By Scott Thomas


Almost anyone would like to enjoy the rush of a good adventure. For this reason, many people are seen every now and then visiting new places looking for new adventures to take part in. This is exactly the kind of thrill that unguided travel offers. It is a rule free adventure with no escort telling you which sites to visit or keeping track of time.

There are a couple of factors that you need to focus on before you can venture into your little expedition. First on the list, is getting to go over the various suggestions offered by the various tourist attractions. Information or items such as maps, directions, and instructions can come in handy because they will help guide you on the right path and ensure that you do not lose your way. They also offer suggestions about fun activities, which you can engage in while you might be out exploring. You may access these kinds of information from websites or even handouts.

The second thing to keep in mind is to remember to carry a proper travel kit including an emergency phone. Since you will be going out on your own in unfamiliar terrain, you should make sure that you practice safety precautions. Do not venture into restricted areas; ask for help if you feel that you may be lost. Map out directions from your hotel to your destination so as to avoid getting lost. It is also advisable that you do not under any circumstance draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Adorn yourself in simple attire without putting on clothing or jewelry that would attract thieves.

If you are on this type of expedition where you have no escort, then you need to be extra careful on the mode of transportation you take. If you are seeking to rent a car, then it can be advisable to proceed with caution. Seek the services of a company with a good reputation. Carry out research and consultations if need be so as to ensure you do not end up dealing with the wrong kind of people.

With all the factors mentioned above considered, come the benefits of doing unguided tours. One such benefit being, it is cheaper. Tour guides, buses, and motor coaches cost a lot of money. Therefore, instead of adding this kind of additional costs, you should consider doing a self-guided tour.

Another benefit to be enjoyed is that it is flexible. Unlike in guided tours where a session cannot be interrupted, an unguided one offers flexibility in that in case you are faced with an emergency and you need to get away, then you can do this without hesitation. Also, the time is flexible in that you may visit a certain place and stay for as long as you would wish as opposed to having guided ones that operate under strict schedules.

Finally, you get an opportunity to cover the ground you wanted to cover from your tour. You get to explore different sites and discover new things. You also get an opportunity to interact one on one with the local community something that might not have been possible if you were with a tour guide.

Unguided tours offer the best traveling experience. If you are looking for a way to spend quality time with friends or family, then this is most definitely the best way to go.
