Why COOPERSMITH'S?
Our tours operate with as few as
five members, and never more than twenty.
Unlike other tour companies,
we routinely use motorcoaches that are large enough
to guarantee each passenger a window seat throughout
the tour.
Nearly all our tours focus
on two or three areas of one country. We explore them
in depth, while traveling at a leisurely pace. Our
average stay in each city, town, or village is three
nights.
