Expensive day tours
The problem Since group tours usually have fixed costs, many are priced according to the number of people on board – the more people, the cheaper they are. Some tours won’t go without a minimum number, and those that do often charge outrageous prices. Want a birding tour for one? That’ll be triple the usual price.
The solution This is a tough one, but I’ve faced it quite a few times and come out smiling. The best strategy is to find a company that has a tour going where you want to go, and ask to be added to the group. You might find one on the internet, or by asking around: the local tourist board may have suggestions, too
