Escorted tours, where you travel with a group of people and a tour guide, are a great option for travelers looking for an organized, social travel option with lots included.
Planning a vacation can be time consuming, and it can be hard to know where to eat, what to do, how to get from point A to point B, and which tours to take in each destination. An escorted tour takes care of all of the planning for you, so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing you're seeing and doing the best of everything. All you have to do is wake up in the morning and consult your itinerary for a day full of fun and interesting activities, transportation included. Tour companies also have the advantage of established relationships with local vendors, so often they'll get a much better price on hotels, museum entries, guided tours, and other travel expenses than you would on your own. Plus, many meals are often included in your tour package, so not only are you saving time and stress in organizing travel, but also money.
One of the best parts of an escorted tour is the social aspect. Since everyone is traveling together and experiencing the same things, conversation will happen naturally, and friendships are sure to grow. You'll be with like-minded people who love traveling, and often relationships formed on tours turn into lifelong friendships.
Another great benefit of an escorted tour is your tour manager, a travel expert who will be with you the entire trip to answer any questions, and let you in on fascinating details of each destination. Your tour manager's job is to know everything there is to know about the tour, so you can feel safe and comfortable at all times. Any question you have, whether about the history, environment, food, culture, or arrival times, can be answered within minutes, giving you both peace of mind and a deeper understanding of the places you visit.
Escorted tours are diverse, ranging from specific themes to covering vast regions. Whether you're hoping to fit in multiple destinations or hone in on a specific area, experience culinary adventures or spend time in the great outdoors, there's sure to be an escorted tour for you.
