Intrepid Travel: Not your average tour operator {Gadling}
Jun 24th 2010 1:08PM While I don't like being a part of the "large group of Americans rolling into town," I do think that taking a group tour is better than just cruising around a town by yourself - meaning that it's important to take factual and cultural information away from a place you visit as opposed to just "being there."
While group tours are more economical, shelling out the extra coin to build a customized trip with private guides can make a huge difference in terms of vacationing or visiting an area versus actually having a travel experience. I find that when you are in a very small group with a private guide (often a community member) you are suddenly on the "inside" and feel not like a tourist at all, but more like a visiting friend.
