Group Tours VS Solo Travel: What’s Better?

When you plan a trip, there are some essential things which you need to sort out first. So, primarily, you choose the destination, and then decide whether you want to travel with a group or solo. However, what does this mean?

Solo Travel refers to when one decides to travel by themselves without any companions. On the other hand, group tours refer to travelling with 2 or more people. This could be your family, friends or even strangers. In this blog, we shall answer the most important question: whether to opt for a Group tour packages or a Solo traveller’s package.

Group Tours: Merits and Demerits

MERITS	DEMERITS
You get a tour guide who accompanies you so that you get a better understanding of attractions and landmarks.	The schedule is not flexible, so you have to stick with the group’s itinerary and plans.
Group travel offers a certain sense of security and safety which you will not get while travelling solo.	The pace of the tour also depends on the group and not you personally.
No trouble picking up destinations, accommodation, and the itinerary.	There is not enough room for customisation, as you have to stick to one particular schedule.
Save money on deals as you travel in large numbers.	Group tours often have a fixed path which covers only major attractions. This way, you can not explore hidden gems and attractions.
Travelling in groups is also a great way to socialise and meet new people who come from different walks of life to have similar experiences to you.	The timings are also fixed and rigid, so you cannot be late and have to follow the schedule.

Solo Travel: Merits and Demerits  

MERITS	DEMERITS
Travelling Solo gives you a sense of freedom that enables you to travel, however you want and wherever you want.	The number 1 demerit of solo travel is safety and security concerns. You have to be cautious while travelling abroad.
Solo travel is a path of self discovery, where your confidence gets boosted as you follow your own trail.	If you are someone who loves company, then travelling solo can be a very hard trip for you.
As you’re alone, you can focus on how much to spend and not worry about over spending.	Handling the logistics like booking, planning, and language barriers all by yourself is also challenging.
You can customise your itinerary however you want and not worry about sticking to one particular schedule.	There is also a lack of shared experiences, where it is only you in your stories and no one else.
When you travel alone, you meet new people and make new connections.	In case of emergencies, solo travellers do not have anyone to rely on.

So, these were the merits and demerits of solo travelling. Check out the exclusive Solo Travel in Dubai packages and also solo travel for women tours.

Which is Best for You?  

Now that you know all the pros and cons of group tours and solo travelling, it is time to make a decision. To sum up, if you are on a journey of self discovery and need to spend time with yourself, then opt for solo tours. On the other hand, if you are someone who wants to have a good time, meet new people, and make unforgettable memories, then opt for group tours. The final choice depends on individual preferences.
