Individual travel

As a rule, package holidays are often cheaper than individual holidays, as they are offered as a complete package and tour operators receive discounts when booking large contingents.

Individual trips, on the other hand, can be more expensive as travellers book and customise their travel elements such as flights, accommodation and activities individually. However, the price also depends heavily on the specific destinations, travel times and individual requirements.

The main difference lies in the way the holiday is planned and carried out:

• Package holidays: With a package holiday, the complete travel experience is offered as a package. This package usually includes flights, transfers, accommodation and sometimes also catering and activities. Package holidays offer the advantage of simplicity and a fixed price, as everything is planned in advance.

• Individual holidays: With an individual trip, travellers plan their own trip together with Sprachcaffe and decide what their itinerary, length of stay, activities and accommodation should be. This enables a tailor-made travel experience that is specifically tailored to the traveller's personal interests and preferences.

Yes, there are various ways to reduce the price of your individual holiday. Travellers can:

1. Book early: Early bookings often offer discounts on flights and accommodation.

2. Stay flexible: Those with flexible travel dates and destinations can find better deals.

3. Compare: Compare prices for flights, accommodation and activities online and choose the best deals.

4. Book directly: Book accommodation and activities directly with providers to save on agency fees.

5. Plan frugally: Choose budget-friendly accommodation and activities that still offer great experiences.

6. Eat locally: Local restaurants are often cheaper and more authentic than tourist restaurants.

Through clever planning and price comparisons, travellers can reduce the cost of individual travel and still have a great experience.
