Group Travel offers great benefits for travelers looking to experience a new country, but don't have the courage to get out there on their own.

Group travel is not for everyone. We all know how difficult it is to travel with others, even when others are our best friends. However, for some, group travel offers a great opportunity to share the joys and frustrations that naturally come with world travel.

Group travel is an excellent social opportunity. Depending on the group leader, some groups do everything together, while others spend only a fraction of their time together.

The benefits of group travel include:

1. Choosing the group

2. Having a tour leader to take care of all customer service needs

3. A tour leader can answer questions, and take care of all planning needs, leaving you time for leisure and relaxation

4. It all happens without waiting in foreign travel agencies or slow, unreliable transportation

The only downfall to group travel is it is generally programmed to a fixed itinerary (arrival & departure dates).

Ideal group sizes are 12-14 people, anything bigger than that are an uncomfortable mess. Smaller groups have greater flexibility and can more easily go with the flow, following the needs and desires of the participants.

The idea of a well organized group tour will take you to ALL the places you wanted to see -plus some places you didn't even imagine!

Adventure tours usually take you to places that you are aware of, but are difficult to get to by yourself. Examples of this could be trekking the Himalaya's in Nepal, or African safaris

Group tours work best for those who are relaxed but punctual, curious about the local culture but not intrusive, share good humor, and don't hesitate to join in on a local soccer game!

Adventure travel isn't for everyone...but beware because IT is addictive!
