How can I find out if this tour company is legitimate?
This is the tour I'm interested in:
http://www.beatletour.com/
However, I found an article on smartertravel.com that said a tour company should be a member of United States Tour Operators Association, National Tour Association, or American Society of Travel Agents.
I didn't find anything about this company in any of those organizations. On edit: I did find it in Greensboro, NC Chamber of Commerce.
I just found it today, and I haven't committed any money....and now, I would be scared to unless there's some way I can verify that they are legit.
Well, they exist--I found them listed at BBB.org for Greensboro. They aren't BBB accredited. On edit: I did find it in Greensboro, NC Chamber of Commerce. I had to do some looking around before I found out the name was Pilgrimage, LTD.
BBB site says: "Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation."
