Choose to travel with a group, and pay attention to which points can reduce the chance of being cheated by travel agencies.

I will only tell you my personal experience the other day. Don't just look at the travel agency's quotation. Be sure to ask the marked self-funded items clearly.

I went to Guangxi Beihai and Guilin to play a few days ago. The travel agency's quotation is really low, but there are many self-funded items on the itinerary, so I seldom join the group, so I didn't ask clearly.

Arriving at Beihai first, the tour guide said that our trip was very old and boring. Now they have opened new tourism projects, that is, they have to charge extra for our trip, and then they have launched three new projects. Choose two out of three, and each person will pay another 330. Facts have proved that this is a loss.

After arriving in Guilin, as soon as I got off the train, the tour guide began to talk about the itinerary. These trips are all my own travel trips. At first, the tour fee only included cruise ships and visits to parks in Guilin. After the tour guide introduced the itinerary, he said that the self-funded item was a four plus one package. Let's pay. If we say no, the tour guide will say that we can only stay in the car or wait at the gate of the scenic spot. Otherwise, we can't go anywhere. For example, the tour guide told us that it was 150, but it was only a short paragraph. In fact, if we buy our own tickets, the whole journey from Guilin to Yangshuo is about 140, and the tour guide's quotation for Yulong River is also 150. If we buy our own tickets, we can cut it to 100 to 120, but we can't do it ourselves. All the tickets have no face value, and you never know how much the travel agency bought. In addition, there are photos taken on the cruise ship. If you want to take pictures, it's 15, and the boatman has a commission, and they will always advise you to take pictures.

After Yangshuo returned to Guilin, he just visited the park. In fact, he gave you money. Jingjiang Wang Fu finally lets you buy traditional rubbings or cards, and another park monk with a temple will let you burn incense. Suggest the lowest price 100 yuan, and a member of the same group will burn incense in 900 yuan. Another park is for you to buy tea and special products. In addition, Guangxi Tourism Bureau stipulates that you must enter two shopping stores every day, and the travel agency can take the head fee. The price of the shopping spot is at least two or three times that of the outside.

Let me give you some advice. If there are freelancers on the tour route, you must choose freelancers. It seems that the tour fee is relatively high, and it will cost a lot of money later. If there is no free travel, be sure to ask the details of the route and self-funded projects, and let them explain the consequences of not participating in self-funded projects, and whether there are shopping spots on the itinerary.

Don't believe such good things as the travel agency tells you. Compare the itinerary with the quotation. The one with the lowest quotation may cost you more money in the future.

Ask more friends, or send the itinerary for reference.

Be sure to know very clearly before reporting to the group.
