If you want to go on a relaxing holiday but also explore a little and do something exciting, then do some research to find out what excursions are on offer in and around the area you are going to be staying in? Your holiday rep will be able to advise you on some but if you know which ones you want to do before going, you can shop around for the best deal whilst there. You may be able to get a better deal by booking in advance, and if you do book directly with your tour operator you will often find you get a better level of service and will be able to get your money back should the trip be cancelled.
