Festivals & Special Events Tour Selection Trips
- Plan well in advance to attend top festivals since tours, lodgings and flights may fill quickly
- Be prepared to pay a bit more for everything around festival time
- If price hikes during top festivals stretch your budget, consider structuring a tour around lesser-known events
- Festivals are ideal times to arrange custom tours, whether on your own or with friends and family
- Keep in mind that festival days may not be the best times to do regular sightseeing, if that’s a priority
- Also consider your tolerance for crowds and noise before booking a festival tour
