Posted by Italy Luxury Tours on May 2nd, 2017
If it comes to a toss up between large package tours or a private custom tour, the following considerations will help to make the choice. Large group tours and private custom tours cater to the needs of specific segments. Each type of tour has its own set of benefits; some offer greater economy while others offer a more relaxed experience. Make your choice depending on how you would like to enjoy your tour.
Relaxed and customized tour to meet specific preferences in location and cuisine
Private customized tours offer members the choice of choosing the destinations, the duration of the stay and the cuisine. Large group tours, on the other hand do not offer this luxury, with the group members having very little say on the aspects of the tour. This is mainly because of the need to keep costs low, and take advantage of offers and discounts in locations during specific periods. A customized tour lends greater freedom to the tourists affording them greater time to enjoy the locations.
Group package tours squeeze in a tight itinerary
Group package tours squeeze in a tight itinerary. This is primarily because of the need to take tourists through a number of destinations during the tour. Package tour operators advertise a number of locations during the tour. The number of locations plus the need to keep all the tourists together sometimes proves to be a time consuming task. People of varying age groups have different speeds visiting, climbing stairs descending little hills and mountains. The tour operators will be forced to hurry movement up in an effort to get everyone on board the transport in time, before they are taken to the next location. This packs in a tight itinerary.
For a different experience choose the Customized tours
Tourist may desire to visit only a particular location and not have to pay for all the locations. This option is best met in a customized tour. For instance, a small family may desire to have a little pilgrimage to Rome and get a chance to hear The Holy See. A package tour would not offer them this particular option of paying for and visiting only Rome. A customized trip can help tourists plan a detailed itinerary and take their time strolling through the Vatican. Or a couple may be looking for a romantic interlude in Venice, away from the click happy tourists. A customized package tour can help set up a rendezvous for the couple with Venice, with matching accommodation and cuisine/
Depending on the nature of the visit and the age group of the visitors, the type of tours can be selected. However, with a slightly higher budget, the experience of touring Italy can be taken to the next level with a customized private tour. The joie de vivre includes tasting the finest cuisine that different locations have on offer, and customized tours lay greater emphasis on this aspect.
