How to negotiate with the travel agency when traveling?

I don't know where you are going to travel. If the price is reasonable, there is no need to collect information. I suggest you make it clear to the travel agency about your itinerary. If it is an independent group, it doesn't matter if the itinerary is special. The travel society arrived in time. After you get travel itinerary, you can look around and ask for quotations. By comparison, the price will naturally come down. But you must watch your itinerary, because the travel agency is likely to miss the scenic spots when quoting (the price of cableway with air conditioning and without air conditioning is different if you take a hard sleeper by train).

Generally, the first-hand quotation you get will be +200-300 (which is inevitable). I don't know which city you are in. Let me give you an example. Most of the provincial tourism centers on the provincial capital (because there is no airport in small cities). Almost all other cities are quoted by large tourist groups in provincial capitals (this is the first-hand price), and the first-hand price is also lucrative. You can quote directly from large tour groups, so the price will be lower ~

Looks like you asked the question anonymously. If you don't mind, you can provide your itinerary, days, accommodation standards and dining standards. Haha, let me practice my quotation and you will know what the lowest price is.
