Exploring a new city on your own can be tough, and that’s why many people opt for guided sightseeing tours. They come with many pros and cons, and here are a few things you should take into consideration before booking one.

Right Timing

If you’re staying in a new city for longer, feel free to take it slow, but guided tours are a good idea for travelers who are short on time. Instead of planning what to see and when to go, you can simply book a tour, and everything will already be arranged for you.

Fall in Paris is the BEST!!! The whole city explodes into color and since we visit each November we always get to see some amazing color!⁣ ⁣ I can’t believe this was our first time visiting this Tuileries Gardens tree tunnel after 6 visits to Paris but it was! We went back three times to shoot various things because we loved it.⁣ ⁣ The building you see here is actually the end of the Louvre! The Louvre makes a U shape and this is the bottom end of one of the sides! ⁣ ⁣ We love how unique this angle looks because you can see the trees and the magical building and you don’t feel like you are in a large city. Instead, you could be in a castle far far away!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #louvre #fallfashion #fallcolors #thisisparis #parisgram #wonderlustparis #parismonamour #paris_bigcity #traversefrance #unlimitedparis ⁣ #loves_france #ongooglemaps #viewbugfeature #bbctravel #fodorsonthego #parisisalwaysagoodidea #iloveparis #hello_france #paris_focus_on #pariscityvision #topfrancephoto #visitlafrance #sheisnotlost #femmetravel #france_focus_on #iamtb #dametraveler #streetscape #blondesandcookies #travelingpost

More Freedom?

One of the biggest restrictions of sightseeing tours is that you don’t have the same kind of freedom you would have on your own. That’s part of the reason why some travelers don’t enjoy them, but they’re a good pick for everyone who needs a little bit of guidance.

Right Price

Guided tours can come with a high price tag, but every once in a while – it’s a price worth paying. If you’re not in the mood to plan everything on your own and feel a little bit lost in a new city, it doesn’t hurt to put aside a couple of extra bucks to fully enjoy your trip.
