How We Flow: TAG Travel Styles
#FIELD.TRIP
#FIELD.TRIP trips are research trips where TAG-itas go and try and get a feel for a country they have not been to or need more time in. These are essentially scouting trips for possible new tours and we like calling them a #FIELD.TRIP.
These are not like other trips, we don’t have a full or concrete itinerary and everything is not figured out. In fact, we love not having everything figured out which allows for more spontaneity and discovery when we travel. It’s amazing all the happy accidents we have when we don’t plan 100% of our time in a new country.
One thing we build into our #FIELD.TRIP is ‘roam time’. This is the explorer’s opportunity to do things that interest them without the confines of a highly scheduled trip.
Our #FIELD.TRIP is a cheaper version of our other trips and will usually include a hotel, transportation within the country, some excursions, and roughly half of your food.
This style of trip is not for those who want a polished, highly scheduled 5-star experience
#FIRST.TIMER
#FIRST.TIMER trips are what you can expect on your first time to a new country or place. It’s a highlight reel of the best that country has to offer in 9 days or less. These style trips also lay the groundwork for getting to know the place and a love that will make you want to go back and explore more or join us for a #DEEP.DIVE trip.
The pace of a #FIRST.TIMER trip is quick-paced as we only have days to show you the best each city/region/area has to offer before we attack the next. This style of travel is better for those who are physically fit & love a fast-paced environment.
We tend not to have a lot of ‘roam time’ built into this style of trip and it is more highly scheduled than our other trips.
Our #FIRST.TIMER trips are fully loaded trips with hotels, excursions, most meals, and transportation included in the price.
This style of trip is not for those who want a slow-paced, relaxing holiday with lots of downtime.
#DEEP.DIVE
#DEEP.DIVE trips are our favorite style of trip as they allow us to go deeper into a single region of a country and stay longer in each place. These trips tend to be 8+ days and involve several nights in the same hotel, offering a relaxed schedule and, unique local experiences.
The pace of a #DEEP.DIVE trip is slower and more methodical. We build in lots of optional “roam time’ so you can explore your surroundings on your own.
Our #DEEP.DIVE trips are fully loaded trips with hotels, excursions, most meals, and transportation included in the price.
This style of trip is not for those who want to see everything on their first visit to a new place.
