Traveling with tour groups can be fun, however, there is a huge downside: you practically don’t have any control over the things you see, the activities you do and the time you spend in each place. Sounds like a bummer right? It can be easily solved, though, by booking a private tour, especially with The Real Thing Costa Rica.
Here are your 5 reasons why booking a private tour will rock your world:
Hand Pick Your Favorite Destinations:
Traditional itineraries normally state you will visit A, B and C. But what happens if you want to visit D, or E or F and they are not included? Insert sad face here.
It doesn’t have to be like that! Wouldn’t it be awesome to say “I want this, this and that”, just like you were picking up a dish from this huge menu with lots of options? This is the way we work at The Real Thing, you select your favorite destinations and skip those that can wait for later. We will offer you some awesome options, but in the end, you decide which places excite you more.
Say “Bye” To The Tourist Traps
Sweat, crowds, noise, selfie sticks everywhere…this sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It is normally what you will find in a tourist trap. Tourist traps are a matter of luck: you may love them or you may hate them. If you love them, great! but what if you don’t dig them that much? With a private tour, you can just say goodbye and head over to your next exciting adventure, saving precious time to enjoy more of the places you’re interested in.
Skip The Rush
You get to visit this wonderful beach town or breathtaking mountain village, where you would like to stay forever, take pictures, chill out, enjoy the views, talk with locals…but oh no! It’s time to hurry, “we only have 15 minutes to walk around”. So you have to hurry and do as much as you can in 15 minutes, just to leave and wonder what awesome experiences you are missing because of the rush.
Booking a private tour means that you get to decide how much time you want to spend in a place. You liked the beach town? Ok, let’s stay for one more hour. It is completely possible to customize itineraries with a private booking, so you can really take the most out of your trip.
Ask All The Questions You Want
If you are a curious traveler, you may want to ask lots and lots of questions to satisfy your thirst for knowledge. However, traveling with a large group may restrain your curiosity as there is not much time to ask, less to receive answers.
On the other hand, when you travel with a private tour, you have the tour guide all for yourself! This means you can ask everything you want, explore, experiment and make the most out of your guide’s expertise.
