Why choose a self-guided tour?
5 reasons

Traveling offer the thrill of discovering new places, tasting unique dishes, and immersing yourself in different cultures. For those seeking a more personalized and liberating travel experience, self-guided tours are an excellent choice. Discover France offers the perfect blend of flexibility, support, and independence at affordable prices. Still on the fence? Here are five reasons to opt for self-guided tour on your next adventure!

Freedom and Control

Self-guided travel empowers you to set your own schedule, choosing travel dates that fit with your life. Equipped with GPS, maps, cue sheets, and detailed road books, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace. This autonomy allows for spontaneous adventures and the thrill of navigating new paths. Plus, you can select your travel companions, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable experience without the constraints of a group tour.

Flexibility

Unlike traditional tours which are scheduled for a specified number of days and dictate when and where activities are to take place, self-guided travel provides much more flexibility. You choose the number of days, type of hotel (3, 4 or 5 star or any combination) and tackle activities at your own pace. Start when you want, finish when you’re ready, eat whenever you choose. If you decide you’d like to stay at a particular site a bit longer, no problem. Self-guided travel lets you set the pace of your trip and make whatever changes you choose as you go.

Autonomy but support

Although you are very much in control of your trip, self-guided travel still provides a great deal of support. For instance, your luggage is always transferred to your next hotel for you so you don’t have to worry about dragging heavy bags around. You’ll also receive orientation before you set off on your journey, on call support and emergency assistance. So although you are independent, you’re never completely alone!

Affordability

Self-guided tours provide the rich experiences of guided tours but at a fraction of the cost. Packages typically include accommodations, some meals, maps, regional information, and luggage transfers, with prices varying based on the trip length and accommodation choices. By eliminating the need for a personal guide, you save significantly while still enjoying a comprehensive and enriching travel experience.

Cultural immersion

Guided tours often rush through destinations, limiting your interaction with local culture. Self-guided travel, however, allows you to slow down and engage with locals more deeply. Carefully curated routes take you off the beaten path to charming towns and villages, where you can experience authentic local customs and traditions. This immersive approach provides a richer and more personal connection to the places you visit.

Self-guided travel is perfect for those who feel confined by the schedules and itineraries of guided tours. It offers the freedom to create your own journey, set your own pace, and explore on your own terms. Imagine a self-guided bike tour in France, where you can cycle through picturesque villages, vineyards, and historical sites at your leisure. With the same quality, style, and service as guided tours, but with added flexibility and independence, self-guided travel ensures a fulfilling and cost-effective vacation.

Embark on a self-guided bike tour in France and discover the true essence of travel, where every decision is yours, every experience is unique, and every moment is unforgettable.
