Value-for-money packages are
available in Sri Lanka and overseas. These include India,
Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket),
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, UK, Continental
Europe and Australia. We facilitate tours on
Cosmos and
Globus buses,
Princess Cruises and
Star
Cruises. You
should book these well in advance, and the dates of
departure are fixed.
We do not organise company-accompanied
tours at the moment, but recommend GIT and FIT travel.
The pros of accompanied travel
are that: you have a guide who speaks the local language, you get the advantage of group
airfares and hotel group discounts, and much of the
unknown risk factor and possible scamsters is removed. Some meals are included.
The cons of accompanied travel are that: you are restricted
to the sights included on the tour, you are restricted to
operator-selected airlines and fixed dates of departure from
restricted starting points, you have to keep up with your
group or stay back if someone in your group goes missing at
stops, and time to fully appreciate your destination, including its culture
and its people is restricted. You are at the mercy of
traffic when travelling on Seat-In-Coach basis, your meal choices are also restricted if they are
included in the package, and it may not be the cuisine of
the area, but could be British pub food or even be from a fast food
chain.
There are many who prefer package tours.
In fact, it can prove to be
quite tiring, and not quite satisfying, compared to the
alternative.
