A guided group tour is when a group of people travel together on a preplanned itinerary of transportation, hotel, some meals, and activities. With Pro Tours that often means that a Tour Director accompanies the group as well. A group tour can be a bus tour or a fly-in and bus tour combination. It is different from independent travel because a tour operator is planning your trip for you. You don’t have to worry about booking hotels, paying each supplier, searching for the best activities, or sometimes even where to eat! The most stressful thing you must do is book your trip, pack, and show up the morning of your trip.
