- They’re easy to do. All the logistics of the trip are pre-planned and will a trained guide, transportation, accommodations, and the best sightseeing opportunities.
Independent Travel
With a self-guided vacation package, you’ll still enjoy low hotel rates and pre-packaged itineraries, but there won’t be a tour director traveling with you. Sightseeing is done on your own or with local guides.
You’ll have everything you need at your fingertips, but with the added freedom to pick and choose what you want to do and when – all at your own pace. Plus, you have the peace of mind knowing that your travel planner will have your back whenever you need assistance or advice!
- For experienced travelers who are looking for new challenges. If you find yourself a little overwhelmed planning trips or thinking up things to do, a self-guided tour is great!
- For families travelling with children. Kids have their own schedule, and a self-guided trip will give the whole family plenty of options of things to do, without the pressure of having to stick to someone else’s schedule.
