5 very useful Travel Tips
1. Visit the place at the right time
It's easy to say that you would love to go to the Eiffel Tower and plan a trip just to see the Eiffel Tower, but we recommend that you first check the weather, local festivals and the season in which you plan to go. Not only is it cheaper to go during the off-season, it also means fewer people and better photo opportunities. Remember that it is low season for a reason, so do your research and plan accordingly. Once you are there, make sure you know the correct time to visit each attraction.
2. Do a little research before you travel
Visiting somewhere for a particular attraction might disappoint you. We recommend that you have a complete list of activities that you can do in your destination, so that your trip does not only depend on an attraction, which may be closed or under construction right when you go. The beauty of traveling is exploring and finding surprising new places, but in a positive way. Therefore, let the destination surprise you and enjoy something more than the monuments on your list.
Remember to also delve into the prices of local meals, taxi fares, public transport schedules, etc. In different countries, when they see that you are a tourist without knowledge of the place, they can take advantage of the situation to charge you more than the real value. This is not always the case, but it is better to be informed.
3. Travel with someone you get along with
If you are looking for company on your next trip, traveling with someone with whom you get along and with whom you see yourself having a good time is key. Don't visit your dream destination with someone you just met weeks ago or have never traveled with. Try going somewhere other than your preferred destination first and see how things are going. Then plan your perfect vacation with them if everything goes well. Finally, keep in mind the well-known saying: "Better alone than in bad company."
4. Don't save money by hiring a cheap guide
While we recommend traveling with our tour guides by walking, to be honest, there may be places where our guide is not enough, as you would like to learn more about their history. In places like Athens , it is essential to take a tour to learn more about history, how it affects today's society and to avoid having to walk to the different attractions in unbearable heat. For guided tours, make sure it is the right tour for you, that it visits the places you want to go, and that it is within your budget. Don't take the cheapest tour, it could be the worst experience for you.
5. Book the first hotel night
The worst is when you arrive at your destination and have nowhere to stay, or your hotel is not in a convenient location. It has happened to us several times because we go on adventures at our own pace.
