Why Choose an Escorted Vacation? Even in the U.S.A.
When planning a vacation, deciding where you want to
go is the easy part. Researching and organizing your trip can be stressful and can take up a lot of your time. That’s why traveling on a group vacation is a perfect solution that requires you to choose your destination and then sit back and relax. You’ll enjoy a unique experience and won’t have to worry about which hotel to stay in or getting lost on a back road.
HERE ARE SOME GREAT REASONS TO CONSIDER GROUP TRAVEL:
Unique Experiences.
Whether you are looking to explore enchanting castles in Ireland or take a journey to the United States’ Midwest, group trips consist of carefully selected destinations that offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Many of these destinations are sure to be on your “Bucket List” of places to visit.
Less Hassle, More Value.
Instead of having to book everything separately, these vacations are wrapped up into one convenient package price – which usually includes transportation, airfare, hotels, activities and some meals. Plus, because of the volume of business, group travel experts can often negotiate lower prices than someone traveling on their own.
The Convenience Factor.
Organizing an elaborate trip can be an overwhelming task and may be downright deflating. Group travel experts research and put together itineraries that feature unique opportunities for travelers. This saves you the trouble of researching hotels, flights, restaurants, directions and activities. Also with most group vacations, a travel escort is with you for the duration of the trip to help ensure that your plans run smoothly.

Let Freedom Ring.
Many people who hear the words “group travel” have the assumption that these kinds of vacations don’t allow for free time. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Group travel experts know you don’t want your vacation to be tied down to the minute, so they purposely schedule downtime into itineraries. Hotels are chosen in ideal locations specifically to allow you the freedom to explore on your own.
Save Money.
Traveling independently can cost you in the long run when unforeseen expenses arise. It’s easy to forget to consider certain logistics, like transportation from the airport to the hotel or even local exchange rates. With an escorted vacation, all your expenses are paid upfront so you can
rest assured that there won’t be any unexpected costs.
Shared Experiences.
There’s nothing better than vacationing with people that love to travel and have similar things in common with you. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family or doing the trip solo, you’ll always have someone to explore new worlds, share experiences and converse in great conversation.
There are many reasons why group travel is a perfect solution for your next vacation. Alleviate the stress of planning and leave the preparation to the travel experts. Contact your local travel agent to find out what group vacations are available to you.
