Australia Tours

Posted on Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Quite often, I am asked by a client, if they should take an escorted group tour or an independent customized tour. They always feel a customized tour will cost much more. Let’s take Australia for example. I have a supplier that can take a group, escorted tour and match it with a customized tour at a lower overall price. Negotiated group pricing is not always lower than individual pricing. The dinners included in a group tour may not be included in a customized tour, but breakfast is included every day in both examples. With a customized tour, you can include as much or as little sightseeing as you desire. With a group tour, if you prefer not to visit one or two of the included attractions, you feel compelled to do so, as you have paid in advance for the sightseeing and the admission fee to the attractions. With a customized tour, we give you many sightseeing choices to choose from. Perhaps you prefer a slower pace tour and would like to stay in one city longer than another. All of this can be arranged, as we are "customizing" this tour to your desires. This aspect in itself can work out to be more economical. In reading the hotel reviews, you might find a less desirable hotel is included in a group tour. With a customized tour, you choose the hotels in each city. There is no set category of hotels you must adhere to. You might decide on a five star hotel in Sydney and the review on a three star hotel in Cairns is to your liking. The choice is yours.
