Everyone loves to travel — whether it’s discovering the hidden corners of Europe, strolling through the markets of Istanbul, or cruising along the backwaters of Kerala. While solo travel offers flexibility, it often comes with the burden of planning, navigating unfamiliar places, and managing logistics single-handedly.
That’s why many seasoned and first-time travellers alike are now opting for group tours. At Vandana Travels, a trusted name in group travel from Vadodara since 1989, we’ve witnessed how shared journeys can make travel more convenient, more enjoyable, and far less stressful.
If you’re still wondering whether group travel is right for you, here are 9 compelling reasons why group tours are the perfect choice.

1. A Tour Leader Who Does the Thinking for You
From navigating unknown cities to sharing historical anecdotes and insider tips, your tour leader is your greatest asset. An experienced professional ensures the day runs smoothly, offers local insights, and is always available for emergencies, information, or even just a good laugh.
You’re never alone in unfamiliar territory — which means more time enjoying your trip, and less time staring at maps.

2. No Language Barriers
Travelling to non-English-speaking countries like Japan, China or Germany? Even fluent English speakers can face challenges in communication abroad.
With a guided group tour, you don’t need to worry — your guide handles the language, helping you move around with ease and enjoy local experiences without confusion. Plus, there’s more time to actually learn a few local phrases — and use them with confidence.

3. Group Rates and Holiday Savings

One of the biggest advantages of group tours is cost-effectiveness. From hotels and restaurants to entry tickets and transport — everything comes at a better rate when booked in bulk. This means more value for your money, and maybe even some extra budget for shopping or indulging in local treats.

4. Meet New People, Make New Friends

Travelling in a group brings together people from various walks of life. Whether you’re a solo traveller or a family joining a larger tour, you’re bound to make friends, share stories, laugh over meals, and create memories that go far beyond a photo album.
Plus, you’ll never need to take another awkward selfie — someone will always be there to capture the moment.

5. Expertly Designed, Time-Tested Itineraries
At Vandana Travels, each group itinerary is the result of years of experience, feedback, and fine-tuning. These holidays are well-structured, practical and enjoyable, including the best sightseeing spots, local flavours, shopping stops and even hidden gems you might miss on your own.
What’s more, our local partnerships ensure high-quality experiences — from trusted guides to top-rated restaurants.

6. Ideal for Busy Schedules
Love to travel with friends but no time to plan? That’s exactly where a group tour helps.
You simply choose your destination, confirm your booking, and everything else is handled — flights, hotels, meals, sightseeing, entertainment, and even on-tour coordination. All the fun, none of the fuss.

7. Peace of Mind for Family Back Home

Travelling alone can sometimes raise concerns — especially in unfamiliar countries. A group holiday offers a safe, structured environment with a 24/7 support system. Our tour managers and team ensure you’re well looked after, offering comfort not just to you, but to your loved ones back home.

8. Room for Personal Touches

Think group holidays are rigid? Not at all. While itineraries cover the essentials, we often help travellers include small custom add-ons — like visiting a café you’ve read about, or squeezing in a quick detour to a special site. With advance notice, our team can easily arrange it — giving you the best of both worlds: group convenience and personal freedom.

9. Because Travel Is Better Shared

From gondola rides in Venice to misty mornings in Munnar, certain experiences feel richer when shared. Group travel adds laughter to the journey, stories to the meals, and warmth to every destination. And sometimes, the people you travel with become the best part of the trip.
