The Top Ten Benefits of Escorted Travel

 

1: Better value for your travel dollar

Take advantage of bulk buying power. The United States Tour Operators Association reports that consumers can save an average of 15-20% when they purchase a vacation package. And a tour can offer much more for the price than you could ever buy on your own.

 

2: Experienced Tour Directors

Tour Directors help travelers discover the history and culture of their destination in a way that is not possible from a tour book. Their expert knowledge, combined with the practical experience of a well-seasoned traveler, makes travel abroad an enriching and fun experience.

 

3: Make new friends

Traveling as a group provides many opportunities to meet new faces and form long lasting friendships.

 

4: Worry-free experience

Traveling with a respected company means that your is investment safe. You know you will be staying in comfortable accommodations, experiencing enjoyable dining, and visiting worthwhile sites and attractions.

 

5: Never have to drive on the wrong side of the road

While not every destination you may travel to will have such drastic driving customs, you can certainly relax knowing you don’t have to worry about getting behind the wheel in an unfamiliar place.

 

6: Less stress

Traveling on a tour means you don’t have to have to worry about the coordination that comes with planning a major trip. You’ll have more time to enjoy the fun side of travel because your flights, hotels and transportation are taken care of for you.

 

7: Reduce language barriers

Traveling in a foreign country can be easier in a group environment. You can practice a new language with fellow travelers and rely on your guide when needed to help order lunch or find the restroom.

 

8: Know what the locals know

An expert guide can help you find the best bets and little known secrets about a place that other travelers might just walk by.

 

9: More relaxation

Upon reaching their destination, many travelers are surprised how much more time they have to relax because they don’t have to acquaint themselves to a new place.

 

10: Exciting itineraries

Itineraries developed by the experts will help you maximize your time and take in the very best sights and attractions.
