The Top 4 Mistakes most travelers make: •Not getting to see key sights due to inefficient planning
•Wasting money on inefficient transportation
•Losing money at tourist traps
•Getting lost
• Waiting in Line on Holiday :
After standing in line all day, we can be too tired to enjoy what we waited to experience:
–Standing uses about 20% more energy than sitting, so we get tired more quickly
–It also causes swollen feet…then blisters and cramps
–And can also lead to back pain that can ruin your trip.
–A traveler standing in line for 15 minutes to view each monument or attraction can expect to feel the pain!
Don't make these mistakes because you didn't ask someone how to plan your trip.
Best Way to Kick Off Your Trip
You should always take a sightseeing tour to start off your trip. It will help you get the lay of the land, and show you where to spend the rest of your holiday. You will learn more about the city and will have a much better vacation if you take a tour when you start.
How Should I Plan My Trip?
1.Develop a plan in advance of your trip
2.Find the insider secrets the locals know about the city you are visiting ( shops, restaurants, best places to visit, etc.)
•The right local expert has to be:
–A tourist expert
–One who knows where to go and where not to go
–Knows how to save you cash …but still keep you safe and happy
3.Use resources available such as trip planners, travel agents, and hotel concierges
4.Create the best experience – a “European-Style Tour”
5. Call your hotel's concierge before you get there.
Once you arrive in the city, your hotel concierge is often a wealth of information to help you choose what to see and how to see it. They can suggest things to do, shopping and other areas of interest to you. However, you can contact your hotel's concierge from home… before you ever take off !
6. Call a sightseeing tour company.
Whether you take a tour or not, any sightseeing tour company worth their salt should be able to give you advice on your trip. The good ones will act as a trip planner before and during your trip.
Make sure you find a high quality sightseeing tour company that can help you plan a fantastic trip.
How to Make Sure You Have the Trip of a Lifetime:
Can you imagine if you had your own personal source of insider information on how to best experience the place you are visiting? What if your local expert could tell you how to save hours by visiting busy sites at slower times and by avoiding traffic jams? What would it be worth to have somebody make all your reservations for you and get you the best price for each item? What if you had a team of specialists you could ask any question about Washington DC or Los Angeles ? The way you get all of the above is by obtaining a sightseeing tour that provides personal service like the ones available in major European cities that offer a higher level of personal customer service.
You can find lots of information at this sightseeing tours site.
How Important is a Sightseeing Tour?
There are hop-on, hop-off buses in some cities that will take you around with an audio recording. These tours seem attractive in style until you realize you have no protection from weather, hot or cold, rain or shine… and no guide to help you or answer your questions. This type of “tour” won’t help you.
Avoid waiting at stops. Look for a tour where both the vehicle and the guide stay with you the entire time. That’s not only comforting but it helps you avoid exhaustion and feel safe and no ‘hop ons…hop offs.’
Which Attractions Should I See?
Statue of Liberty? Vietnam Veterans Memorial? The "Welcome to Las Vegas" Sign? Should you spend your time? Which others should spend time and money visiting? Your concierge, tour guide, sightseeing tour company, or local expert can help you answer these question.
