Joining a Tour
Darrel: What are you looking at?
Alice: Tours for our vacation. I was thinking that it’d be hard for us to get around on our own, so I think joining a tour is a good idea.
Darrel: Really? I thought we’d Make our way around Leisurely to see the Sites. I don’t like the fast Pace of tours. I’d rather have the time To take in each site, not Rush through it just to say I’ve been there.
Alice: Tours Come in all shapes and sizes. I’m sure we can find one that isn’t too fast-paced or Strenuous for you.
Darrel: And I don’t want to eat all my meals with the tour group. I want some time To explore on our own.
Alice: All right, I’m looking at a tour that has the perfect Itinerary. It’s also gotten Rave reviews. It includes a Tour guide, all Admission fees, Accommodations, Ground transportation, and most of the meals. And there are several free mornings and afternoons Built-in so we can explore on our own.
Darrel: I don’t know.
Alice: The Alternative is for you to plan each stop of our trip.
Darrel: A tour is sounding better and better.
