Vacations are important because they give you peace and relaxation away from your everyday life, but they’re also expensive. You want to get the most fun with your money and that means choosing the right kind of tour company.

The best tour groups do more than help you plan your trip and get you from place to place. They are there for you throughout the process from start to finish. They’re like good friends that want to see you happy and will do everything to make sure that happens.

We’ve put together some travel tips to help you choose the best tour company for your vacation.

The Best Tour Groups Have Been Around A While

The problem with many tour groups is they’re new fly by night businesses that are here one day and gone the next. The longer a tour company has been around the better. They’ve developed a reputation and history.

Plus, they know more about the non-touristy destinations and the little niche experiences that you can’t find anywhere else. They’ve developed a rapport with locals and businesses. They might even be able to get your discount on hotels, restaurants and more because of their long history.

Check Online Reviews

We live in a digital world and with sites like Yelp to give customers an outlet for reviews you can determine the reputation of a tour company. People don’t hold back on the good and the bad in online reviews.

The tour company has no control over the reviews, so you know you’re getting the truth from people that have been in the same position as you. Check to see how many positive and negative reviews they have.

Also, check how the company responds to those reviews to get an idea of how they operate.

Customer Service Matters Most

When you contact a tour company, how fast did they get back to you? Did they provide good information? Did they give you their total attention?

When you’re in another country and surrounded by people you don’t know, you need someone that you can count on. Tour companies that don’t get back to you in a timely fashion while in the planning process won’t be there for you during an emergency.

How the travel company treats you before you make an order is how they’ll treat you after you make an order. Don’t pick someone that doesn’t get back to you quickly and isn’t professional.

Check Their Social Media

Travel companies have many opportunities to create and post photos of their travels. If they don’t have social media or use canned or promotional photos, then that’s a red flag. They should be proud of their excursions and post pictures on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media accounts.

Enjoy Your Vacation

The best tour groups treat their guests with respect and make sure everyone has fun. They’ll show you the sites and provide plenty of opportunities for shopping, eating and more.
