Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

In today's newsletter I'll cover independent vacation packages, offered by many of our tour operators. These independent getaways are a terrific option for people who want to explore a destination without groups or guides but still take advantage of the group buying power of the tour operators.

Independent vacations include accommodations in one or more cities (in centrally located, quality hotels), transportation between cities and air tickets in some cases. Half-day sightseeing tours, public transportation passes and entry fees to attractions might be covered as well. Many independent trips also include the services of a local representative who can answer questions and give advice about what to see and do during your stay.

You'll enjoy the convenience of a prepackaged vacation, but you'll still have plenty of free time to spend each day as you like.
