If you decided to plan your vacation in Romania, especially in a place where you’ve never been before, you’re probably thinking to choose between a shared tour and a private tour. Each of these options has certain advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages make the difference, so you choose the best option that allows you to have an unforgettable travel experience.
Having a tour in Romania: which way is it best ?
We all know that a shared tour means that you need to have a lot of patience. Why? Because you have to share a bus with a bunch of people you’ve never met before and your tour guide is unable to give you their undivided attention. Sure, sometimes it’s fun to make new friends if you’re lucky enough to go on vacation with a group of people that share some of the same interests as you do, but it could happen that you have absolutely nothing in common with your travel “colleagues”.
What is a shared tour?
Shared tour in Romania, also known as “circuits” are usually cheaper, but the biggest disadvantage is that you have to be constantly on a schedule, you have to travel with a large group of people (hence the cheaper price) and you have to keep up with the rest of the group. On the other hand, sometimes if just one tourist has a problem, like not having a valid passport for example, the entire group is delayed and the schedule is messed up.
Circuits try to squeeze as much tourist attraction as possible into the travel itinerary, which is not always beneficial. Sure, if you’re the type of person who is satisfied with having a bunch of pictures to show when you get back home, but without even remembering clearly what you saw, then this might be something for you.
If you’re interested in a more personal approach, not just a travel guide who has a bunch of notes that they’re reading to you on a monotonous voice, than a private tour is more suitable for your.
What is a private tour?
A private tour is a tour is meant for smaller groups of people, where the guide has a far more flexible itinerary prepared. It means that you are able to stay longer in places that you’re really interested in or even add new attractions, as long as the available time allows it.
On private tours, the guide is able to establish a more personal connection with the tourists, giving them the most important information, but also offering additional details whenever needed.
Another big advantage is the fact that private tour in Romania are also customizable. The travel itinerary may be changed according to your interests, without having to comply with the desires of the “majority”, like in the case of shared tour in Romania.
