Are you packing your bags for a vacation in the tropics, going on safari or getting ready to explore the historical wonders of Europe? It’s so exciting to travel and as you get closer to departure you might be wondering about private tours versus group adventures. While both travel experiences can be wonderful, they are also vastly different. So we’ve put together a low down on all you need to know
Private Tours
A group tour can be ideal if you are with family and friends and want to spend quality time together with some privacy. Another bonus is the freedom to set the trip’s timing, how long you spend at each location, and not having to wait for other travelers who are not part of your immediate group.
Group Tours
Group tours are fantastic if you want to be social and get to know other like-minded travelers. If you are a solo traveler, you can meet new people and if you are with family and friends, you can also join a group tour and have a fun time.
Private Tours
Every detail of a private tour can be personalized to ensure the experience is exactly what you are dreaming of. Departure time, locations, mode of transport, food and drink and add-ons can all be designed to create a unique travel experience to remember.
Group Tours
The wonderful part of group tours is they are effortlessly easy. Simply book, turn up and enjoy the pre-planned itinerary. Everything usually goes smoothly as the company has done the same tour many times and is an expert in arranging an exciting and enjoyable experience. What could be easier?
As exhilarating and fun as tours can be, they are also tiring. At the end of the day your luxury accommodation is a blissful oasis to return to. Depending on factors like age, fitness levels and mobility, a private tour might be more suitable than a group tour.
Private Tours
Private tours enable you to set the pace, which is especially nice if you are traveling with babies, children, elderly or someone with mobility issues.
Group Tours
Keeping everyone happy is always a challenge when planning a vacation. Group tours have so many options and include something for everyone so they can be the answer to a wonderful day for all. Research well and you should be able to find the perfect tour for your group.
Budget is another important consideration. Private tours can be more expensive than group tours, but not always. It depends on your numbers and if your group is the right size, it can work out to be a similar cost to a group tour.
Here is a summary of private versus group tours to help you start planning your wonderful and well-deserved vacation.
