AIR - Flights and Bus to LAX through ALTOUR

On Tuesday Morning, October 28 we will begin our Pilgrimage by boarding a Classic Charter Bus at the St Charles Borromeo Hall Parking Lot, to take us to LAX.   The Bus holds 55 people.

We wil then board flight KL062 at 2:45PM to Amsterdam and then connect to Rome.  We return on Air France through Paris to LAX, and again Classic Charter will be waiting for us to bring us back to Visalia.

🔸 The COST is $1,400 for the group booking rate for round trip Flights and Classic Charter Bus.   The $1,400 cost is only due by August 8, rather than the time of booking the Pilgrimage Deposit.    There is no prior deposit due for AIR.

🔹 Group Flight and Bus must be booked via Personal Check made out to Altour and received at the Altour Office on or before Friday, August 8.  

★ If, however, a Pilgrim wishes to upgrade a seat or wishes to book their own flight, in that event only, a $250 Air change fee will be collected by Altour in addition to the cost of booking the upgrade or separate flight, and would constitute payment in full for AIR and BUS, requiring no further payment to Altour in August.

Our Travel Agent there will be Selma Evans at (559) 625-1333.  Altour is located at 310 W Center Ave. Visalia.

All Flight bookings must be through Altour to coordinate arrivals and departures with the group travel, especially if you wish to book a different flight.

LAND - ROME THROUGH BRAVO VIAGGI

We are delighted to have been able to secure the services of Bravo Viaggi, in particular Paolo Ferrini - who has been instrumental in helping finalize the itinerary consistent with the large number of recent ordinances issued by the Roman municipal government changing Tour Bus  routes as well as stops for getting on and getting off, all to avoid traffic congestion during the Jubilee year.

This has increased the amount of walking that Pilgrims must do to see the Holy Sites, such that we will average walking 4 to 5 miles per day.   As such, you must be able to keep up with a group pace that is reasonable.   Please ask if you have any doubts.

Our Booking for the LAND portion is separate from the AIR portion.    We are using the services of a QR code to allow a Credit Card registration of the DEPOSIT and the FINAL in dollars for the LAND portion.

🔸The DEPOSIT payable at the time you book this Pilgrimage is $1,750 per person, of which $500 is nonrefundable.

🔸The FINAL BALANCE for the LAND side is due on or before Friday, August 8 via Credit Card using the services of a QR code but final cost will vary depending on the number of bookings, and the personal optional choices:

You can obtain an estimate of your particular final payment by using the calculation matrix in the second page of the registration.
