The Best Travel Sites for Independent Travelers
Independent travelers are increasingly abandoning package tours in favor of other travel – individual: flexible, autonomous and economical.
The advantages of individual travel
If you speak at least basic English – the language of international communication – self-booking tickets, accommodation and services through online platforms can save you 20-30% compared to bookings from travel agencies.
But even without an excellent knowledge of a foreign language, you can contact guides - they will help you!
And most importantly, together with a guide, you can plan routes, and receive individually developed programs that correspond to their desires and requests.
From street guides in Bangkok to individual walks through the hidden streets of Rome, all the best itineraries and excursions are available online!
There are different platforms for online booking excursions:personalguideTripster, Sputnik8, Big Country and others.
Tourist Internet Aggregatorpersonalguide.ru("Personal Guide")
Tourist Internet Aggregatorpersonalguide.ru(“Personal Guide”) is a convenient and authoritative platform for ordering individual excursions, transfers, photographers, translators and even local accommodation. The site has been running for 17 years!
On the platform you can find unique author’s routes, affordable and safe travel is waiting for you – trips become simple and comfortable.
Why the platformpersonalguide.ru(“Personal Guide”) stands out from other resources?
Guides on the site "Personal guide" independently publish their proposals and organize flexible work with tourists.
Customers can ask any questions, plan routes together with the guide, indicate their interests and receive individually developed programs that fully correspond to their desires and requests.
On the platform, you can comfortably search for and order any related services - housing, services of photographers, translators, convenient transfer, accompanying excursions and other services that will help make your trip more convenient and rich.
For example, you write to a guide: “I want a wine tasting in Tuscany + sunset photos + dinner in a family restaurant” and get a route tailored to your rhythm, budget and interests.
- Not just excursions: Book a transfer from the airport, a local photographer, an interpreter for the day, rent a moped or accommodation from locals - all in one place.
- Direct dialogue: Communicate with your guide before booking. Ask the questions: "Do you speak Russian?", "Will we be comfortable there with the children?", "Can we have a picnic by the sea?" and get honest answers.
A real case.
Anna from Moscow, 35, travels around Vietnam. Through the “Personal Guide” I found a guide in Hoi An, who took her not through the standard “ancient city”, but through the family factory of lacquer painting, treated her to pho soup in the basement of the house, and in the evening showed the sunset from the balcony, where the locals drink coffee with coconut milk. The cost is $35. Review: "This is not a tour." This is an adventure I will never forget.”
