There are multiple ways to travel and escorted tours are one of the options that I can offer travelers. I have personally been on a few different escorted trips and can tell you from first hand knowledge- they are amazing, in my opinion. Here are a few benefits to Escorted tours. As always, if you are looking to plan your vacation, give me a shout.
1. Escorted Trips are Cost-Effective
Tour operators are able to negotiate rates the average traveler can't touch on lodging, transportation, meals, and more. And their all-in pricing eliminates surprises. Instead of piling up credit card charges that sap some of a vacation's joy, tour participants have already prepaid for a host of memorable experiences.
2. Tour Hosts are Like a Best Friend on Speed Dial
Group leaders know their destinations inside and out, and they're experienced at handling anything that might come up. They're always there to assist travelers, providing peace of mind that allows your clients to let go and relax.
3. It's All About Access
Wouldn't it be amazing to visit popular attractions before they open to the public? Or to hang out with a local family of cheesemakers? Or to dine in a palace as guests of the owner? Or to see cheetahs up close? Check, check, check, check. Tour operators can provide unparalleled access to experiences most tourists miss.
4. People Need People
Tour leaders create the sense of community so many people crave these days. Themed itineraries, especially active ones, bring together travelers with common interests, who bond over shared adventures. The friendships forged often endure far longer than the trip.
5. There's Plenty of Freedom and Flexibility
The tour industry has evolved, and there truly are options for all interests and budgets. Many itineraries can be customized, and there's typically plenty of free time built in for those who want to see a destination in their own way.
