If you want to travel, do you usually join a group? Why?

There are advantages and disadvantages.

I am very tired with the tour group. I have to get up at almost 5 o'clock every day and spend most of the day in the tour group's car. There is too little time to visit scenic spots, and it is very limited. I can't take photos at will, and sometimes I can't even get a Pu Zhao button. The schedule is very tight, so we can only have a cursory look.

However, it is much more interesting to have a guide with you than to turn around by yourself. Many scenic spots can't see anything by themselves. Combining historical stories, it is fun and interesting.

If you visit a scenic spot, you don't need to join a tour group to see the scenery. If you look at cultural relics, it depends on the owner's own preferences. If you want to see it carefully, it's better to go by yourself, and the schedule can be relaxed. You can also eat more local snacks. The general meals of tour groups are terrible.

However, taking a tour bus will save you from running around, and it will be cheaper for a tour group to buy air tickets, and you will be more worry-free if the food and accommodation itinerary is arranged.

But I prefer to go shopping by myself, because joining a group is really tiring and time is tight. It would be better if you had friends in the local area.
