This trip is open to USA and non-USA residents, and spouses are welcome! During the tour if there is an interest in alternate activities, we will offer them. For example, after the tour bus drops the main group off at a watch manufacturer, if there are spouses who desire to do something else, we will make arrangements for the bus to take them to a nearby shopping district or other point of interest.

The 2007 Tour is limited to 18 guests. Past tours have sold out quickly, so be sure to get your reservation in early!
