  • Take the time to research your destination thoroughly, including its culture, customs, and local attractions, to help you make informed decisions about your personalized trip.

  • While customization offers the freedom to design your ideal trip, be open to adjustments and changes along the way to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or unexpected opportunities.
