Czech and Slovak Heritage Tours
Focusing on the Czech Republic, Slovakia, - sometimes Hungary,
Southern Poland, and Germany.
In 2008 Celebrating our 17th year !See wonderful "off the beaten path" places - with out the headaches of independent travel.....
At Heritage tours we've proven that small groups (15-20 guests) and excellent value are a great mix – along with our out of the way experiences. Since we create and operate our own trips, these are unique travel experiences. Most of the things we show our small groups will not be found with any other travel trips. We work closely with our many friends and associates, with whom we have long standing relationships. Most of these folk artists and everyday local people only work with us at Heritage Tours. We excel at giving our guests the best European experiences, multi night stays in one place away from the hordes of tourists. Rather then a series of one night stays in places far apart, we offer a in-depth travel experience, basically free of stress. We go over the entire tour route in advance to check on everything for you. We eat at the best local restaurants, visit exquisite local folk crafter's, and see historic sites almost by ourselves. When you return home you will cherish and remember a great amount of wonderful memories. Many other tours rush through countries, and vast area's, most of what you see is from a bus window. When you return home you will remember very little but the bug's on the bus window.
For the very best travel experience - join us on a Heritage Tour !

We expect the tours to sell out, as people want to see the best parts
of Europe, don't miss your opportunity to join us in 2008 !
We now offer individual and small group travel arrangements. This can be to any places
you wish at any time of the year. . This are offered for those of you who can not
fit our normal tours into your schedule. They will NOT include the many unique stops
and places on my normal tours - as many artists, musicians and people do this as a
favor to me - I can not ask too much. They do these things for the love of
their culture and not for a living - they have real jobs just like us.
However they will be a wonderful experience - all done by natives, who know their part of Europe very well. If this will be a better option for you - please contact Mark by email orcall Forest Lake Travel - Deb with our 1-888 phone number.

The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland did join the EU = European Union on May 1st 2004.They do NOT use the EURO= European money system yet. ( it will be a few years yet until they qualify). BUT they do qualify for the new EU taxes which in most cases is 19%. Yes that is correct and not a typo. Starting on Jan. 1, 2005 hotels, restaurants, and many things will have an additional 19% tax added. So again the longer you wait to visit the best parts of Europe, the more it will cost you.
***** Update = the US dollar has dropped in value to a all time low against both the Czech Crown and the Euro = The Czech Crown has even gained in value against the Euro. So everything has gotten much more expensive in the Czech Republic. Not knowing what you are doing, and to make a few mistakes, will now be a very expensive lesson. Save yourself the trouble, expense and stress = take a Heritage Tour and let us take care of you !
Don't delay your dreams............Happy travels !
