Even indie travellers end up in tour groups sometimes. Almost everyone will agree that a more authentic experience can be found by doing it yourself, but sometimes time or transport options leave you with little choice.

We suggest three reasons you might choose a package day-trip:
1. Somewhere you want to go, but can’t get there easily.
2. It goes to several places, some of which you might not make if relying on public transport.
3. It’s run by people you like and who understand your interests.

We balance these against reasons you might choose to go it alone and give you some thoughts aimed at helping you decide the day-trip dilemma: to tour or not to tour.
