Which is more expensive, self-help tour or group tour?

I visited the Three Gorges on May 1 this year. Let me calculate the specific expenses for self-help tour and group tour for you.

1, self-help tour 1

Take myself for example. As a poor student, I don't have much money. At the same time, I lack travel experience, so I choose self-help tour. I think I spend very little. Our school is in Huangshi and the Three Gorges is in Yichang. In order to save time and money, my classmates and I chose to take the night train, from 1 1 in the evening to 6: 30 in the morning in 69 yuan, and back in 69 yuan. We went to two scenic spots, one was the Three Gorges family, with ticket 150+ boat ticket 30, and bought a hat, 20 yuan. I spent a total of 105 yuan because I brought my student ID card. Because the scenic spot is far from the city, I have to take a bus for nearly an hour, and the round-trip fare is 30 yuan. The hotel is still cheap at night, because it catches up with the last day of the May Day holiday. The next day, I went to another scenic spot, the Three Gorges Waterfall. The round-trip air ticket was almost 14 yuan, and I bought snacks for 8 yuan. Scenic spot tickets 127 yuan, we bought a student ticket, 64 yuan alone. We also played several tourism projects in it, renting raincoats+15 yuan+buying small fish. Plus what we eat is almost 5+22+ 10+9+8=44 yuan. Total * * * Let's calculate that the total cost of tickets and admission tickets alone is 69+69+105+30+64+14 = 351yuan. Plus miscellaneous items, the total * * * cost is 69+69+20+105+45+30+14+8+64+54+44 = 522 yuan. If it is not the student price, it will be about 522+75+64=66 1 yuan.

2. Self-help tour 2

This second way of self-help travel is the way many families choose to travel-driving. According to our route just now, it is about 4 12 kilometers from Huangshi to Yichang, plus about 40 kilometers from Yichang city to the Three Gorges scenic spot, plus about 40 kilometers to drive to the Three Gorges Waterfall the next day, which is almost 500 kilometers in total. Plus the journey back, it is almost 1000 km. According to the average car, the cost of fuel plus the cost of speeding is about 60 kilometers. Plus the tickets for two scenic spots, the total cost is at least1000+180+127 =1307 yuan. This is obviously incomparable with my poor travel.

Step 3 travel with a group

Personally, I think traveling with a group should be much cheaper than go on road trip, but it is still a little more expensive than a poor student like me. I'll show you. According to the online price, a two-day tour from Huangshi to the Three Gorges Scenic Area, the Three Gorges Dam and Qu Yuan's hometown scenic area will probably cost 570 yuan, including all the road fares. To tell the truth, this scenic spot is richer than mine. If I were not a student, it would definitely be cheaper.

To sum up, I think the cost of self-help tour will be higher except for poor students like us.
