There are advantages of taking either of these two options. The intentions of your visit will determine how each option favors you. Here are expert views on the advantage of each mode of travel to enable you make the best choice.

Traveling alone gives you the liberty to choose your schedule. This means that you decide when to wake up and when to leave your hotel. Considering that people tour during holiday days, it helps you to fully utilize your breaks to rest. This will save you from rushing up and down in an attempt to catch up with other group members. You might be too sleepy or too tired to make the most out of your visit.

When you travel alone, you have the chance to see more. Groups are forced to move at the pace of their slowest member. This pace might not work for you. You also are forced to visit places, not because you want to but the planner had included them in the schedule. You are likely to have visited such places in the past. It becomes a waste of time and resources. This herding does not add value to your life.

Groups comprise of people who have to receive attention from guides at every stop. Because of numbers, the guides do not offer personalized attention. The visits should allow you to learn as much as possible. Without receiving the attention of the guide, you will be half informed about the places you visit. The intentions of touring might not even be fulfilled. This means that you have wasted your time and money.

Traveling alone gives you time to enjoy sites, relax and reflect on the scenes you are visiting. It is not always that you travel for excitement. Sometimes you want to relax and enjoy the sites and sounds of the surrounding environment. This is impossible when you are being herded with a group. You miss the depth about historical or religious sites yet these details are important. You will not fully appreciate the areas you visit or the experiences that define such areas.

Traveling in a group is not all bad. It gives you the best chance to make new friends. You chat along the path and network especially for social or business reasons. Since some understand details of certain places better, you will be continually exchanging ideas. You will end up with life long friends.

Depending on where you travel, there is always safety in numbers. While the dangers might not come from wild animals or strangers, moving in a park comes with comfort and encouragement. When you see and share the challenges other people are facing, you get the motivation to keep moving. Memories created with strangers are sometimes the best you will ever have in life.

Planning should be meticulous whether you are traveling alone or with other people. Have a clear view of all the places you will visit and the requirements to enable you plan adequately. As much as possible, engage an experienced tour planner who will tighten all the lose ends. You will be surprised at the suggestions they make out of experience. In case of a mishap, the planner will be quick to organize for rescue. The important people in your live should be informed of your plans.
