Companies like Topdeck Travel do group trips for young people (18-30 somethings) all over the world with flexible itineraries and a tour leader who takes care of all the details.
When considering a group trip, the first question people want to know is, “Is it worth it?” Could you do the same trip yourself for less? Or possibly with more freedom? Or does doing a group trip take care of the extra hassles you bump into when traveling alone? Or the inconvenience of trying to plan a trip from another country?
Before you make your decision, there are a few things to consider when deciding whether to do a country yourself or with a group like Topdeck Travel.
You want to go abroad but planning all the details yourself intimidates you.
Maybe it’s your first time traveling solo. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to see Egypt but going without a tour group seems overwhelming. There is a lot of planning that goes into a trip overseas and some travelers would rather the details be handled for them! It makes going abroad a lot more relaxing and less work.
You want to travel with friends but none of your friends can get the time off/afford to go.
People travel solo on Topdeck all the time because friends back home weren’t able to join. If the idea of traveling totally by yourself doesn’t appeal to you, you can join a group trip by yourself. That way you still get the excitement of adventuring off on your own but the comfort of going to new places with friendly faces. Because after just a few days on a trip, you’ll already have made plenty of new friends.
You want your trip to be stress free so you’d rather let someone else handle all the details.
Maybe you’ve got a busy schedule and it’s difficult to find the time to sort all the details for your trip. Some people want their trips to be a break from their busy lives. And because of that, they’d rather just be pleasantly surprised and taken along for the adventure!
You want to maximize your trip and see a lot.
Topdeck crams a lot of adventure and activities into their itineraries. If you’d like your holiday to consist of mostly relaxing at a beach and sleeping in- you’d be better off booking a cruise or a resort stay. There will be some early mornings, lots of miles driven and tons of activities to pick from! On your free days, you can choose to relax and catch up on sleep or sign up for optional activities or tours. From cooking demonstrations to ghost tours to helicopter rides- there is no shortage of things to experience!
You want to meet new people while traveling.
There is no better guarantee for incredible, lasting friendships than to go on a trip with people. Something about shared experiences really brings everyone together. Inevitably romances happen, life long friendships are formed – there have even been a number of weddings thanks to Topdeck trips!
If you want to meet new people, shake up your routine and connect with other like minded travelers your age- then a group trip might be just what you’re looking for!
You want to be pleasantly surprised by the itinerary.
Little Havanna in Miami, the waterfalls of Yosemite National Park, a private jeep tour through Monument Valley and horseback riding through Colorado are all lesser known gems of the Topdeck North America itineraries. When you book a trip with Topdeck- you probably chose the itinerary based off the bucket list excursions like a night out in Las Vegas or a visit to the Grand Canyon. But often times, people end up having a favorite stop they’d never even heard of and would have never known to book on their own trip.
If you fit any of the above categories, then YES IT’S WORTH IT.
If some of these statements were true for you, Topdeck might be a great fit. From the social aspect to the ease having your trip planned- it makes for a nearly effortless vacation. Such a breeze! If spending a lot of time with a group of people or having some long drive days don’t appeal to you then do the trip yourself!
