Is it better to travel abroad with a group or to help yourself? Why?

Team tours or free travel have their own advantages and disadvantages, but not all of them are suitable for everyone and themselves. First of all, from the perspective of "profit", the biggest advantage of traveling with a group is that tourists have peace of mind. All travel arrangements, including passports and visas, air tickets, accommodation, local transportation, and even major issues such as scenic spots and tickets, do not have to worry about themselves. If you pay the tour fee and someone else does it for you, you can follow the tour guide with your eyes closed, get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to take pictures, and then leave. The greatest advantage of free travel is freedom. You can control your own time, itinerary, scenic spot selection, diet, etc. You can watch whatever you want and watch it for as long as you want, and you don't have to worry about missing the bus or being looked down upon by the same tourists. Eat whatever you want, go back to the hotel early when you are tired, and sleep late the next day. Then, from the "disadvantage" point of view, relatively speaking, the advantage of team travel is the disadvantage of free travel, and the advantage of free travel is the disadvantage of team travel. For example, the disadvantage of joining a group is that you should always participate in group activities. Whether you like it or not, individuals obey the group and do everything according to other people's arrangements, including eating. Visiting the scenic spots with the group is basically a cursory tour, ugly and careful. If you take a photo here, you have to walk in, and it is impossible to appreciate it in depth and detail. For free travellers, it is inconvenient to arrange their own food, drink and sleep. Without the introduction of a tour guide, they have to learn about tourist destinations and scenic spots on their own. However, some people are willing to do these things by themselves, look at the map by themselves, make plans by themselves, and consult the information of scenic spots by themselves to get more fun. Then this is not a "disadvantage".
