5 Reasons to do a self-guided tour

Hi, traveller!

Today I want to tell you why doing a self-guided trip around Europe is an amazing experience.

There's nothing better than the freedom to go at your own pace, discover unique places and soak up the local culture without a schedule or rush. Here are 5 reasons why you should plan your next adventure in Europe without guides or fixed itineraries.

1. Travel at your own pace

With a self-guided tour, you have the freedom to go at your own pace, without worrying about schedules or groups. You can stop wherever you feel like it, stay as long as you want in each place and enjoy the experience in your own way. If you find a place you love, great! You stay and enjoy it. Sit down for a drink and relax in the café at the square in a small village. It's your trip, so there's no rush and no stress. Let yourself go and explore what really interests you. 

2. Discover unique places

Discover everything on your own. You can get lost in lesser-known streets, or find those unique places that don't appear in the guidebooks. This type of travel allows you to live authentic experiences, meet locals and get to know the culture in a much closer way. Every step you take is a new surprise!

3. Save time

Let the experts design an itinerary and recommend you the best places and routes, and avoid wasting time searching for information and organizing the accommodations. This saves you a lot of time in planning and ensures to take the most of a trip, and just focus on enjoying.

4. Get a taste of the local culture

Experience the local live and talk to people to be in touch with the local culture. Without the schedule of a guided tour, you can go at your own pace, chat with the locals, learn about their customs and listen to their stories. From tasting homemade food in neighbourhood bars to joining village festivals, you'll experience the culture in a much more authentic way. Ultimately, these moments will give you an up close and personal view of the destination, making your trip unforgettable.

5. Grow personally

Travelling on your own is a great opportunity to grow as a person, especially by connecting with nature and facing unexpected events. By exploring new landscapes and getting lost in unfamiliar places, you not only discover amazing places, but you also learn to solve problems on your own.

From finding your way to handling those unexpected changes that may arise, every little challenge helps you improve your skills and gain more confidence. Each time you overcome an obstacle, you become a more confident traveller, ready for whatever comes next.

And If you encounter a situation you don’t know how to resolve, you can always contact your agent, who will try to solve it as quickly as possible!

I have a diploma in Film Cinematography and a master's degree in conceptual and artistic photography. I have spent many years in the world of film and television in Madrid, and I have lived for a short period of time in London and Norway. My life is always turning around, I'm a bit restless, and in one of those turns, I came back to my village, Arenas de Cabrales. Since then, with great enthusiasm, I collaborate as Copywriter and Marketing Assistant for S-Cape Travel. I have always been surrounded by nature and mountains, growing up in the incredible Picos de Europa. That environment is still my greatest pride, and I show it off wherever I go.
