THOMAS COOK TOURS INTRODUCES NEW ITINERARIES: Mexico and Guatemala among new destinations featured
Thomas Cook Tours has introduced new itineraries to Latin America and Egypt in its latest brochure, out on April 19.
As part of its ongoing strategy to offer the broadest possible range of tours worldwide, Thomas Cook Tours has expanded its Latin American portfolio with a 15-day fully escorted tour called 'Miracles of Mexico and Guatemala.'
Priced from £2345 per person, the tour includes visits to Mexico City, Oaxaca, Puebla and Antigua, and visits the Mayan ruins at Palenque, Uxmal, Chichén-Itzá and Tikal. Guests take boat trips on Lake Atitlán and Lake Catemaco, and a canal ride in Mexico City. Spending a night at Antigua's historic Casa Santo Domingo Hotel, the tour takes in wildlife-filled rainforests, colonial cities and magnificent ruins. The tour is ideal for anyone with an interest in ancient cultures, breathtaking scenery and lesser-known Latin America.
Also new to Thomas Cook Tours for the remainder of 2007, 2008 and 2009 are three tours to Egypt, taking the total available in this destination to four. The eight-day 'Nile Discover' tour, from £995 per person, is a comprehensive introduction to the sights of Upper Egypt by cruise. Travelling from Luxor to Esna, Aswan, the tour visits the Valley of the Kings with an optional hot air balloon tour, and offers extensive sightseeing in Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan.
