Top Travel Questions Answered: What Travelers Are Asking Online

i'm going to start off with asking you a question and then we can break it down from there sound good i'm ready bring it perfect this will be a good one this is going to more more or less go towards european travel which i know you've done before how much free time and independence time do i get when i take a group tour

Oh, that's actually a great question because a lot of people, when they book group travel, they think the whole day is going to be completely broken down for them and they're just going to be following somebody around with a flag like a bunch of ducklings.

There is definitely coordinated, guided components of that group travel.

However, they also understand the importance of you being able to explore on your own, to go shopping, to dine on your own.

So they build that into your trip.

Now, how much per se is it gonna be specifically? Well, that will vary on the type of travel supplier you use, the itinerary you use, and how much you want.

You can find somewhere you might have just a couple of hours each day.

You might have somewhere you get into the town, you meet your guide the night you get there, and then you don't see that person again for a few days.

So it's all going to really depend on the travel supplier, the itinerary, and who your travel advisor recommends you book through based on your specific wants and needs.

If you want a lot of free time, that can be found.

If you want minimal free time, that can be found also.

It all depends on your specific type of travel.

The tour guides do know that most people like to have travel time built in.

So I would figure on an average, at least a half a day, if not longer each day and sometimes a full day depending on your itinerary.

A lot of

travelers are going to want to explore on their own and see the small nooks and crannies of a certain city, especially if you're over in like an Italy and you want to really go and explore Rome by yourself.

This is very crucial before you book any type of a group tour is to make sure how much free time do you actually do have.

Yeah, and also keep in mind too, when you are on that group tour, if they're going somewhere and you don't want to go there, just talk to the guide and say, hey, do you mind if we skip this and go off on our own?

It's not like a prison chain gang

where you're committed every single minute.

There is a lot of flexibility built into those group travel trips that you take.

Great question, Internet.

Thank you.
