Orange luggage tags are provided and are to be placed on your “checked luggage” (large bag). You do not need a tag for your carry-on bag, for which you will be responsible for taking on and off the coach. There is limited space in the cabin of the coach, so unless you require your carry-on bag while traveling, we will stow it in the luggage compartment.

Important Information:

Each reservation requires a $250 per person deposit planning fee (exceptions may apply) to be credited toward your final payment. Some or all of your deposit may be non-refundable per our cancellation schedule noted in these Terms & Conditions below. We are happy to accept cash, check (preferred) or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover) for your deposit.

Throughout 2021 we limited capacity on all our tours. This policy was so overwhelmingly popular by Sunrise travelers, we have made it permanent. In 2022 and beyond, we will limit the capacity on our motorcoaches to 80%. Most Sunrise Tours travel on 50-seat coaches with extra legroom, which means guests will enjoy extra legroom AND at least 6-8 empty seats. In the rare cases when we charter a 55-seat coach, there will be at least 10 open seats on the bus.

Our popular on-board refreshment service on travel days will feature a variety of soda, beer, wine spritzers, juices and sparkling water choices served in recyclable aluminum cans. This is a safe and eco-conscious way for us to deliver the ever-popular Sunrise Tours “happy hour” on tour. We do not typically serve bottled water and ask that while on tour you be responsible for your own hydration and consider the Sunrise Tours drink service a welcome refreshment.

If there was a rating below a 1, I would give it. My wife booked a tour through Sunrise to Canada. She was with a group of 13 travelers. They went to airport to begin the first leg. Air Canada did not show up. After some phone calls the group was advised to come the next day. Again, Air Canada did not have the flight meeting in Canada which would allow the group to join the tour already in progress. So, the group went home again with no way of joining the tour. My wife had purchased insurance through AIG. After many phone calls and letters, AIG did reimburse some of the funds. After many phone calls and letters, Air Canada did reimburse some of the funds. Sunrise reimbursed nothing, saying, the group was just out of luck. My wife is out $1700.00. I am assuming the other 13 members of the group are also out $1700.00. Why should Sunrise keep $22,100 for not giving satisfactory service?

Sunrise Tours did not "keep" the money. Monies paid to the hotels, restaurants, guides, local transportation, etc. included in the tour package were prepaid and non-refundable. Travelers were not told they were "out of luck." After two canceled flights to Nova Scotia, travelers decided to forego trying a third time and subsequently made travel insurance claims for the losses incurred in missing the trip. Air Canada and Sunrise Tours refunded monies to travelers, and those that purchased travel insurance were reimbursed per the terms of that insurance. The reviewer is grossly misrepresenting this unfortunate scenario.

They advertised a trip for a certain price with airfare included. After my group of 9 people paid our deposits and signed a contract, Sunrise came back and said oops, we made a mistake. The trip will be another $3500 per person. Now, they continued to advertise the same trip we booked at the same price we agreed to for 1 week after we were contacted. This is fraud, plain and simple. Rather than own up to their "mistake", they cancelled my group and refunded our deposits. Sunrise refused to honor the price they had contacted with us. I will book the trip with another agency and would never recommend Sunrise to anyone.

My elderly parents had booked and paid in full for an upcoming tour. Sunrise tours canceled the tour and didn't even contact them to let them know. When they called to inquire, they were told that the letter they sent was returned to them. They then offered a 50% refund on a tour that was canceled by the tour company. The tour was to be in April, 2020, in the midst of the Corona virus . When asked why it wasn't a full refund they said that they were out "a lot of money, for prepaying much of the tour". When asked for itemization for the money they were out they just said that they didn't want to get into that. They tout customer-service first, but keeping 1/2 of the money paid for a tour they canceled isn't right.

I love Sunrise Tours. I've taken two trips with them so far and plan to take a third this year. I think the best thing about Sunrise is their attention to detail followed by their customer service. Each time I've traveled, the tour guide has called a day or two in advance to see if I had questions. Each trip was trouble-free, I just sat back and enjoyed. The price is all-inclusive, unless otherwise noted, so it's a good value when you price it out. I like that they offer day trips, weekend getaways and major trips...a good mix. The people on my trips were a good mix, too. Keep up the great work!

I've been on several Sunrise Tours. They are a fantastic company who care about their travelers. They manage every detail and just make your trip relaxing and fun. I would highly recommend them.

Ok so we were going for the weekend to St. Louis from Chicago for a Blackhawks game and we were suppose to ride on the poleman train there and back but then right as about the whole 200 people were about to go on this really nice train, last minute they cancel the train and send us on buses.... Also everyone had been waiting for this event since December!!!! Nice job....

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!
