group tours

Collective sightseeing trips

Group tours are organized travel experiences where multiple people visit destinations together, following a predetermined itinerary with a guide or tour operator.

They offer convenience and structure—transportation, accommodations, and activities are arranged in advance: We booked a group tour of Italy.

The trade-off is less flexibility than independent travel.
