How Escorted Tours Can Save You Time and Money

Written by BestCruiseSpot.com Editor

Don’t let the weak US dollar curtail your plans to visit Europe. Now, more than ever before, is the time to consider a pre-paid escorted European tour. Once you have paid your deposit in full, your land price is guaranteed, and any subsequent land cost increases are absorbed by the tour company. By buying space in bulk and negotiating special rates, tour operators pass on savings to the consumer. Included in the price of your vacation are entrance fees to Europe’s most important sites, along with several meals designed to give you a taste of Europe. And to stretch your vacation dollar even further, many companies provide additional savings. Trafalgar Tours, for example, offers an Early Payment discount, a Young Traveler discount, and a Frequent Traveler Club discount. Central Holidays’ Early Booking Discounts can save you up to $250 per couple. And added value, such as the special wine tastings offered by Central Holidays on select tours, are available at no extra charge.

In addition to saving you money, escorted vacations provide convenience and comfort. All details are taken care of for you, allowing you to make the most of every moment of your vacation. In most cases, someone will greet you at the airport and take care of your baggage. You won’t have to waste valuable time trying to find things to do or sights to see, and reserved group bookings at many attractions eliminate having to wait in lines.

In the past, an escorted tour meant a pre-packaged trip with little variety or flexibility. Now, tours provide a balance of planned sightseeing and free time to explore on your own. And forget everything you’ve ever heard about bus travel. Motorcoaches used by tour companies are purpose built for safety and a smooth, quiet ride. Smoking is not allowed on the air-conditioned coaches, and you’ll never have to travel more than a few hours at a time.

Experts who have years of experience in planning the perfect tour create the itineraries for escorted vacations, and new itineraries are constantly being added. Central Holidays, for example, is offering a trip through the Italian Lakes region this year, and Trafalgar has introduced a 13-day Scandinavian Discovery & St. Petersburg tour.

From popular international cities to quaint countryside villages, today’s tours are packaged for all types of budgets. Simply determine where and when you want to go. Then let one of our experienced travel professionals help you select a tour that best meets your needs.
