We have always advised customers, that seeing a destination
by themselves by public transport, train or budget airline is
better than joining a package tour, excursion group or
sightseeing bus.
There are many exceptions to this rule, including in Europe, where it is neither cheap nor convenient to see the world's greatest sights by yourself. Even if you are an independent traveller, for purposes of efficiency if a great value day tour will do the job better, do take one. Here is a selective list, which is by no means exhaustive. This is a cheap and easy alternative to hiring a car and taking your chances with the GPS.
Abu Simbel, Egypt
Champagne, Wine and Castles Tour in the Loire Valley, France
Danube Bend Tour, Hungary
The English Lake District
Samaria gorge, Greece
Vøringsfossen waterfall, Norway
Te Anau & Milford Sound, New Zealand
North Wales, Conwy and Snowdonia National Park
Vietnam (Hue, Hoi An, Halong Bay)
