Planning everything on your own will save you quite some money but I would suggest you to choose an agent provided this is your first international trip. Do not opt for readymade travel packages. choose an agency that will help you customize their package according to your need and curate your perfect package. Not all places in the typical Bali package are worthy of visiting. so do some research, pick all the places you want to visit and then get your package customized.
Hi , I prepared my own itinerary with expenses, stays and everything. Then I picked up a travel agent and got my package customized. Off course there was a difference in costing, but not that much. So we go ahead with the travel agency customized by me.
Hello. If you take a package then the organizer would organise and schedule everything for you and you would be able to explore more places. But some organized tours could be hectic,too.
