Tour the Stress Away with a Guided European Tour - with Jake Messimer

The demand for travel continues to increase, maybe even skyrocket, which poses an interesting question: are folks becoming more accustomed to planning and undertaking trips on their own, or are they becoming more comfortable turning to tour operators to help them out?My guest today is here to share his knowledge and experience as a tour operator on behalf of Grand European Travel, a Portland, OR-based tour company with clients from across the United States and beyond.As per the name, Grand European specializes in European travel, guided tour-style: they look after the planning, the logistics, the confusions and the headaches. Their objective is to give you a travel experience that focuses on the amazing sights, cultural immersion, and history and information, so that you don't have to worry about how to get from A to B, or what to do if your flight is delayed or your luggage is lost. They have a whole team of people to sort out those things for you.Jake addresses some of the stereotypes about group travel, particularly the notion that you're just whisked from one place to another, herded like cattle and caught up in crowds and gift shops. That kind of travel experience is certainly not what they're interested in, whether that means smaller groups, off-season travel, or simply more stops, more time and more flexibility.Tune into this fun conversation to learn more and maybe reconsider this mode of travel: for seniors in particular, it could be just what you're looking for!For more information and resources, visit:getours.comGrand European Travel on YouTubeon Instagramon Facebookor give them a call, toll-free: 1- 800-552- 5545---Reach out to the show by visiting our website,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weareoldpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and send me your thoughts and suggestions at [email protected].
