I recently booked a budget-friendly package through Intrepid Travel, and they offer some great off-the-beaten-path options. Their itineraries are well-curated and focus on authentic experiences. Another good site to check out is G Adventures; they have a strong reputation for small group travel. When choosing a package, look for customer reviews and see what's included, like meals and transfers, to really assess the value. It's also worth subscribing to newsletters from travel deal sites like Scott’s Cheap Flights for additional discounts.
