Understanding Trafalgar Tours See View Visit And Optional Excursions
Trafalgar Tours: See, View, Visit and Why Not.
By: Trafalgar Tour Director Michael DrewellHaving worked for Trafalgar Tours as a Tour Director for over 24 years and being the owner of www.AffordableCruisesTours.com which is an on line discount travel agency I wanted to talk about their Traditional Europe tour today. Visit Affordable Cruises Tours and we will start you off with a 10% discount off this tour.One of the secrets to knowing what is included in your Trafalgar Tour is the understanding of the terms see, view, visit and Why Not. I have worked as a European Tour Director for over two decades and its my experience that the clear understanding of these key terms is paramount in passengers overall satisfaction during their vacation. Lets face it, a travel brochure is a sales tool and designed to entice you to book. There are certainly times when travel companies take liberties with the wording in order to get you to purchase their product. Having said that if you know how to interpret the copy on a brochure page you will never be surprised or disappointed.Too often people come away after looking at a brochure expecting much more than they are going to get because no one took the time to explain the difference between these all important items. So that is the aim of this article and video. Please note that see and view are sometimes interchangeable as I will try to explain below.For the purposes of illustrating see, view, visit and Why Not in interpreting brochure copy I will use one of Trafalgars popular Italian itineraries the Best of Italy. This is a 14 day tour of the Italian peninsular and one of Trafalgars best tours especially for people who have never been to Italy before. If you have a Trafalgar brochure you might like to open it up at this tour page or if you are on the Affordable Cruises Tours site please click this link and open the tour details in another tab. Then you can reference the items I will be talking about as we go. Trafalgar Tours Best of Italy.VisitVisit is the key with see and view secondary. In the first line of the copy they talk about with our local guide is a visit to the Sistine Chapel this means there will be a visit and by association if there are any entrance fees these would be paid by Trafalgar. The copy goes on to talk about a visit to the Colosseum and again any entrances would be paid for you and you would be accompanied by a local guide who will be explaining the visit to you.See & ViewAs mentioned above these two items are often interchangeable and sometimes expressed in the day to day copy using similar words. For example the Day 3 of the Best of Italy the copy goes on to say to overlook the Forum and the Circus Maximus Here the word Overlook takes the place of See or View and to check this look at Rome: in the Sightseeing Highlights and you would find Views of the Forum and Circus MaximusAs there is so much to see in Rome most tour directors and local guides would drive by these but is time permitted like it did on a recent tour I did we stopped at a high point above Circus Maximus and got out of the coach for photos over this ancient arena. Either way this would still fall under the category of See or View.Why Not, Perhaps, Maybe and Similar WordsThe Day 3 copy ends with this evening why not discover the cities culinary delights. This is where many people read too much into the brochure and are sometimes disappointed when expectations are not met. With nothing else in the Sightseeing Highlights after the visit to the Colosseum you would consider that Trafalgars obligations for the day are concluded. Anything after this would be either at your leisure or there would be an Optional Excursion offered.Please visit our Trafalgar Tours FAQs page for an article and video about Optional Excursions.Affordable Cruises Tours are experts on Trafalgar Tours and have over two decades experience with them.
