YOUR OPTIONS
Inspired by travel magazines or Instagram posts, you plan your trip independently, enjoying great customization. This approach is perfect for solo backpackers seeking adventure, but for family or group travel, relying solely on influencers or glossy magazines may not be ideal due to potential rough edges.
Pros: Full control, cost-saving, personalized choices.
Cons: Time-consuming, potential mistakes, no expert advice.
Platforms like MakeMyTrip, Viator, or local players like PickYourTrails are tech-enabled aggregators that break down costs to create an illusion of control and low prices. However, when all costs are added up, you often end up paying more than a standard tour. Additionally, these options are not private and use shared resources, and any issues must be resolved through time-consuming call center interactions.
Pros: Convenience, user reviews, package deals.
Cons: Less flexibility, possible higher costs, limited customization.
