Are private tour guides worth it?
Travels with Audrey offers guided tours to provide a comprehensive understanding of a destination, including its history, culture, quirks, and traditions. Local expert guides, also known as “local insiders”, are essential for small group tours and custom tours. They have earned licenses that grant them special privileges and valuable access, such as access to museums, palaces, and special venues.
Private tour guides are also beneficial for travelers who prefer to explore a location independently. They offer a unique perspective and connection to the local culture, allowing them to provide fresh and unique insights about a location. Private guides meet clients in hotel lobby, know the city and monuments inside out, and can respond to requests for unscheduled stops. They can point out landmarks and suggest places to visit at your leisure.
As a private tour, you can dictate the focus and pace, ask questions, and even stop for impromptu drinks or tapas. Local guides can easily obtain tickets on the spot for almost all attractions without waiting in line. This allows you to fully appreciate the cultural heritage and diversity of a destination.

📹 The RIGHT Way to Plan a Disney World Vacation
SPOILER ALERT! There’s more than ONE WAY to plan a Disney World vacation. So how can you make sure YOU plan the BEST …
One of the best aspects of not doing everything you planned to do… planning another Disney vacation! I know, I know it’s expensive but there are a lot of solid discounts available if you book another vacation while currently on vacation at Disney properties. Plus it gives you and your kiddos something to look forward to the following year. Of course, I’m a DVC member who is a solo traveler so take my advice with a grain of sand and salt. Excellent advice all around, DFB! Keep up the great work!
We are planning a trip next year with our 4 grandchildren and my Mom. I’m doing this for her cause her dream is to go to Disney with her great grandchildren. I plan to ask the children what their must do’s are and planning rest days. Hopefully this won’t be a disaster! I watch all your articles so I think I’m prepared!
When we were kids my mom would line us up each morning against the wall of our hotel room and take a picture of us and what we were wearing that day in case we got lost at the parks. It came in very handy when we got separated from my two younger sisters in Disneyland for a couple hours on trip. Very scary but all the cast members knew what they looked like and what they were wearing!
I’m going in 4 weeks with my husband and two kids . I can’t wait for our trip. I can wait for the heat.Our son who is older, does his own thing everyday and may go to a different park than us and our daughter. He goes to Hollywood Studios, we go to Animal kingdom or Epcot. In the evening, then we meet up for dinner.This has worked out well for us.We go back for a few hours on magic kingdom days to the hotel to swim and take a break from the heat.
My next trip to Disney World will be my first since 2002. I’ll hopefully have a friend with me, but if not, then I’ll be solo for it. Trying to plan for a full week if I’m solo or not. I really like to take my time and not rush through things. Even if it means taking a day at the resort or at Disney Springs.
When I first started working my first full time job and finally got vacation, I took my grandma to Disney World. (My sister was living in Mexico and most of my friends didn’t have any vacation time yet.) I was a travel agent, so I got some free airline tickets. It was in the late 80’s and was one of my favorite vacations ever. My Grandma had only been to other states to visit relatives, she had never been on a vacation. Since we went in early December, the weather was great and the crowds were low. I did ride a few thrill rides, but mostly didn’t go on them. We stayed on Disney property since I was too young to rent a car and took the bus everywhere. It was fun perusal her do and see things she never had before. I’m a Wedway People mover fan too. I took her on it and the cast member let her stay on while I went to ride Space Mountain. Now, many years later, my sister and I are thinking of taking our mom during the Christmas holidays to celebrate her 80th birthday. (That’s why I’m perusal your articles. I haven’t been there since 1999, so things have changed a lot since then.)
Could you or did you ever do a article on how to solo a trip to Disney? I am planning on a solo trip either next year or 2026. For about five days, the main specific reason being, I want to experience the not so scary Halloween party. Thinking about going in Sept. just after Labor day. Would really Love to stay on DW property. Any and all tips on how to do this? would be very gratefully appreciated
I am DVC, do rope drop to fireworks every park day. Next trip is going to be my 25th anniversary and St. Patrick’s day weekend. I have had meals planned since this past trip on easter week. We do utilize the dining plan most trips. My park favorites have migrated in my age to EPCOT and AK but I do love my coasters. We were going to stay at Beach club buy since the pool will be under construction we going to out base Boardwalk.
Going in January with my wife, 8yo and 6yo. Staying at the French Quarter. Splurged a little due to those GFree beignets. Will be our second trip to WDW with the kids. Definitely recommend Art of Animation. We staid there with 5 and 3 yo and the extra room and bathroom helped a lot. Great article DFB, keep them coming!
In the intial planning stages now but planning on taking my mother, who will be 81 next year, to her very first Disney vacation. Even though we been to Disney many times, taking my mother does seem a bir daunting, have not been on a vacation with her since i was a kid, like 40 years now. I know you mentioned a bit in this article but any possibility of doing a separate article going into more detail? Just would like to hear from you and your staff experience about this. 😊
I’m heading with my three younger siblings! We leave in 33 days! ^^ My siblings are 24 almost 25, 18 almost 19, and I have a 17 year old who will literally be turning 18 in less than a month from our trip! It’s gonna be way different from any other disney trip we’ve been on together since we’ve all only been with our parents (aside from me who went on my honeymoon) and the last time we all went together I think my little sisters were around 10 and my brother was like 16!
My mom took me when I was 7, and I would love dearly to take my son when he is 7 (so in five years), along with my mom as well. When we went, in 1990, it was still MGM, and it wasn’t my fave (we actually went back to another park!). We also did SeaWorld, Universal, and Busch Gardens (and Wet n Wild). I would love something similar, even if it meant changing hotels. I realize now that my mom did that trip as much for herself as for me, she planned as much as she could at that time, she followed a schedule, and she was on time. I have only good memories of that trip with my mom, and I would love to repay that to her, and take my kiddo too. I would definitely say “no roller coasters”, because although my mom loves them, I don’t (and yet I went to every single one). That would take care of removing a lot of rides in my trip. But there is still so much to experience and see! I watch your articles and others, and I definitely would love to do stuff I didn’t get to do back then!
If I could just add something about Art of Animation and other resorts with giant character figures – when i was a kid (and even now, as a senior citizen) i was very scared of larger-than-life things. If there had been a hotel like this and my parents had taken me, i would have been a ball of panic. I’d advise parents to make sure that their kids are okay with giant figures before booking one of these resorts.
