In this post, we will delve into the reasons why group travel is the best, the benefits of local group tours, and the advantages of exploring Caucasus (i.e. Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia) with a small group.
Why Group Travel is the Best:
First of all, small group tour packages provide travellers with a shared experiences and lesser costs: group travel allows you to share your adventures (and costs) with fellow explorers who have a similar passion for discovering new places. The bonds formed during group tours can lead to lifelong friendships, as you create memories and engage in activities together.

Benefits of Local Group Tours:
Insider Knowledge: Local group tours provide an authentic and immersive experience, as they are designed and led by locals who possess intimate knowledge of the destination.

Cultural Exchange: By participating in a local group tour, you have the opportunity to interact with locals, fostering cultural exchange and understanding. This engagement allows for a deeper appreciation of the destination’s heritage and traditions, enriching your travel experience to the region.

Traveling Alone vs. Guided group tour:
Independence vs. Shared Experiences: Traveling alone offers the freedom to customize your itinerary and explore at your own pace. On the other hand, traveling with a group allows you to share your experiences, engage in group activities, and benefit from the collective knowledge of fellow travelers.
Safety and Comfort: While solo travel can be empowering, it may raise concerns about personal safety, especially in unfamiliar surroundings. Traveling with a group provides a sense of security, particularly for first-time or cautious travelers.
Cost Efficiency: Group tours often offer cost savings as expenses such as accommodation, transportation, and guide services are shared among the participants. This can make traveling with a group more affordable compared to planning an independent trip.
