So, you’ve chosen a destination and have a time frame in mind, but you’re unsure of how you want to travel and see the sights. At Travelous, we know it’s a big decision choosing whether to travel with an escorted group or privately. It can make or break your travel experience - so we’re here to help! Here are the pros and cons of touring private versus group; and remember, your Travelous Life awaits!
Group Tours:
You might be more interested in traveling with an escorted tour group if you…
- Are traveling alone and want ‘instant travel companions.
- Want to travel with new people who may happen to have similar interests as yours and are in the same age range as you.
- Appreciate set itineraries and timelines.
- Are interested in seeing the main highlights of a select destination. Guided tours are designed to meet the needs of the masses.
- Enjoy having your meals planned for you (pre fix style).
Private Tours:
You’re better suited for traveling privately if you…
Want to travel with individuals who you know and are comfortable with.- Need flexibility – like having the ability to choose travel dates according to your schedule.
- Are interested in working with a knowledgeable tour architect to create a unique, custom itinerary based on your style and budget.
- Want to venture off the beaten path and sight see your way – no worrying about others.
- Enjoy eating at local restaurants and experiencing authentic cultural cuisines.
- Are interested in getting a more in depth and personal look into the locale.
- Don’t like time constraints; private tours give you the autonomy to decide when you start each day and how long you spend at any given location; dictating your own travel pace.
- Want to stay in the accommodations of your choice.
- Would like to travel in your own private vehicle as opposed to a coach bus.
- Prefer to travel with your own certified personal tour guide who knows the ins-and-outs of your chosen destination and can speak the native tongue.
