The Billings Chamber of Commerce’s International Awareness and Cultural Discovery Series recently wrapped up its 9th year of travel with a trip to Egypt in October 2019. Our group of 51 travelers cruised the Nile, visited both big cities and small villages, and explored the pyramids, ancient temples, and many other archaeological sites. This trip was enhanced by the multi-modes of transportation. Plane, bus, river boat, sail boat, motor boat, horse-drawn carriages and even camels all heightened our experience. The Egyptian people were extremely friendly and welcoming and our tour directors and drivers worked hard to ensure a very safe, educational and enjoyable experience.
Continuing our annual opportunity to adventure abroad, we are pleased to announce our 2020 trip is a Rhine River Cruise, September 19 – 27, 2020. The iconic waterways of Europe are calling on this enchanting river cruise. Enjoy an exceptional voyage along the Rhine River, one of Europe’s most captivating waterways, from Amsterdam at the North Sea to Basel, gateway to the Swiss Alps.
