If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering “why on earth should I consider a group tour?” Well, at Contiki, we’re masters at putting together amazing group travel itineraries. Here are the six benefits of traveling with a group!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These days tours range from 30 \u2013 50 people depending on where you are traveling to. Generally, you\u2019ll get a diverse mix of ages, nationalities, and characters in one vicinity, so you\u2019ll always find your own little wolf-pack within the group. If you\u2019re an inexperienced traveler, it\u2019s comforting to know that you\u2019re going to be looked after and make friends from all over the world,\u00a0giving you that much-needed confidence boost so that the next time you travel you\u2019ll be all over it like a rash.<\/p>\n

Imagine someone with you at all times who eliminates all your niggles\u00a0and worries so you can enjoy exploring new lands. On a group tour, you are with the industry\u2019s best trip managers and local expert guides\u00a0\u2013 people who go through\u00a0rigorous training (and we mean rigorous \u2013 think army boot camp style) to ensure that you are in the best possible hands at any time of the day (or night). Want to know where the best gelato in Italy is? Ask your guide. Want to go off-the-beaten-path and see something cool? Ask your guide. They will help you unlock the history and insider knowledge of the world\u2019s greatest destinations, so you can get the absolute most out of your experience, without spending your whole time searching the internet or trawling guide books. Think of them as\u00a0an encyclopedia, but for travel.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the greatest myths circulating group travel is that you don\u2019t get a lot of \u201cfree time.\u201d We know\u00a0the contrary.\u00a0Group travel\u00a0<\/a>has evolved over the years as people\u2019s habits and requirements have changed. It\u2019s no longer a case of following a guide through a packed city center as they hold an umbrella in the air that you have to follow religiously. Instead, it\u2019s about giving you options. You\u2019re going to want to do the \u2018must-do\u2019s\u2019 which a group travel trip will sort for you, but equally, you\u2019ve got total freedom to spend your \u2018me time<\/a>\u2018 how you please. So basically, best of both worlds \u2013 the itinerary of dreams, and the choice to go off course. #Winning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the end of the day, group travel is there to make your holiday\u00a0seamless and effortless. Add to that a truly valuable experience with a heap of inclusions\u00a0that means more money in your pocket for food, shopping, or cool experiences.\u00a0Most often, accommodation, breakfast, transportation, a trip manager, and exclusive access to sights is also included.
