What do the words “tour group” mean to you? Images of a camera-hung horde shuffling along in the wake of a guide with a raised umbrella, racing through the country on a big bus and eating at huge tables in cheesy restaurants?
Happily that doesn’t apply too much these days, and let’s face it, organising your own accommodation, meals, the daily program and getting around can sap the joy out of foreign travel, so why not let an expert do it for you? Especially for exotic destinations such as India & Morocco and Romania in Europe, where language, food, culture and hygiene present a challenge, a group tour is a great way to go.
Better still if it’s a small group tour. Just like any other group tour, accommodation, attractions, guides and at least some meals are organised, but there are some big differences in the places where you stay, the experiences along the way and the pace of travel.
