Guided vacations are a type of travel experience that combines the convenience of a tour package with the flexibility of independent travel. They provide travelers with an organized itinerary, transportation, and accommodations, while also allowing them to explore on their own. Tour operators provide guided vacations in the form of tours, which are typically led by experienced guides who provide insight into the local culture and attractions. These tours can range from day trips to multi-week excursions, and can be tailored to suit any budget or interest.
