12 Reasons to choose a Tour

1.Firstly, you have a tour guide and transport from the start of the tour until the end and travel with like-minded people. Depending on the tour you can have a mixed group of people from generational families to retirees and young couples

2. Private coaches/buses or cars are reserved just for your group. No need to worry about researching cab fares, public transport, and waiting sometimes in long lines at the airport.

3 All overnight stays are booked for you and are carefully selected by an expert, taking into account location, room type, and facilities. There are plenty of tours that will offer lower standard accommodation for a lower cost and other tours that will offer a higher standard of accommodation for a higher cost

4. Group tours often come with some group dinners, lunches, and breakfast inclusions with suppliers adding extras outside the menu and tables reserved in advance.

5. Early morning touring means you get to see and do more than travelling on your own. The Coach is waiting outside or close to the hotel to save time to explore more. Everything is pre-planned, checked, and re-confirmed by the Tour guide. Unforeseen issues may arise and the Tour guide will arrange an alternative without you needing to do anything.

6. Must-see attractions and visiting famous landmarks come as standards on group tours. Tickets are pre-booked and organised in advance and the timing picked perfectly to miss long queues

7. The Tour guide & coach driver can give local tips, directions, and recommendations about what to do in your free time and are available to contact on tour if you have an issue. Local guides are used at the big attractions therefore giving you the local in-depth experience & knowledge

8. Extra stops along the way by your local coach driver who knows exactly which towns to stop in for toilet breaks and refreshments

9. There is usually the right amount of free time and optional extra, giving you the flexibility to have some time to yourself or visit an extra attraction that some group members don't want to do. 

10. Every day the Tour guide will inform you of the daily times and where and when to meet for the following day. All you need to do is check a noticeboard in the hotel lobby or be given a daily paper guide for the following day.

11. You may become unwell or lose something on the trip. Your Tour guide is there to help you.

12. If there are people you don't get along with or want to complain about something or someone, your Tour Guide is there to fix the issue discreetly so you can keep enjoying your holiday.
