Once you hit the road with us you become part of Trafalgar\u2019s loyalty program of \u201cVery Important Travellers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could write a novel on why we love our VIT guests so much, but we\u2019ve condensed it to the seven main reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-they-love-our-travel-directors-as-much-as-we-do\">1. They love our Travel Directors as much as we do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We absolutely adore our Travel Directors. These incredible tour leaders live and breathe what we do, look after our amazing guests and take so much pride and joy in showing off their favourite corners of the world on tour. Unsurprisingly, our VIT guests love our Travel Directors as much as we do. Some \u2018Very Important Travellers\u2019 of Trafalgar become such good friends with their Travel Directors that long after the tour finishes they keep in touch and mail Christmas cards years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Very Important Travellers Trafalgar know that our Travel Directors are important\" class=\"wp-image-21461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/florence-italy-travel-director-1.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATE<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>D CONTENT: <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/our-travel-directors-favourite-spots\/\"><strong><em>Our Travel Directors\u2019 Favourite Spots<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-they-know-that-travelling-by-coach-is-the-best-way-to-go\">2. They know that travelling by coach is the best way to go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of advantages to travel by coach \u2013 and out VIT guests know it. Coach travel is safe, super comfortable and really convenient. Travelling point-to-point in air-conditioned comfort (with spongy seats and wi-fi) is hard to beat. Plus, did you know it\u2019s one of the greenest ways to explore the world? Yes, guided tours by coach have a lower carbon footprint per person compared to travelling solo by car or by train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/10\/Untitled-design-2020-10-13T142809.729-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Trafalgar coach in front of Sydney Harbour Bridge\" class=\"wp-image-23897\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/car-coach-reduce-co2-emissions-travelling-trafalgar\/\">Car vs coach \u2013 you can reduce CO2 emissions by travelling with Trafalgar<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-they-get-that-with-trafalgar-you-re-totally-taken-care-of-every-step-of-the-way\">3.

Our loyal VITs know that when you travel with Trafalgar every step of the way is totally taken care of. Once you join the tour you can just sit back in that comfortable coach seat, relax and prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. There&#8217;s no need to stress about logistics and planning, just lean into the storytelling and fun from your Travel Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-their-loyalty-to-trafalgar-never-ceases-to-amaze-us\">4. Their loyalty to Trafalgar never ceases to amaze us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re really proud to be the world\u2019s most loved and awarded guided touring company, but what keeps us going is knowing that so many of our guests choose to travel with us again and again. Some of our amazing VITs are so loyal they travel with Trafalgar every single year. Some have travelled with us a dozen times, others have taken four back-to-back tours. Trafalgar\u2019s loyalty program actually has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/deals\/loyalty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second tier called VIT Plus<\/a>. It gives anyone who has travelled with us four times or more added benefits like 5 percent off any tour, any time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/10\/Untitled-design-2020-10-13T151704.849-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Beatrice Be My Guest host smiling from doorway\" class=\"wp-image-23905\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-they-understand-the-benefits-of-guided-travel\">5.

We love our VIT guests as they understand how it goes on tour. VIT guests know they will really get to know a destination through storytelling and city tours with local specialists. VIT guests know that they will make friends on tour whether they travel solo, with their partner or in a group. Stress-free, safe guided travel and a five-star experience is why our \u2018Very Important Travellers&#8217; return to Trafalgar again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/why-guests-choose-guided-tours\/\"><em><strong>In their own words, why our guests choose guided tours over independent travel<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-they-get-just-as-excited-for-our-be-my-guest-experiences-as-we-do-as-they-know-they-ll-be-amazing\">6.
