Group tour packages are basically tours arranged with an escort. The Escort most often doubles up as your local tour guide too. The escort is the leader in-charge of a particular group leading them to the appointed places mentioned in the itinerary. Again the itineraries are planned in such a way that they cover comprehensively all the places.

In a Group tour packages most often you will find yourself with a huge group of people who are either your relatives or couples and other family members travelling from different parts of the world. So all the people meet together at a point and head out with the escort on group tour. The arrangements made for group tours are done in a manner that most of the time the crowd is placed together in:

• Usually first class hotels ranging from 3 star hotels to 5 star hotels
• Excursions and special sightseeing is arranged

An exhilarating on the go tour makes life simpler and travelling fun. It can be extremely daunting to visit a country and not know the locale well. It might sound adventurous to journey out on your own with a map showing you the route and places but as a first timer visiting a foreign land you might want to consider being safe more than spontaneous and adventurous.

If you are not the adventurous type and like all things to be beautifully wrapped in a bow than Group tour packages are the best deal to opt for. Besides a guided and escorted tour you also get to meet new people or just have fun with your own known set of family members or friends.
