Escorted Tours 2022 & 2023 - Escorted Tour Packages
Escorted tours 2022 and 2023 are a great way to experience traveling to different countries without stress. There are now more touring styles than ever to match everyone's needs and budgets. Escorted tours for 2022 & 2023 are already set up perfectly to be hassle-free ways to experience new destinations.
Planning a trip can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Deciding which countries to visit, where to stay, what to see, and how to get from place to place adds up to a lot of research, planning, and potential headaches.
We can help. We have listed a handful of only the most reputable tour companies that offer escorted vacations. PLUS our agents have been in the business for over 30 years and have all traveled or lived in Europe, so they can provide you with additional insider tips. From selecting ideal destinations, accommodations, and itineraries to figuring out when to travel, what to pack, and how to get where you want to go, let us be your guide.
Why take escorted tours vs. traveling on your own?
Not only do you end up paying less for all that is included vs. trying to book things on your own, but you have the added benefit of experienced travel directors and expert local guides that will share their intimate local knowledge with you and assist in uncovering the rich history of each destination. You will experience things you could not arrange on your own. You will also save time by not having to stand in line at popular tourist sites so that you get more out of your vacation. Do you know that the line outside of the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum can easily be a wait of over 3 to 4 hours? With a 2022 or 2023 escorted tour package, your group goes to the front of the line, giving you more free time to enjoy the sites.
How much does an escorted tour cost?
That depends on a few things. Different destinations tend to have different base prices, but tour quality weighs into the overall price as well. For a budget tour, you can estimate about $150 per day for the land portion of your trip; on a first class tour, you can expect about $200 to $300 per day, and for a deluxe tour $400+ per day is common. Escorted luxury tours are also available, but prices tend to run much higher.
Why the big changes in price?
Well, it depends on the hotel you stay in (both quality and location can affect the price), how many meals are included, and how much sightseeing is included in the price. For example, a stay in a 4-star hotel is less than staying in a historic villa or castle. We can help you read through the itineraries and understand these differences so you know what to expect and pick the best trip.
Escorted Tours: What's Your Travel Style?
Escorted Travel
Want to experience the "best" parts of a destination while letting someone else handle the details? On an escorted tour, sightseeing excursions and most meals are planned for you with all of the details and logistics on tours handled expertly by an expert. You can form your own group or join one. You can see various countries at one time or focus on one or two countries more in-depth. If you don't want to travel by bus, there are Europe tour packages where you travel by train.
Leisure-Style
This is a first-class touring experience that includes everything that an escorted tour does, but moves at a slower pace. Itineraries are designed so that you spend 2 to 3 nights in each of the major cities and you have more free time to explore on your own as well.
Small Group Tours (usually 16 to 24 guests)
Because the group size is smaller, you get to spend more time with your tour guide, as well as move through popular sites more quickly, which means you will have more free time to explore. You also participate in some activities normally not available to larger groups, like private concerts, after-hours tours, cooking classes, or wine tastings.
Privately Guided Tours
More upscale hotels, breakfast daily, and your own driver/guide to take you on specially designed itineraries are common to privately guided tours. Prices are not as expensive as you would think to have a custom vacation, especially for a small group.
