JAMES DESPOT

•Not getting to see key sights due to inefficient planning

•Frustration from trying to see the complex city on your own

•Selecting the wrong attractions and activities

•Getting lost

• Waiting in Line on Vacation :

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

– Studies show that standing stationary for as little as 25% of the day results in back pain.

–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. Discover the tips and tricks insiders can tell you about the city you are visiting ( shops, restaurants, best places to visit, etc.)

•The right local expert has to be:

–A transportation expert

–One who knows where to go and where not to go

–Knows how to save you cash …but still keep you safe and efficient

3.Ensure weather doesn’t interfere with touring the city

4.Create the best experience – a “European-Style Tour”

5. Use Newspapers and local information

The travel websites review restaurants but they may not have any correlation with where the locals actually eat. Read local papers online to get the local impressions . It’s not easy but you can dig and find local recommendations by focusing on columns targeted at residents, not visitors. You'll get better information from local sources.



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. They should know the best things to see and do.

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 time by visiting busy sights at slower times and by avoiding traffic jams? What would it be worth to have someone make all your reservations for you and get you the ideal price for each thing? What if you had a team of specialists you could ask any question about Las Vegas or New York City ? 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 greater level of personal customer service.

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.

Look for a tour that has personable, knowledgeable tour guides. You want to see the city through the eyes of a local.

When is a tour not a tour?

Fear of getting lost is a common stressor when in a strange city. Some visitors will decide to take a “tour” thinking to get rid of the work and stress, only to find more frustration. Most tour companies are just transportation companies…leaving you on your own in a confusing ‘hop-on-hop-off’ transport system with little or no Direction. You are stuck juggling a map, train schedule, stack of brochures and website printouts.
