This is really a personal choice. Normally for our small group of riders I do most of the planning, routes, places to stay and sight seeing destinations. However, for my wifes birthday I decided to do a guided tour of Southern AZ. I contacted the Twisted Trails company. They were also featured in American Iron mag. (good reviews). We decided on a 3 day 2 night tour through Tucson, Tombstone and Bisbee az. The tour package include some meals all lodging maps and entry to all sightseeing places. The owner of the company was very helpful and friendly. He said that his tours are planned to give the rider a different look and ride than the usual route. In other words, back roads, and unusual off the beaten path places. Unfortunately, we did not get to go on the tour. Due to weather and some cancellations they were forced to cancel the tour. Any monies paid were immediately refunded. But my point in all this, is yes you can do it yourself, it cost less that way but for a one time thing or for a special occasion I think it is worth it to do something special. Just my humble opinion. Anyone interested in tours in Southwest check out Twistedtrails.com.

I frequently travel with a group in which someone else does most of the planning. It's not a bad way to go. This is not a paid deal, just some friends, but one or two of the other guys do most of the planning. I do some research on the forum and other places and give my input, but somebody else is responsible for synthesizing everyone's input and planning the actual route. If you don't have a friend who can or will put a ride together, I guess I don't see anything wrong with paying someone to do it.
I have to agree with the comments on here, though, about the quality of the tour operator making all the difference.
