The problem with group itineraries is that you may end up going to a couple of places along the way that you may not really care to see or have already been to.Jesshttp://stampinmypassport.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-43063570606583492772014-07-01T11:55:19.337-07:002014-07-01T11:55:19.337-07:00They say it's a great way to meet new friends ...They say it's a great way to meet new friends along the way, especially the tours that are made specifically for 20 and 30 somethingings.Jesshttp://stampinmypassport.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-45551824189153693892014-07-01T11:54:40.666-07:002014-07-01T11:54:40.666-07:00I love the group excursion option.

I always seemed to stick with Heather, and we would venture off on our own path, rather than the schedule. It does sound great for a solo traveler who's nervous, but I would love the freedom to explore and experience within my own guidelines!Caity @ Where The Heart Ishttp://wheretheheartblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-81262183861922143692014-07-01T08:23:31.288-07:002014-07-01T08:23:31.288-07:00I love all inclusive travel because I can often fi...I love all inclusive travel because I can often find some great deals! <br />I took a trip to Turkey in highschool that was all inclusive and it was fantastic.Alyssa Dillonhttp://www.pinchoflyss.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-8881318638298793322014-07-01T08:21:26.016-07:002014-07-01T08:21:26.016-07:00Almost all of the vacations that I've been on ...Almost all of the vacations that I've been on have been all inclusive. Only two of my trips haven't been, and I think the all inclusive tour group ones are the best. Especially if you go to extremely tourist heavy places like Paris. My mom and I were able to go to Versailles and up the Eiffel tower without waiting in the painfully long lines. Same for the Louvre which is notorious for being very busy. I think for people on a tighter budget the tour group options aren't as appealing, but apart from that I think they make travel much easier.Kasi Zlochevskihttp://www.birchjuiceblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-41634243100554744602014-07-01T07:54:28.080-07:002014-07-01T07:54:28.080-07:00I'm so split here!

It really feels like exploring a new place when you DIY travel. However, I've been on an all-inclusive trip and it was super easy. The tour guide was informative and knew all of the best local spots. I think the best way is to combine the two--travel on your own, but pick and choose a few day trips with a local touring company :) xx <br /><br /><a href="http://thewhatsinbetween.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The What's In Between</a>Zoehttp://www.thewhatsinbetween.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343677507437526741.post-62094680559485430362014-07-01T05:23:58.275-07:002014-07-01T05:23:58.275-07:00My first trip abroad was a group tour (it was a sc...My first trip abroad was a group tour (it was a school trip) and it was kind of nice to have everything already set up, to just enjoy where you were without worrying.
