I truly believe there is a touring holiday for everyone - whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, group of friends or family.
So here are my top 5 reasons to book a touring holiday!
#1 - Hassle Free Travel
You will have great experiences without having to research and plan a complex itinerary. Plus there is always optional add-ons or free time to explore so you can still have a customisable trip but without the hassle.
#2 - Value for Money
Due to the buying power of a group, escorted tours are on average 30% cheaper than trying to book all the elements separately yourself - it's a win win! Check out our example price comparisons to see how much you could save.
#3 - Group Camaraderie
This is particularly important if you are a solo traveller like I was. You'll find all ages, all interests and all types of people on the tour, meaning no matter where you go, you're bound to come across like-minded travellers with a similar sense of adventure. It is also a great way to gain trip recommendations and travel tips for your next getaway - I came away feeling so inspired.
#4 - Expert Drivers & Guides
Having a driver means you can sit back and enjoy the scenery, while your tour leader brings the place to life by telling you the stories you simply won't find in the guidebooks. On top of that, they'll take care of all the practicalities, from checking in at the hotel to arranging for your bags to be taken straight to your room, so all you have to do is focus on having a good time.
#5 - Unique Experiences
Whether you want to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, go rafting along the Colorado River, or cycle from one Loire Valley vineyard to the next, there's a tour that will take you straight to the heart of the action. Many tours also offer unique, authentic or VIP experiences that you would struggle to find yourself.
So there you have it!
