Package tours have the advantage that I may meet interesting people during the journey but they also may be boring or rude. If I choose to organise my holiday, I am not bound to a program, I can pick where to go. I can also have more free time if I travel alone. Besides touristy sights I can explore hidden treasures if I am alone.
