In business since 1981, originally as Great Touring Adventures and then, in 1995, as Friendly Planet Travel, Inc., we are experts at creating and marketing travel arrangements for individuals and groups. Our website, www.friendlyplanet.com, features an extensive array of international, often exotic destinations, such as China, India, Thailand, Kenya, South Africa, Dubai, Egypt, Israel, Patagonia, Galapagos, and many others. We are experienced in specialty group travel, especially for educational institutions, religious organizations, family groups and others. Our pricing typically saves hundreds of dollars over the cost of similar travel services from other suppliers.
