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 2011 than ever before. In fact, close to 80% of our clients had traveled with us previously, some up to ten, fifteen, or even twenty times (or more!)
"The
most congenial group I have ever traveled with!"
— Lucretia Paddock, Boulder, Colorado
"I know it’s a long way off, but I am very excited about the trip. And since it’s a COOPERSMITH’S tour, I know it will be fantastic!"
—Betsie Kasner, Decatur, Georgia
