Here are some tips for travelling as a group:

Look for group discounts:

Do your research on which company’s provide group discounts as this can sometimes mean significant savings on activities and transport when booked in advance as a group.

Consider renting an apartment or house than staying in a hotel:

If you are travelling as a group, try renting a house or an apartment. This means the group does not need to be split up or squashed in a small hotel room and can be more cost effective. This also means you will have access to a fully functional kitchen saving you money. What’s not to love when cooking amongst a group of friends (not to mention the money you save compared to going out.

Split up:

Travelling as a group does not mean you have to be together 24/7. Split up, take a breather and make the most of your holiday by doing what you want to do! Do not be dragged aroundart galleries when all you want to do is find the nearest beer tasting venue.

Download Travel Apps:

These days travel apps are plenty and take the hassle out of group travel. Using these apps means all travellers have the same access to itineraries, expenses, and photos. Furthermore, many of these apps are free and will save you heaps of hassle.

Remember the most important tip: Take travel insurance, with any travel things, can go wrong and travelling as a group will mean your travel plans can be affected if the unforeseen happens to someone in your travelling party.
