4 Advantages of Small Group Tours in England
Itinerary is Planned for You
Exploring a destination is fun. Trying to figure out where to go, what to do, how to get admission, and which attractions to prioritize is, well, not so fun. On a guided tour, the itinerary is planned for you, and with Collette, that itinerary is planned by experts. Save time and skip the stress of planning. Better yet, know that you’re embarking on a tour built around the best of a destination, from its popular highlights to the gems not found in guidebooks.
Logistics Are Handled
When you go guided, in-destination transport and accommodation are planned for you. Make that guided trip a small group tour, and there’s a greater opportunity to go off the beaten path and explore more unique transport options. Easily fit on a ferry to cross England’s River Mersey, or set sail in the Lake District to see the area from a different perspective.
Get the Inside Scoop
Guidebooks and internet searches can teach you facts about England. But no written resource can beat having an expert tour manager or local guide by your side, ready to answer questions, reveal lesser-known stories, and bring an unfamiliar place to life. It’s something that can turn a day of sightseeing into an immersive experience. And with a small group, that destination expert is even more accessible to every curious traveller.
Connect with Like-Minded Travellers
With fewer people, small group travel naturally lends itself to a more intimate atmosphere where conversations and connections are welcome. And given that the travellers on a small group tour all have at least one common interest—the destination, England—there’s typically a good chance that other similarities are shared, too. Oftentimes, the result is a sense of companionship and an environment ideal for making friendships.
