The Top 4 Mistakes most travelers make:

•Increased stress trying to plan your day activities and navigate the city

•Frustration from trying to see the complex city on your own

•Spending more time in line than sightseeing

•Getting lost

• Waiting in Line on Holiday :

After standing in line all day, we can be too tired to enjoy what we waited to experience:

–Standing uses about 20% more energy than sitting, so we get tired more quickly

–It also takes a toll on the feet, hips, knees, neck and spine

–And can also lead to back pain that can ruin your trip.

–A visitor standing in line for 15 minutes to view each monument or attraction can expect to feel the pain!

Don't make these blunders because you didn't ask a local expert how to plan your trip.

Best Way to Start Your Vacation

You should always take a sightseeing tour to start off your trip. It will help you get the lay of the land, and show you where to spend the rest of your holiday. You will learn more about the city and will have a much better vacation if you take a tour when you start.

How Should I Plan My Trip?

1.Develop a plan in advance of your trip

2.Find the insider secrets the locals know about the city you are visiting (things to do, where not to go, etc.)

•The right local expert has to be:

–An attraction expert

–One who knows what to do, when to do it, and what not to do

–Knows how to save you cash …but still keep you safe and efficient

3.Use resources available such as trip planners, travel agents, and hotel concierges

4.Create the best experience – a “European-Style Tour”

5. Call your hotel's concierge before you get there.

Once you arrive in the city, your hotel concierge is often a wealth of information to help you choose what to see and how to see it. They can recommend tours, restaurants, things to see, and other areas of interest to you. However, you can contact your hotel's concierge from home… before you ever leave home !

6. Call a sightseeing tour company.

Whether you take a tour or not, any sightseeing tour company worth their salt should be able to give you advice on your trip. The good ones will act as a trip planner before and during your trip.

Tour companies know the best stuff to see and do, the best times to do and see them, and the best ways to save money and avoid the pitfalls.

How to Make Sure You Have the Trip of a Lifetime:

Can you imagine if you had your own personal source of insider information on how to best experience the place you are visiting? How much money could you save if they kept you away from tourist traps and other pitfalls? What would it be worth to have somebody make all your plans for you and get you the best price for each item? What if you had a team of specialists you could ask any question about Las Vegas or New York City ? The way you get all of the above is by acquiring a sightseeing tour that provides personal service like the ones available in major European cities that offer a increased level of personal customer service.

How Important is a Sightseeing Tour?

There are hop-on, hop-off buses in some cities that will drive you around with an audio recording. On these buses, when you are finished seeing a site, you walk to a bus stop and wait… and wait… for the next available bus that has an open seat. This type of “tour” won’t help you.

Look for a tour that has personable, knowledgeable tour guides. You want to see the city through the eyes of a local.

When is a tour not a tour?

Fear of getting lost is a frequent cause of stress when in a strange city. Some visitors will decide to take a “tour” thinking to eliminate the work and stress, only to discover more frustration. Most tour companies are just transportation companies…leaving you on your own in a confusing ‘hop-on-hop-off’ transport system with little or no Guidance. You are stuck juggling a map, bus stop list, stack of brochures and website printouts.
