What is a self-guided tour?

Here's what you need to know about this tour format:

• Freedom and flexibility:

  • Self-guided tours allow you to explore destinations at your own pace without the constant presence of a guide or the need to follow a group. This setup offers unparalleled flexibility, letting you decide how to spend your time each day.

• Ideal for independent travelers:

  • These tours are especially suitable for those who:
    • Enjoy a mix of leisure time and structured activities.
    • Are comfortable navigating new places without continuous guidance.
    • Prefer exploring locations on their terms, relying on their resourcefulness.

• Accommodation arrangements:

  • Due to the independent nature of these tours, the option to share accommodations with other travelers is typically not available. Solo travelers often need to pay a single supplement to cover the cost of private accommodations.

How to identify a self-guided tour

• On the tour page, below the photo, look for labels. If you come across a label that says 'Self-Guided', it means that the tour is designed for independent exploration.
  
• You can also check the 'Guide' section in the 'What's Included' category to see if a guide is provided.
  

For more specific information or if you have questions about a particular self-guided tour, use the 'Contact Operator' button on the adventure page. This feature allows you to communicate directly with the tour operator and receive detailed responses about the tour format and what to expect.

Self-guided tours offer a significant degree of independence, making them a perfect choice for travelers who value the freedom to explore on their own while still benefiting from a structured itinerary and pre-arranged logistics.
