Price: As of June 2007, we do not know
the exact cost but for the last trip we calculated a cost of about
$1, 580 per person based on double occupancy. This quote was based
on a group of 20 plus the two professors.
We hope to keep the cost of this trip to about the same. We will
post the new cost as soon as we have it so please return to this
site every now and then or contact us.
This price included:
* R/T airfare Cincinnati to London's Gatwick
airport..
* Airport/hotel/airport transfers in London
* 5 nights at a good tourist-class standard hotel in London. The
hotel
in London is centrally and conveniently located near the British
Museum.
* 1 night each at Bath
and Oxford
* Breakfast daily
* Coach / Driver / as described in the itinerary.
* All taxes.
The quote did not include any meals other than breakfast. Please note: London is one
of the top ten most expensive cities in the world and the dollar has
not been faring very well vs. the British pound. At free of charge,
however, we will be able to enjoy the British Museum and the Tate National Gallery;
both sites exhibit some
of the most stunning expressions of human creativity. Entrance fees to
other sites of interest and public transportation can amount to an
additional $100 or so. Student discounts do apply and you will need
to bring along and show your SSU student ID.
Please note: All participants must
purchase travel insurance, which includes medical insurance plus a
lot more. Visit
this site for complete information. The premium for the duration
of our trip costs $50.
