Are we evaluating apples to apples?
It’s essential to notice that evaluating a packaged journey to a customized Euro Travel Coach journey will not be evaluating apple to apples. As talked about, the tour operator I’m utilizing for comparability states that individuals shall be touring as part of a bunch with 24-28 different folks, half the scale of most tour teams.
Many of the vacationers we work with favor to not journey with a bunch of this dimension. They are well-traveled or in a position to work properly with the preparation and recommendation Euro Travel Coach shares with them. They don’t need a group chief directing their time. They additionally worth our customized itineraries and deep vacation spot experience. They are impartial vacationers.
Nonetheless, it is necessary for me to notice right here the variations between the bundle journey and our itineraries.
· The packaged journey is a group journey the place folks purchase a spot (or 4) on an present tour, scheduled to depart on a particular date. At Euro Travel Coach, we create solely personal journeys, though we do numerous households, buddies and personal teams. You depart on the date that you simply select your self.
· The packaged journey additionally features a tour chief – somebody who’s with the group 24/7. People touring on considered one of our customized itineraries don’t have a tour chief with them. They do, nonetheless, have entrance desks, native guides and drivers to assist, and we’ve given them quite a lot of private steerage in preparation for his or her journey.
· The packaged journey can’t be personalized. Our journeys are all created primarily based on the pursuits, tempo, and funds of our vacationers.
