(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 03, 2010 ) Scottsdale, Ariz. -- Self-guided travel is a growing trend due to the flexibility it presents and the extraordinary price that accompanies it. Offering support and independence, guests don't have to put forth much effort in order to generate a relaxing and memorable vacation. Here are 10 good reasons to choose a self-guided tour of France this year:
1. Freedom to choose your travel dates: You can make your vacation time work for you with self-guided travel. DonÂ’t work around someone elseÂ’s schedule.
2. Travel with only your favorite people: Want to visit France but donÂ’t want to get stuck on a group tour with 25 total strangers? Self-guided tours let you take your France dream trip with your spouse, friends, family, and favorite people.
3. ItÂ’s almost half the price of group and guided tours: ItÂ’s an incredible value because you pick and choose the activities and accommodation from a menu of options. No more paying for stuff that you donÂ’t want or need.
4. Luggage is always transferred for you: DonÂ’t worry about constantly struggling with a heavy suitcase or losing your luggage.
5. No minimum number of participants: Want to travel by yourself or have a romantic getaway with your spouse? No problem. Unlike other tour companies that can only run a tour if they have enough people, self-guided gives you a guaranteed departure.
6. A customized vacation: Do you want extra nights or hotel upgrades? Also not a problem.
7. Travel your own pace: Start when you want, finish when you want, and eat when you want. On a self-guided France tour, you wonÂ’t have to rush through France at breakneck speed.
8. Emergency assistance is offered: You are never alone in a foreign country as orientations and on call support are offered.
9. Giving you the ultimate control: Discover France includes Garmin GPS units, so following the routes they have expertly designed from years of experience, couldnÂ’t be easier with maps, cue sheets, and GPS units.
10. Cultural immersion: Without a tour guide to hide behind or only hitting the most-touristy highlights of France that most group tours feature, a self-guided France tour gives you the chance to interact with locals and absorb the culture in a personal way.
