Have you ever driven abroad, tried to read a map and keep the car on the road at the same time and not done either very well? Have you ever broken down abroad and tried to explain in a foreign language where you are and that your radiator is leaking? Have you ever taken half a day trying to get from one place to another, furious that you're wasting your precious holiday time getting lost?
These are just a few of the scenarios that translate into reasons to take a tour!
Have a hassle-free holiday when you take a tour
While hiring a car and travelling independently can be fun, and certainly an adventure, first-time travellers might want to consider the stress-free holiday option and take a tour. You won't see any less of a country. In fact, you might see more - the tour guide won't waste any time getting lost! A tour guide will bring you tour to life with local knowledge, and take you to places that you might not discover on your own.
Let someone else deal with any problems when you take a tour
Take a tour and should anything go wrong, it won't be up to you to fix it. All you have to do is take in the view while someone else (who's well prepared to deal with problems!) puts it right.
If you take a tour, you can share your experiences!
And if you take a tour, you'll also be travelling in the company of like-minded people. It's lovely to have someone to share your feelings with when you see Machu Picchu or the Grand Canyon for the first time. And many a firm friendship has sprung up out of Gap Year for Grown Up tours.
