Since 1966
Please Go Away™ Vacations
Small Town Caring · Worldwide · Since 1966. Whether you’d prefer to be personally hosted on a Feature tour or to travel independently on an As You Like It journey we’ve arranged just for you, we’ve spent sixty years making sure the answer is yes.
Founded in Great Bend, Kansas — and serving four generations of travelers — we are a small-town agency with a worldwide footprint. Our work is not to sell you a ticket. It is to know you, to host you, and to be there before, during, and after every journey.

Why Please Go Away
We do not sell airline tickets. We do not push commissions. We host travelers we know by name, in places we have walked ourselves. After sixty years, our work is measured by relationships — not transactions.
