Adventure tours are a great way to see the world and have some unforgettable experiences. But they're not for everyone. Here are some things to consider before booking an overseas adventure tour.
Pros:
1. They're great value for money
Adventure tours are often all-inclusive, so you know exactly what you're paying for up front. And because they're group tours, they can be a lot cheaper than travelling independently.
2. They're hassle-free
Organised tours take all the hassle out of travelling. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the ride. Your tour leader will take care of all the logistics, from transport and accommodation to activities and sightseeing.
3. You'll meet like-minded people
One of the best things about adventure tours is the people you meet. You'll be spending a lot of time with your fellow travellers, so it's a great way to make new friends from all over the world.
Cons:
1. You might not get to see everything you want to see
Because you're on a set itinerary, you might not have the flexibility to stay longer in places you love or skip places you're not so keen on.
2. You might not get to do everything you want to do
Similarly, your tour might not include all the activities you're interested in. If you're dying to go white-water rafting but your tour only offers hiking and biking, you might be out of luck.
3. You might not have much privacy
Sharing a room with a stranger, being on a bus with a group of people and having set mealtimes can be a bit of a shock to the system if you're used to travelling independently. If you're someone who likes their alone time, an organised tour might not be for you.
