Sight seeing holidays can be enjoyed by all the family and can be tailored to your specific interests. If you truly want to explore a new area then you could look at booking a tailor made sightseeing holiday trip. Many popular destinations offer this as a package and allow you to pick a number of local attractions or points of interest to visit during your stay.
If you have an interest in history for example, then you can pick a holiday that is based around a historical location. If your thing is more wildlife, then a safari holiday package will be perfect for you. Although many holiday resorts will offer day trips to places of interest which you can book when you are there, you can usually save money on booking a number of activities in advance through your tour operator at the time of booking the holiday or through a third party before you go.
Often you will find people selling these types of trips on the street local to your resort. These are usually advertised at a lot cheaper rate than booking through your tour operator. Often the trip is identical but you need to be careful as there are some that are scams or even if they are genuine, if there is a problem you may find it harder to get a refund or to move the date of your trip.
