With a wanderlust to rival previous generations, millennials, zillennials, under 30s – whatever you want to call them, know how to travel. If you were to point to a map, chances are they have visited quite a few places in their limited decades on earth.
And if you fall into this category – world at your feet, bags packed for adventure kind of person – then you have probably considered how to see every corner of the globe in the most convenient way possible.
Enter, coach tours. Easy, safe, and going everywhere imaginable, coach tours are not just what seniors use to get around. They are perfect for younger generations to see the sights without the hassle of organising every single minor detail.
Benefits of taking a coach day tour
On paper, a coach tour sounds a bit like this:
- Pay a company to plan your itinerary for the day
- Show up on time to the meeting spot
- Be whisked around your chosen locations in a safe and trusted manner
And in reality, it is just that.
Companies such as Golden Tours have been providing that exact service for decades and have earned a great reputation for doing so. So, why should the under-30s join such a movement? Well, for the many reasons we are about to list below.
It’s a convenient way to see the UK
Whether you are a solo traveller or enjoy holidaying with your best gal pals or mates, a coach tour will save you the hassle of having to organise the nitty gritty parts of sightseeing – as well as the big parts. You don’t have to worry about who is going to drive, whether the AUX cord is properly working, or if you filled up the petrol tank. Instead, you can relax in comfort and be transported to your chosen destination by a qualified driver.
And, because you and your party are not navigating the roads yourself, you will have more time to stare out the window and enjoy the sights. This is a little hard to do when you are focused on road rules and your passenger seat DJ is checking whether the car wants 90s hits or the latest Ariana Grande album.
You get an informative and helpful guide
Offering you knowledge and facts that you typically cannot find on your own, having a guide on board your coach tour is an excellent perk. Not only will they provide information about the locations you are visiting history-wise, but they can also offer tips on where to eat, what to drink, and activities you can do if you have free time. Anything that will make your day tour better.
It’s a safe environment
Safety in numbers, right? With a coach tour, you can travel with ease knowing that you are with a group of people who are going exactly where you are and a tour guide who knows who should and shouldn’t be on the bus. Moving as a group offers peace of mind and ensures no one gets left behind. Plus, having a certified, trained and well-travelled driver means you can feel safe as you move from point A to point B.
And speaking of environment, using a coach tour as opposed to driving small groups around the UK is significantly better for nature. You can help reduce carbon emissions by choosing to travel with a larger group at once and do your bit for the world while going out and seeing it!
You can meet new people
What makes a great day even better? The people you share it with of course! Taking a coach tour as someone under 30 is the perfect way to connect with new people who share similar interests – you are both going to see the same iconic locations after all – or meet a diverse group of people from all around the UK or globe.
Getting to experience a coach tour with others can help forge new friendships and open you up to new possibilities and experiences. This is something you miss out on when you are travelling alone in your car.
