There are many upsides to taking a group tour. Less stress, more discoveries, a friendly atmosphere: regulars will tell you it’s the best way to travel. Discover 6 good reasons to choose this type of travel for your next adventure.

1. Group travel is safe

You’ll be travelling practically at all times with people who know the destination and its culture inside out: your host and your driver. 

Local tour guides can also accompany you, depending on your destination or excursion. As your itinerary is already defined, you don’t have to worry about getting lost or going to less safe places. 

2. Groups are supported by travel experts

On a trip to Europe, three friends enjoy an ice cream in the street.
Organized group leaders are passionate about travel. They are experienced and know their destinations like the back of their hand. Their role? To see that you get the most out of your vacation. 

They’re your key contacts. They help you if you need assistance and can answer your questions. They’re there for you throughout your stay, even in the event of unforeseen problems such as a missed flight or medical emergency. 

3. Organized tours are turnkey packages

Reduced logistical stress, time savings, optimized itineraryChoosing a guided trip means choosing peace of mind to explore beautiful destinations, some of which are off the beaten path. Everything is planned down to the last detail, from flights to accommodations or cruises, often including meals and activities. 

4. Package tours offer more for your money
