1) get on their mail list at GCT.com

2) if you can travel on short notice check out their specials

3) Once on their mailing list, some trips may be discounted as much as 500.00 pp if you can travel in 60 days or less. Recently I have seen discounts larger than 500.00pp.

4) If you book in advance,you may pay upfront with check or electronic funds transfer to save...HOWEVER, travel insurance is a must, in the event you must cancel!!!! Also check out other options for travel insurance, money to be saved there!! search TRAVEL INSURANCE

5) If you have nevered traveled with GCT, or Overseas Adrenture Travel get a refferal from a former traveler. If you know someone who has traveled with them before ask them. This can save you $50-$100pp.

6) If you have fequent flyer miles, consider booking your own flights, and buying the tour only package. Example: GCT air package from my home airport 900.00pp, using FF miles I got a more direct flight for a tax and transaction fee of 93.00pp, certainly worth looking! My savings 1614.00. not bad!!!

If I can answer any questions for you, or be of any help feel free to contact me.
