Air pricing is available from over 200 domestic departure airports in the United States. The escorted tours include all land transportation in Europe, hotel accommodations, tour manager in Europe, and most meals.

According to Monique Kasmauskis, Image Tours Inc General Manager, “Clients interested in the Oberammergau Passion Play have already purchased most of our space for Spring and Fall departures, The $500 per person discount gives travelers a limited-time opportunity to book the high season departures of June, July and August for about the same land and air inclusive price as the Spring and Fall departures. Due to the demand, we expect many of the summer departures will sell out before October 30 and therefore we recommend making reservations for these Passion Play tours as soon as possible.”
