At COOPERSMITH'S
we are firm believers in "small is better." Every year we offer
eight or nine different itineraries, each one limited to between
five and twenty members. By keeping it small we are able to provide
a level of personalized service not normally found on tours. And
our clients can enjoy the hospitality of country inns, villas, and
family-owned restaurants that ordinarily would be off-limits to
groups.
Whether
it's checking into hotels, dining, attending the theater or visiting
homes, gardens and museums, everything is easier with a small group.
Tour members get to know each other quickly, in a relaxed atmosphere
that's conducive to forming long-lasting friendships. Many a client
has told us that going on a COOPERSMITH'S tour is like being part
of a traveling house party—with someone else doing all the work!
We also believe that becoming well-acquainted with a few aspects of one country is more satisfying that rushing around trying to see it all. Thus, each of our tours—whether they be garden tours or fine arts tours—focuses on two or three themes, in one or two geographic regions, and explores them in depth.
When
clients return year after year, we know we are doing something right.
Our rate of repeats, long the envy of our competitors, was higher
in 2007 than ever before. In fact, over 75% of our clients had traveled
with us previously, some up to ten, twelve, or fourteen times.
"The
most congenial group I have ever traveled with!"
— Lucretia Paddock, Boulder, Colorado
"We
particularly enjoyed the relaxed pace, limited number of participants
and excellent job of timing the days' events."
— Larry & Marian Martin, Malibu, California
