What is a good itinerary for a multi-day tour?

We would like to share with you our understanding of how to measure if some itinerary is good or not. This is really a very good, valid, and right question: what is a good itinerary for a multi-day tour?

Well, let's start at the beginning. What is the tour itinerary? This is the route of a journey or tour, or the proposed outline of one.

As a rule, the itinerary will include the following items:
- trip details: start and end dates, major info about your trip, price, etc.
- travel details: dates, types of transportation, routes, accommodations, reservations, connection information, rentals, etc.

We want to focus on multi-day tour itineraries because of their complexity, content, and the effort a traveler is willing to spend. This is different from day trips.

Today, many companies offer different kinds of tours, shared or private, pre-defined or tailor-made, in a group or solo. What we offer you is really pretty simple and provides a fast and easy answer to see the result.

As the very first step, it will be good to see how big the group (if this is a group tour) you are going to travel with is. You will feel better in a big bus with another 30-40 people or in a small group of up to 7 people.

Next, what is your main purpose for this trip? Is that a stay in fancy hotels in another country or a discovery of the country?

And now, you need to measure the content. Every day, the trip will start at a specific time, and there are scheduled things to do. What you need to do is see the timing for a few selected days. Let's see it on example.

The tour begins at 9 a.m., with some time allotted for transportation to the first attraction. Does that mean you will start the road to attraction at 9am, or will you spend another hour waiting when the bus will pick up other people?

How long will it take to get to the first attraction? Is that half an hour to one hour, or three hours?

How long will you be allowed to see the attraction? It will be up to your pace, or you will have 20 minutes and, after being pushed by the tour leader, come back to the bus to come to the next place?

How many attractions are planned? How much time will it take to put it all together? How long will the road be all together before you come back to your accommodation or to a new one?

When is it planned to have food? Lunch or snack? Dinner? What if you get hungry along the way? What about toilet needs?

So, if you measure all that, you can understand how tight the itinerary is that you are looking at. And this is how you can compare similar itineraries from different companies.

As soon as you do it a few times, the whole process will be very easy for you, take almost no time, and give you great understanding. In the end, who knows you better than you know yourself?
