A friend that works with DH told him she went on an escorted tour through a company called Gate 1 Travel. She said she really enjoyed it. But I dont know what to expect. Has anyone ever done this??? They have a Moroccan one were interested in...

Re: Has anyone ever done an escorted tour?
I think escorted tours can be great! I went on one when i was younger. It's great when you go to another country and wnat everything taken care of. I know for me it made me more comfortable. They make sure you see the right things, eat at the right places and get to where you need to be. It's definitely more of a scheduled thing but it could be great. A downfall may be that if your tour doesn't ahve good people on it it may stink...

escorted tours are fabulous in foreign countries b/c in addition to tourist attractions they can show you the little places off the beaten path - i.e the hidden treasures

Re: Has anyone ever done an escorted tour?
I did one when I was in HS on a school trip and it was really fun! It's nice having a guide, and not having to worry about getting yourself from place to place--also a great way to see a lot in a shorter period of time.
My parents just did one in Italy for 12 days I think and had an AMAZING time! Another perk for them was that they were with a group of people so they made friends with other couples and things like that, which they enjoyed also!

i think it depends on how you and chris are. Some people its great for them and others its not. Personally joe and i hate a schedule on vacation. Even when we've gone with a big group we do our own thing bc everybody else wants to do this at noon, another thing at 1pm, and everything is just too scheduled hahahaha. We like to come and go as we please, wake up when we want, get ready when we want and do our own thing. Explore things on our own
But if you two like to stick to a schedule then its great

I never thought of us as schedule people but honestly, in the 7 years we have been together weve never been on a real vacation. We went to Miami ONCE. Isnt that nuts. SO I dont even know what we would like. I think we are the type to feel lost easily and we would end up doing nothing if we didnt have some type of guidance. I think it might be perfect for us! I guess theres only one way to find out lol

Re: Has anyone ever done an escorted tour?
ohhhh boy. lolol. I went on one with my mom in ireland. we always giggle when this comes up. we say 'yes we were bus people' here's what i have to say about it 1. there is really NO BETTER WAY to learn about the place you are visiting. having a local take you to and fro is really the best. and there is so much detail and culture you get from a real person vs. a book. stories etc.
2. its a schedule! usually waking early too. also it seems that your always hurrying to get somewhere on time only to wait for people who are running late.
so the later is why my mom and I roll our eyes - and why we got a little grouchy toward the end of our trip. but even though we joke - we always say that everyone should do it once, maybe not for the full duration of your trip though.

I think were gonna end up doing it. We gotta figure out what we like somehow! And I think there are options to not follow the itinerary if we dont want to do certain things.

If that's the case then a guided tour would be great! FH and I are like that. And when you make it to a foreign country you really want to see alot. Especially your first time there. I personally like the structure. It's nice to know everything is taken care of. They normally give you free tiem too to do what you want so you get the best of both worlds.

yeah do a more lenient tour, not one that makes you meet up at 7am to have breakfast, well for me i would never even make it. When im on vacation i never make it to breakfast and they serve until 10am lol. You can probably call and ask about this and they'll give you alot of info

OKay we definitely would not be happy waking up at 7 on our honeymoon especially since DH wakes up at that time every day! Im gonna take a look at the site again now ans see what else they have. They even have tours for Morocco but DH said those are dangerous cause we wont be on a resort

i think it depends, its not that FH and i dont like structure but we like to do things we want to do and when lol. We still do alot but different things. When we've been on vacation we like to go to certain restaurants so we prefer to go to particular places for example in spain the first place we want to try is this restaurant called Moo, and i have a few other places that are a must to eat at so i think the problem is i have my things set for what i want already. Our activities might different. For example were going to spain for our HM, i did all the research of everything to see there, restaurants, shopping, things to do. So while we visit gothic square for example we're going to want to also stop and go shopping or while walking around gothic square we'll probably see an outside cafe and say hey lets just try this place out. Then when we get back to the room want to relax without having to rush and at night go out to eat, go to the casinos which i dont think are on the tours and do our thing.
Plus for our HM we would like to be alone, well when we go on vacation and do things like the casino for example we always meet ppl and hang out and talk to them but go out to eat alone, even seeing sites have our quiet romantic alone time.
So it all just really depends. I think tours are great for alot of people but you can still have structure without a tour

well dont know if they'd meet at 7am, i have heard of a few tours that meet up early for breakfast. But they should provide you with all the info now. What does chris want to do?
