![]() The word "tour" can conjure up a variety of images among travelers, mainly that of a busload of people hustling from hotel to sightseeing back to a hotel all on a strict schedule. These days, tours are designed in many different formats, catering to every type of traveler and are far removed from this image. Yes, some tours are still large, however most are far more intimate with a goal to ensure the best possible experience.
I'm a big advocate of independent travel as this is what I know. I love to research and plan my trips, but then again, this is the business I am in. However, there are definitely times and situations where I would seek out guided or group travel. My top reasons:
There are so many more options these days to choose from. Tours are no longer large groups of people. Many are small intimate groups ranging from 1-20 travelers. Some are custom, designed for your own specific needs. Others give you access to experiences you would never do on your own. Don't shy away from tours - they often provide a better overall travel experience than attempting it on your own. Comments are closed.
