Your Day, The Lindsey Way: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Group Travel

✈️ Ever wonder what a day on one of our group trips really looks like? Whether you're a seasoned traveler or joining us for the first time, this peek behind the scenes will help you feel more prepared—and excited—for your adventure ahead!

From landing in a new country to exploring vibrant cities and sharing laughs over dinner, here’s what a typical day might look like when you travel with Lindsey Adventures.

Arrival Day - Airport

🌍 Arrival Day: You've Made It!

Welcome to your destination! After surviving the long flight and making your way through customs and baggage claim, take a deep breath—you’re here! You’ll be greeted by our Tour Manager and either George or me (or sometimes both!), ready to welcome you with a smile.

Once the group has gathered, we’ll hop on our comfortable coach and head to the hotel. If rooms aren’t quite ready yet, we’ll drop off our luggage and head out to stretch our legs and grab a light snack. Once checked in, we usually sneak in a short nap to help adjust to the time zone.

That evening, we host a welcome dinner—your chance to meet the rest of the group, connect with fellow travelers, and toast to the start of your adventure. Most of us call it an early night to get ahead of any jet lag!

So it begins....

🏙️ Anchor Days: Settle In and Explore

On anchor days, we stay in the same hotel and dive into the culture, history, and beauty of the area.

Each morning starts with a hearty breakfast buffet (yes, there's coffee!) before meeting in the hotel lobby to begin the day’s guided tour. Our local guides bring each destination to life with fascinating stories and hidden gems.

By lunchtime, you’ll have the option to continue touring or enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Want recommendations for shopping, museums, or that perfect gelato spot? We’re always here to help!

In the evening, you can dine on your own, find a few new friends to join you, or even ask George and me for suggestions—we love discovering great local restaurants and sharing meals with fellow adventurers.

Travel Days

🧳 Travel Days: On the Move

These are our “on the road” days, when we move to a new city or region. Don’t worry—everything is well-orchestrated and stress-free.

The night before, we’ll let you know when to have your luggage ready (usually early). The hotel staff takes care of moving bags to the coach, so you can focus on enjoying your breakfast and getting excited for what’s ahead.

As we travel, we’ll often stop for scenic photo ops, lunch, or a surprise detour (think charming villages or local markets). It’s all part of the fun—and the memories.

Dinners together

💌 Departure Day: Until Next Time

Our final evening includes a special farewell dinner, where we celebrate our time together and reflect on all we’ve experienced. It’s the perfect time to exchange contact info, snap group selfies, and make plans to keep in touch.

Departure morning comes early for some, but don’t worry—if the breakfast buffet isn’t open, most hotels will provide a grab-and-go snack to fuel your journey home. Your Tour Manager will ensure everyone knows when and where to meet for airport transfers.

Pro Tip: Use your flight home to scroll through your photos, jot down favorite moments, and relive the highlights of your adventure.

🏡 Home Days: A Gentle Landing

Coming home after an incredible trip can bring mixed emotions. Many travelers miss the ease of having everything taken care of—but that’s okay! Take time to rest, hydrate, and savor the memories.

You’ve just shared something special with a group of new friends, and those experiences will stay with you long after your suitcase is unpacked.
