46 | SUN TOURS | 505-889-8888About Us and Our ToursSUN TOURS was founded in Albuquerque in 1978 with a vision of sightseeing tours with excellent quality and great value—tours on which people are treated with respect and kindness. Our growth into New Mexico’s largest tour operator is the realization of that vision. This success is rooted in taking care of the details, earning our clients’ trust, and our commitment to excellence.We Start in AlbuquerqueAll tours by air depart from the Albuquerque Sunport, and our prices include the airfare on most tours. Our motorcoach tours leave from Albuquerque and the location will vary. Your Tour Director or Escort will be with you all the way, taking care of every detail, solving any problems that may arise, and enhancing the tour through their knowledge, personality, and interaction with each tour participant. No Gratuities!Our no-tipping policy removes your concerns about tipping. Gratuities for the Tour Director, driver(s), local guides, cruise personnel, and all other components of the tour package (except for hotel housekeepers and optional services or attractions) have been included in the tour price. Our Tour Directors do not accept additional tips. Deposits / Cancellation PoliciesEach tour has its own deposit requirements, nal payment date and cancellation fees. They are found in the Tour Details section on each tour’s page at SunToursUS.com. If we do not receive the deposit for a reservation within one week of booking, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation.Looking for a Roommate?Traveling with a roommate offers companionship and is less expensive than traveling as a single. For cruises, the cost savings are even greater, as most cruise lines charge the same price for a stateroom whether occupied by one person or two.For those who want the companionship and/or cost savings of traveling double occupancy, SUN TOURS will assist but does not guarantee nding a roommate. When two people express interest in a roommate when signing up for the same tour, we give them each other’s contact information.You can sign up for a tour before you have a roommate. First, we sign you up as a single.
