I’m an independent traveller at heart. I love planning my own trips and moving at my own pace. But sometimes, a group tour is honestly the smartest option, especially when time, energy, or logistics are working against you.

The problem is, not all group tours are created equal. If you’ve ever been stuck on a massive bus, rushed through highlights, or dragged from one tourist shop to another, you’ll know how quickly a trip can lose its magic.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal process for choosing a group tour that actually enhances your experience, not one that leaves you frustrated and exhausted.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to know if a group tour is right for you
• Why group size matters more than you think
• What to look for in itineraries, transport, and accommodation
• How to avoid time-wasting tours
• Red flags to watch for before booking
• My go-to group tour companies (and why)

If you’ve ever felt torn between independent travel and organised trips, this episode will help you choose with confidence... without the overwhelm.
