com as a marketing copywriter. But I thought these vacation deals were too amazing not to share with Traveling Mamas’ readers, so here goes!

New LeisureScapes by AffordableTours.com vacation packages are targeted to folks (namely retirees) who have plenty of free time to travel. So, they’re not for everyone — or for families traveling with young children (kids over age 8 are welcome on these trips, and they receive a 10% land-only discount).

But if you have 13 to 22 days to spend in a warm-weather locale, and you don’t want to spend a ton of money, consider these escorted trips that include accommodations, transportation, daily breakfast, some additional meals, sightseeing, services of a tour director and more — for as low as $79/day!

The relaxed itineraries feature resort stays in southern coastal locations in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Croatia as well as tropical Costa Rica. A tour director is on hand for participants throughout their trip, and city sightseeing tours or other excursions are included in each overnight locale. There’s a ton of unscheduled time for travelers to soak up the local culture on their own, participate in optional excursions (for an additional fee) or relax at resort accommodations.

Here are the seven LeisureScapes vacations (prices are land-only; air-inclusive is also available):

  • Italy: Rome & Sorrento, 15 days, $1,630 ($109/day)
  • Italy: Rome & Sorrento, 22 days, $2,300 ($105/day)
  • Italy: Sicily, 15 days, $1,675 ($112/day)
  • Portugal: Estoril Coast & Algarve, 15 days, $1,390 ($93/day)
  • Spain: Costa del Sol, 18 days, $1,600 ($89/day)
  • Croatia, pictured above, 15 days, $1,180 ($79/day)
  • Costa Rica, 13 days, starting at $1,339 ($103/day)

All of the Europe trips depart November 2008 to March 2009; Costa Rica trip is available year round.

    These are really amazing deals – especially considering how expensive it is to travel to Europe (for Americans) these days. Thanks, MountainMama!
