Will you choose to join a group tour when traveling?

The first time I traveled to Hong Kong, I went with a group. It's a super pit. After 6 o'clock in the morning, the wine began, and I was tired of traveling and didn't have enough time to rest. And there are at least three places to buy things a day, and the time to buy things is longer than the time to see scenic spots. And if you eat, one person can't finish those dishes. They are all green vegetables and tofu, and the meat is about the size of a stone. In short, the group is very pitted. What a tour guide recommended to you made you feel very valuable. It's just the first time I feel good, and everything I think of later is a lie. It ends at 4-5 o'clock every day, and the evening time is very wasted.

If you go by yourself, you can arrange your own itinerary, but you may need to waste some time doing the raiders yourself. The money is relatively more, but it is better than joining a group.

Let me answer this question. I will never join a tour group again. Because the profound lesson comes from a three-day trip to Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai in previous years. With the beautiful expectation of traveling to Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai, I boarded the train going south from Shenzhen Port, started traveling in a bad mood, exchanged high amounts of Hong Kong dollars, promoted inferior products, and forced consumption in the store (now I seem to see the fierce eyes of the tour guide again), which made the goodwill of tourism depressed. The three-day trip can be summarized as: getting up earlier than the chicken, traveling like a race, less scenic spots and more shopping. Dining is like grabbing food, food is scarce, the tour guide is pushing it hard, and the tour is still in into the pit.

With this profound lesson, I will focus on go on road trip or traveling independently in the future. Now that the tourism economy is relatively developed, you can make your own travel itinerary through online or regular travel agency consultation. When traveling by train or plane, you should make a good strategy in advance and make point-to-point arrangements throughout the journey. You will never join a low-priced group or a shopping group. Although the cost is a bit high, I am the person in charge of the trip. I arrange my trip so that my trip will be personalized and happy. Isn't this a better trip?

You don't choose to join a group when traveling.

Get up in the morning and join the group to give you a fixed time. No matter how tired you are the day before, you must meet at that time. Take a unified means of transportation, usually a bus. Fixed play time, every time you visit a scenic spot, the tour guide will tell you a set end time, and I won't wait for you after the time. Looking at the time from time to time while playing, I really feel very tired and ruin the feeling of traveling. It's like a market. After one, move on to the next. Traveling is to see different scenery, experience local characteristics, taste local food and relax, but seriously, for me, I really can't relax with a group. There is another kind that is particularly bad, (compulsory or semi-compulsory consumption, really, the tour guide starts to take you shopping half the time, and you can say nothing), which is really annoying.

Being able to go to road trip, but unable to travel freely, is now a very good choice. Stop and go, and slowly experience the picturesque rivers and mountains of the motherland. When you see your favorite scenery, you can enjoy the fun of traveling, taste the food and enjoy the happiness brought by the food. When you are tired of playing during the day, go back and enjoy the comfort brought by sleep. Why come out to relax, but also feel the bondage brought by the group? You don't like freedom. Although many strategies are to be done by yourself, they are also an exercise for yourself.

For me, traveling with a group does more harm than good, so I won't choose to travel with a group. (personal opinion)

When I go out to travel, I basically choose to travel with a group. One is peace of mind, the other is convenience, and the third is safety. But when choosing a travel agency, you must choose the right one, not cheap ones, not shopping groups, but leisure tour groups, so that you won't be very tired and you won't leave early in the morning. Travel itself is a happy thing, so I must have a good attitude.

The first time I traveled with a group, I felt really bad. Generally, tour groups gather at a fixed place in the morning, and the main means of transportation for group tours is the bus. In the next few days, they spent most of their time dealing with the bus, which is really a common problem in group travel: "get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to pee, and take pictures when you get to the scenic spot." Free time, every time you punch in, the scenic spots have time limits, and there is no free time at all. But for lazy friends, it is also a good choice to join a group tour. You don't have to plan your own itinerary and accommodation, just have fun and follow the big army.

If you are free, you can play as you like. Personally, you prefer freedom.

I am a person who loves traveling and freedom, so when I go out to travel, I have never considered traveling with a group. After most of China comes down, I always go alone, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Apart from my love of freedom, I may have some misunderstandings about traveling with a group, because I often hear the news about a tour group, and I feel that what I see when traveling with a group is all negative news, such as compulsory shopping, temporary change of travel routes, staying in low-cost hotels, etc., so I have great resistance to traveling with a group.

However, I actually traveled with a group once, once and only. I just want to experience what it's like to travel with a group. I just signed up for the tour with the mentality of experiencing it. At that time, it was an individual group of Hangzhou Daily, and the two-day tour of Hangzhou-Wuzhen-Hengdian Film and Television City was a pure tour group, including one night's accommodation.

The first day is to visit Hangzhou and Wuzhen. Because it is an individual group, there are 30 people in a car, mostly three or two people in a small team, and they don't know each other. Travel agencies usually tell us the itinerary when we sign up, including the time and attractions. Travel shuttle bus, accompanied by a professional tour guide. At the end of the day, I feel full and full. I have seen everything I need to see, and the male tour guide is also very good. Because it is a pure tour group, there is no shopping promotion, and the hotel at night is a chain, which is not bad.

The next day was Hengdian Film and Television City. When I signed up for the tour, I went to three classic parks arranged in the itinerary. The whole trip was good. The tour guide will arrange time, tell you which places are worth seeing and what performances are available. These suggestions are feasible and effective. The only unsatisfactory thing is that the female tour guide suggested that we'd better rent a bicycle in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it's expensive and not practical at all. It is inconvenient to ride a bike. It felt that her wrong suggestion was a waste of money.

Traveling with a group for the first time, I think it will be better for a family to join a group if they go out to travel, and it will be more convenient to worry about the itinerary, transportation and accommodation. Of course, it is best to sign up for a group tour, which is more expensive, but the experience is much better. Don't be greedy for cheap, report to a low-priced shopping group. Some unpleasant things may happen, which will greatly reduce the travel experience.

There is also going to some relatively large scenic spots, which are not very familiar. It would be much better to join a group. For example, Hengdian Studios. It's big. There are many districts. You don't know what's the point if you don't join the group. What time are there performances? And it is not easy to find traffic between two scenic spots.

However, as a senior travel enthusiast, I still like self-help travel. Before I travel freely, I will make a good strategy in advance. I like freedom, I like not being limited by time, I can see more places I like, I can speed up my pace in places I don't like, and I have absolute choice.

Different situations have different choices:

Choose a tour group

1, holidays, tickets, air tickets, accommodation, etc. It's all difficult to solve, you will think of tour groups, worry!

Traveling abroad, passports in some countries are more difficult, and it is easier to join a group. Language barrier, there is an interpreter in the tour group, which is more worry-free. Being in a foreign country, following the tour group and taking care of each other are safer and more secure.

3. Remote scenic spots. Traffic in some scenic spots is underdeveloped. The road during the journey is rugged and easy to drive fatigue. There are too many trains, high-speed trains and planes to transfer, which is inconvenient. You will consider joining a tour group to save travel time.

Don't choose a tour group

1, there are relatives and friends in the place where you go, and you can have some fun after you go.

2. Go to big cities in China, with convenient transportation, perfect local infrastructure and good public security.

3. Traveling in the off-season, there is no crowding, which is convenient for booking air tickets and hotels.

4. For family travel, choose road trip mode. During the journey, many drivers can change cars, which is safe and convenient, and it is also convenient to take care of the children and the elderly at home.

5, to the unpopular scenic spot, the tour group may have fewer groups to open this scenic spot, so they should travel together.

Yes But it's just a day trip to the local area. I travel alone. When the towns of some scenic spots are far away and the traffic is inconvenient (there are several trains to change back and forth, the waiting time is uncertain and so on). ), I will choose a local day trip. Generally, go to the travel website first to see the ticket prices of the scenic spots you want to go to, estimate the approximate transportation costs (according to the most estimated), and add them together. Then go to the travel website to see the cost of a one-day tour of the scenic spots. If the price of a one-day tour is lower than or equal to the estimated price, sell it directly. If it is higher than the estimated price, read comments and itinerary planning to see if you will go shopping and sell products. I calculated that I booked six or seven local one-day tours, and the service was quite good without stepping on the thunder. As long as you are willing to take the time to make comparison and reference, you are not greedy for petty gain and cheap, and you will basically not step on thunder (unpleasant experiences such as going shopping or hard selling).

Contemporary people have a fast pace of life and are tired of work. During leisure holidays, they want to travel and relax themselves. So which is better, group tour or self-help tour? Let DuDu share it with you.

Join this group well.

Travel expenses include round-trip fare, basic tickets and accommodation. In fact, the travel agency is equivalent to organizing everyone to buy things together. If the price is spread out, everyone's consumption will definitely save a lot.

Because travel agencies are engaged in this industry all the year round, customers don't need other concerns about route arrangement. Just follow the group. Everything is arranged.

Travel agencies, like third-party payment, are a responsible platform. You can respond to all the problems encountered during the trip, and even claim compensation for any loss. In short, personal safety can be guaranteed.

With a tour guide, you can learn more about the scenic spots.

Some may go shopping, but the price is absolutely cheap. Some people can accept it without affecting the sightseeing of scenic spots.

It's not good to join the league

Beautiful scenic spots always make people linger. If you want to see it again, you still have to join the group.

Time is like clockwork, when to gather, when to go back to the hotel, when and what time, I feel no freedom.

Because the directions of the scenic spots you want to visit are different, it is impossible for a group to swim all the scenic spots you like, so it is more troublesome to join two groups.

There is no freedom to travel by yourself.

Self-help tour is good

Self-help tours can make their own routes, and you can string together your favorite attractions and visit them one by one without any regrets.

The time for the self-help tour to stay at the scenic spot is up to you. You can stay in your favorite scenic spots for a while, or even come back the next day to experience that wonderful feeling.

Self-help tour can decide the return time at any time and arrange it at will.

Self-help tour is not good.

Depending on the price of the air ticket before departure, it is very troublesome to ask about the place to stay (price, geographical location, distance from the destination, etc.). ).

You should inquire about the route yourself and be familiar with it; Unfamiliar routes should be checked first, and you can also navigate.

Prices are high, such as gas and accommodation.

It's not as cheap as joining a group.

The above is DuDu sharing, like to pay attention!

When traveling abroad, I will have a standard parameter for choosing and joining a group:

1) If the mileage exceeds 1000 km, the group will be filtered out.

2) The scenic spots are scattered, such as Yunnan, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna and Shangri-La, and the distance between the scenic spots is more than one day's traffic trip.

3) I will choose to join tour groups, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Xinjiang and Taiwan Province.

4) When one or more people are few, they will choose to travel with a group.

The above is an important reference for me to travel with a group for many years. I don't consider short-distance (about 300-/km) group tours around China. 500/ 1000 km will be considered for a package tour with high cost performance, and you have been there by yourself or by car, after 3 18, 3 17, 109, Xinjiang, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Shandong.
