Is it okay to travel with a tour group?

I would choose to travel with a tour group because I am an office worker and do not have much time to plan in advance. What I pursue more is a worry-free trip.

There are many benefits of traveling in a group. First, you can save money. Tour groups can buy cheap air tickets and book cost-effective hotels. The second is safety. After all, everyone is in the same car, so there is still a sense of security.

At the same time, it will be more secure to have a tour guide with you throughout the journey. If you book a regular travel agency, the quality of the tour guides will generally be relatively high. They will not force you to buy this or that. Moreover, when they take a group out, the tip will be mentioned in advance when paying.

When traveling in a group, we don’t have to worry about transportation problems. We usually eat as a group meal. We can’t take care of ourselves well. Of course, we can’t live in a place that is as arbitrary as we want. Cleanliness is definitely guaranteed.

The most important thing is the attractions to visit. The attractions that you usually visit in a group are the regular itineraries, which are similar to the most prominent attractions in a destination. For example, when going to Yunnan, you must visit Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang. If you go to Beijing, you must visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc. Another option is that some of the scenic spots visited by group tours are free of charge, such as the five cities in East China.

Shopping is actually the biggest concern for many people traveling in groups. It is perfectly fine to buy local specialties. Of course, under the current big tourism environment, shopping has gradually moved towards free and voluntary buying and selling. In terms of entertainment, group tours are mainly about folk performances in various tourist destinations. They are basically the same whether you are domestic or outbound, such as domestic impression series, eternal love series, etc. Sign up with a tour guide, and the tour guide will definitely have some. Of course, he won’t earn a lot. This is a recognition of his work attitude, and it will also allow him to provide better follow-up services. Why not do it.

Finally, the biggest difference between group tours and free travel is the tour guide’s explanation and service. When traveling to a strange place, there are two ways for tourists to obtain local information. One is to listen to the local tour guide. Sorry to explain, the second is to spend some money on local consumption, such as staying in a B&B, and learning from the locals while eating local snacks. Of course, it is not as interesting as the tour guide's explanation.

So for me, I will try my best to choose a group tour with a reasonable price.
