Sandra:
Thank you for calling Getaway Tours.
Sandra:
How can I help you today?
Man:
I've got a lot of questions, but can you first tell me your office hours?
Sandra:
We're open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Sandra:
We have gotten a lot of calls about that article.
Man:
Is it true that if I book a tour, the prices start at only $1,100 per person?
Sandra:
That's a special offer for this month.
Sandra:
Normally they're from $1,400 going up to $2,000.
Sandra:
And it includes accommodation and meals.
Sandra:
This offer is for any of our 36 different bicycling tours.
Man:
Well, I am definitely interested in the bicycling tours, but I thought there were only 30.
Man:
Are all of them for a week?
Sandra:
If bicycling is not your thing, we also have walking tours to choose from.
Man:
That's a lot of options.
Sandra:
Are you aware that our trips all begin on Tuesday?
Man:
It would give me Monday to pack.
Man:
How do you suggest I choose from so many options?
Sandra:
Yes, it is tough to make a choice.
Man:
I would love to hear about your most popular tours.
Sandra:
I'll start with the bicycling tours, since you said that was your main interest.
Man:
My wife and I are not in great shape for a hard ride.
Man:
Do you have rides that are at the beginner level?
Sandra:
There's our Florida trip.
Sandra:
That's 14 nights.
Sandra:
But I'd recommend our holiday on the east coast of the U.S. in an area known as the Autumn Route, which is just 6 nights.
Sandra:
With short, leisurely routes on trails by the riverside and through the forest, you have plenty of time to explore the landscape during your holiday.
Man:
Seeing the changing colors of the leaves would be amazing.
Sandra:
Yes, that's right.
Sandra:
You also have the option to stop at some outstanding homes and to see their gardens.
Sandra:
Whichever cycling holiday you choose, you usually spend 2 nights at each hotel and always have plenty of time to explore, rest and sightsee as you wish.
Man:
Could you tell me about one of your moderate rides?
Man:
Maybe my wife and I will get into enough shape to be able to do one.
Sandra:
Well, let me see.
Sandra:
Oh, this trip is actually 10 nights long.
Sandra:
It travels through parts of Southern California.
Sandra:
The ride begins on a mountain trail and finally brings you down to the coastal roads.
Man:
I see that here on your website.
Man:
Oh, that looks amazing.
Man:
I like that we would have the opportunity to try some of the local cuisine.
Sandra:
Yes, the cuisine in this area makes lavish use of colorful local produce.
Sandra:
And then, you know, the great weather of this region is a great feature by itself.
Man:
Do we stay in hotels on this trip?
Sandra:
You stay in hotels most of the way until the end, when you stay on a farm overlooking the sea.
Sandra:
That's always really popular.
Man:
Wow, both trips sound fabulous.
Man:
How far in advance do I have to make reservations?
