Please let us know which trips you are potentially interested in and available for.
This
is just an expression of interest,
NOT
a commitment to join the trip. It puts you on the
priority list when booking officially opens, and you also get to have
some input during the planning process concerning your preferences.
Some trips sell out, so you want your name to be in there!

Tours
en l'air has been offering meticulously designed and planned
ballet-themed vacations in partnership with CWT Victor Travel since
2010. We have now completed more than 25 of these vacations, in both
North
America and Europe.
Typically
our groups, which vary in size from 10 to
30 participants, are
constituted of about half
returning
clients (many of whom have gone on
several Tours en l'air trips) and
half new clients.
“Thank
you so much for a wonderful trip to Germany and ALL that that
included, not just ballet. You sure know how to fill one’s eyes,
ears and mind with sights, sounds, history and true beauty. It was
and will remain a most memorable trip. I do sincerely hope there will
be
another
in our future.”
