TOUR DEPARTURE POINTS
Our tour pickup points are listed below and the specific tour write-ups indicate which locations are utilized in each case. All pickup points are subject to change without notice. We can generally arrange a pickup for groups of 10 or more passengers at no extra charge if they are essentially enroute; occasionally an additional fee may be charged for a special pickup for a group. Passengers are requested to be at the pickup point at least 15 minutes prior to the final scheduled departure time which will be sent to you prior to the date of the tour; all times shown in this book are tentative and subject to change. Pickups at the listed locations are anticipated if you make your reservations at least 30 days prior to departure. As with all tours, should vehicles be left parked at these locations, this is always done at the owner’s risk. Other pickup points may be added to those listed in Tour Descriptions where group has ten or more passengers. Since buses may have different paint schemes other than "Great Day! Tours", please check with each arriving bus to determine if it is your bus. We encourage our passengers to utilize the services of those locations serving as pickup points.
