Brendan has been sending tourists to Ireland for over 40 years, and it fact the company was launched in part
with tours to Ireland.in 1969 with escorted tours to the Emerald Isle. In 2010 Brendan will continue to send
more tourists to Ireland than any other company and will in fact send considerably more than ever with an
expanded product line of escorted and independent vacations. Brendan sends more tourists to Ireland than
any other company and are widely known for their professional guides, efficient service and safe drivers.
Surveys consistently show that the primary reason people return to Ireland is the charm and spirit of the Irish
people. The gorgeous scenery, amazing history and dramatic landscapes are equal in their reason for
drawing people to the Emerald Isle. With over 50 million Americans possessing some level of Irish ancestry, it
is a natural destination for tourists from the United States, not to mention Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

The range of escorted and independent vacations
available from Brendan into all the regions of the
South Pacific, which includes the Tahitian Islands, Fiji,
Australia, New Zealand and surrounding environs, is
amazing diverse.
Indeed Australia and New Zealand alone are able to
satisfy just about every travel need which the ambitious
traveler one might wish to enjoy; from big cities to rain
forest, from stunning beaches and the biggest coral
reef in the world to camping in the rugged Australian
Outback; from alpine mountains with pristine lakes in to
the wide of range natural wonders offered up by the
various islands of New Zealand.
Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world,
boasting the signature Opera House, harbor perfect for
sailing and vibrant life of arts and culture equal to any
European city. When talking about natural wonders,
the Great Barrier Reef has to rank with one of the
most magnificent in the whole world. In fact the Great
Barrier Reef is the largest living organism as it
stretches 1,430 miles in an interconnected string of
limestone secreting polyps.
Tahiti and Fiji offer a very different travel experience.
Small islands, over water bungalows, calm lagoons
teeming with colorful fish, huge Atolls and larger islands
with deep rain forests and high mountains. For the trip
of a lifetime, one that will leave you talking for years
about the friendly Tahitian and Fijian people, the
scenery which includes clear blue waters and tropical
jungles, the wide array of colorful plants, fish, birds and
other interesting creatures, or just the joy of laying on a
quiet beach reading a book.
Tahiti is much closer than travelers from the U.S. might
think, only an eight-hour flight from Los Angeles, and
Fiji is not much further Go to the South Pacific and
create the trip of a lifetime.

Brendan is currently offering a wide selection of Escorted and
Independent vacation packages for all over Europe. The 2010
brochures, the three pictured below, also include programs for
Egypt and Israel.
When one talks about the current state of traveling through
Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe come up very strongly
as their big cities, such as Prague and Budapest, were largely
spared from the devastation by World War II, especially from the
air. Plus Eastern Europe was behind the Iron Curtain for so long
that many Westerners were unable to visit these countries.

The Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Mohr, the Burren
and the Giant's Causeway, the latter in Northern
Ireland, all provide breathtaking vistas in a country
filled with ancient castles On the cultural side is St.
Patrick's Cathedral, Bru-na-Boinne, Kylemore
Abbey, the Waterford Crystal Factory and a visit to
Rathbaun Farm to have lunch with the family
proprietors and watch a sheep being sheared along
with other farm activities.
Then one can also have a tremendous time in
Scotland, a country of proud people with an amazing
history. Scotsmen have altered world history in to a
degree far beyond what their numbers would dictate.
Scotland is fantastic destination for a vacation for
people of all ages.

Other fascinating European countries are Great Britain, Germany, Sweden,
Norway, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Poland. One of decidedly
great aspects of traveling through Europe is the ability to move from country to
country in rapid fashion, whether by rail or train one can hop through a cultural
kaleidoscope of food, museums, scenery and culture.
No matter what the desire in terms of European travel, Brendan can provide
the answers for those needs. They have been doing it for almost over four
decades and they know how maximize their client’s precious vacation time so
they don’t come home with horror stories rather than pleasant memories.
Escorted and Independent Foreign Travel throughout Europe, including
Russia, is extremely affordable and Brendan can help the client build their
dream vacation by mixing and matching various modules. The great cities of
St. Petersburg and Moscow in Russia have amazing historical sites, fantastic
scenery, architectural masterpieces, fine museums ad the fascinating Russian
people to make for a terrific vacation. Russia continues to fascinate outsiders
and has been a major force in the arts and politics for centuries.
Maybe your tastes revolve more towards Western Europe, where getting
between countries like France, Germany, Austria, Spain is extremely easy. The
countryside of France and the Mediterranean coasts of the Riviera are just as
special as the museums and boulevards of Paris.

In 2010 Brendan, a premier tour provider based in Los Angeles and in business for
over 40 years, has launched a number of new Escorted and Independent vacation
packages for destinations all over the world. Always a leader designing new and
innovative ways to see the great cities of beautiful natural places of the world, this
company has led the way since 1969 in creating the organizations which protect
consumers from fraud and brought stability to the travel marketplace.
Gordon Dirker, Head of Marketing and Sales for Brendan, and other Brendan
officials will be appearing on radio shows around the country to discuss the latest in
the travel business, hot destinations and the best programs for ambitious travelers.
Promotion in Motion is currently working for Brendan on a multi-faceted PR
campaign in conjunction with their launching a new website and continuing to offer
quality travel opportunities to satisfy the needs of discerning and informed consumers.

In the 2010 Brendan European brochures just getting into
the marketplace, the countries of Egypt and Israel are also
featured. Take a cruise up the Nile River and see the
ancient wonders of the past Egyptian Dynasties or travel
through the Biblical lands of Israel.
Follow the travels of Christ and see the birthplace of
Judaism and Christianity in a country that is one of the
economic powerhouses of the word. Perhaps England,
Scotland or Wales are more you style, with beautiful
London able to provide an amazing array of historic sights
such as Buckingham Palace or the Imperial War Museum.

Germany and Austria are also great countries to visit; centuries of struggle over control of Europe, with
powers East and West going back and forth over Central Europe in pursuit of one prize or another. Berlin
is the center of power in Europe and is an amazing metropolis, while Vienna holds the imagination of past
Royal Dynasties of Europe.
Italy continues to delight travelers with its food, scenery, Mediterranean climate and history of Roman
greatness and power ever present throughout the country. Or visit the Holy See of the Vatican, a
sovereign state within the city of Rome that is an absolute marvel. No other city comes close. It may no
longer be caput mundi (capital of the world), but Rome is an epic, bubbling-over metropolis harbouring lost
empires. One visit and you’ll be hooked. Rome has a glorious monumentality that it wears without reverence.
Its architectural heirlooms are buzzed around by car and Vespa as if they were no more than traffic islands.
Well informed, eloquent and oh-so-romantic, the ‘City of Light’ is a philosopher, a poet, a crooner. As it
always has been, Paris is a million different things to a million different people. Paris has all but exhausted
the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower – at sunrise,
at sunset, at night – have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and not-so-
subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the
grandness and even the magic. Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world.
As a result, first-time visitors often arrive in the French capital with all sorts of expectations: of grand vistas,
of intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues,
of rude people who won’t speak English.

Brendan and Albert Tours offer the Lagoon Motu Picnic on
the island of Moorea in the Tahitian Islands. This all day
excursion involves swimming while black tipped reef sharks are
feeding, hand feeding stingrays in shallow waters and enjoying
lunch and snorkeling at a Motu, which means small island.
This is a fun and exciting tour as one gets to travel up the
coast while engaging in a couple of adrenalin pumping
activities. The non-aggressive sharks circle the swimmers as
they feed and the stingrays gather for what amounts to their
lunch time feeding off the boats. Then on to great snorkeling
and a relaxing lunch for a couple of hours. Fun, Fun, Fun!
This worth doing twice.

Public perceptions aside, Northern Ireland has a fantastic array of series attractions and
equally friendly population as found in the South, as they say in Ireland even though 90% of
the country is technically the South. Belfast and the Giant's Causeway immediately come
to mind, but many more can be found by the ambitious traveler. Northern Ireland has some
of the finest castles on the island. The earliest are from Norman times, but fortified homes
continued to be built well into the 17th century - much of Derry City dates from this era,
including its encircling walls. Centuries of war, siege and expansion, have left a
well-preserved legacy which is still there to be explored.
Back in the mists of time, some of our remotest areas were bustling! The first known dwelling
in Ireland was found at Mountsandel near Coleraine (7,000 BC). Fermanagh and Tyrone are
especially rich in Stone Age archaeology. There are even more antiquities from the early
Christian era; and superb examples of monastic sites, gravestones, abbeys, round towers
and Celtic crosses crop up in every County.

No less compelling is Scotland, another place from where millions of
Americans and citizens from other countries find their ancestral heritage.
Whether it's enjoying a gentle country stroll or a breezy coastal walk,
trekking long distance routes or scrambling amidst the majestic
mountains, Scotland's breathtaking landscape and overwhelming
spirit-of-place will refresh and enliven your senses. Use the in-depth
information on our dedicated walking website to help plan your next
walking break to Scotland. The Cairngorms National Park contains
some of the best wildlife habitats in the UK and its ancient pine forests,
arctic mountain tops, lochs, rivers and moorlands are home to a quarter
of the nation's threatened species. There is so much to enjoy, from
visiting castles and distilleries to gentle scenic strolls and even extreme
sports.
The battle lines have been redrawn at the new Culloden battlefield
experience. The National Trust for Scotland unveiled the highly
impressive new Culloden visitor centre in April. Learn all about the
infamous battle in an interactive exhibition and feel a real sense of history
on a fascinating, and very moving, battlefield tour. An inspiring,
passionate, pioneer of his generation, Robert (or as he is more commonly
know, 'Rabbie') Burns, is regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
Explore the great man's life and legacy at locations around his native
Ayrshire. Brendan has terrific escorted and independent vacation
packages to Scotland and the United Kingdom.

If you look hard enough, you can probably find
all of those. But another approach is to set
aside the preconceptions of Paris and to
explore the city’s avenues and back streets as
if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of
Notre Dame wasn’t about to pop into view at
any moment.
You’ll soon discover (as so many others
before you have) that Paris is enchanting
almost everywhere, at any time, even ‘in the
summer, when it sizzles’ and ‘in the winter,
when it drizzles’, as Cole Porter put it. And
you’ll be back and probably with Brendan.
