Self guided tour VS travel agency, which is better to travel independently or with a tour group

First of all, I want to ask where you want to travel

If you sign up for a tour group, it is a little not free, but in all aspects of food, accommodation and travel, the travel agency is very good Of course, when you sign up, you must go to a large local well-known travel agency, and the ** of each line during the Chinese New Year is much more expensive than usual, mainly in the ** of housing and air tickets. And choose to travel during the Chinese New Year, there are many routes to choose carefully, such as Xiamen, if it is a double flight, Xiamen - Wuyi Mountain - Xiamen have to take the train hard sleeper, the New Year, but also the Spring Festival period, train tickets are not easy to buy, local travel agencies basically do not guarantee that tourists can sit on the air-conditioned tour bus.

If you are traveling independently, the travel agency will book a local hotel for you, but you will need to take care of the rest. If you are very familiar with the destination you are travelling to, you can also choose to travel independently. For example, every year, many tourists choose Hong Kong and South Korea for independent travel, this is because they have been there more than once and are quite familiar with the local area, so they choose to travel independently.

Also, if you and your friends are not satisfied with the itinerary provided by the travel agency, and there are some attractions that do not appeal to you, you can also choose to travel independently, but again, it requires you to be very familiar with the local situation. In fact, if you are not satisfied with the itinerary, you can also ask the travel agency to modify the itinerary according to your requirements, but this requires you and your friends to form an independent group, if there are more than 10 people, ** will not be too high, but if there are fewer people, the tour fee will be quite high.

During the Chinese New Year, it is very difficult to book a room and a car, such as Hainan, the room prices of those five-star hotels near Yalong Bay have reached 4000-7000 yuan during the Spring Festival, and some sea-view rooms are even higher. To sum up, I suggest that the landlord and your friends sign up for a group in a travel agency, if you want to take the group during the Spring Festival, you should sign up now, because during the Spring Festival, the airlines give each group a limited number of air tickets, and some routes are full in the week before the year. . . Haha: Hurry up and sign up.

Touring is generally suitable for those who do not have a complete plan with them, and when the travel cost is not very much. But it's really not very free, and it's all guided tours. The advantage of signing up for a group is to save worry, money, and safety.

As the name suggests, self-guided tours are to play on their own, which is more free, but the cost is relatively high. Self-guided tours are generally chosen by old donkeys.

If you are traveling for the first time, it is recommended that you choose to sign up for a tour.

Divide the place, it is best to go by car by yourself, or let you go with the group, the Spring Festival ticket is too difficult to buy. I generally travel by car, there is no home everywhere, everywhere at home, I can stop if I want, how chic, and I don't have fun playing with the group.

Self-guided tours are better. Probably envy Baby Anne, the chic of traveling around alone, or read the book "Go, Your Trip" revealed in Ah Sam's book, the comfort of stopping and stopping. Knowing and falling in love with a city is not something that can be brought to you by a tour group that has already given you a pre-set route and a predetermined time.

What is the meaning of travel. It is to relax yourself, to discover the beauty that others have not discovered, and to harvest your own unique beauty. Of course, a long journey and a strange city are also the most beautiful places that often occur in romance movies

It depends on how old you are and what you want to do.

It is easier to follow the group, as long as you pay the money, food, accommodation and transportation are arranged, there will be a car to pick up and drop off will not be very tired, and the team is cheap, and the air ticket and hotel are low. But you have to follow the tour guide, the attractions have less time to visit, and the individual tourists do not know each other, the fun is not fun, there may be shopping or something, the attractions are developed for a long time The regular route, may not be so good now.

Free travel is more suitable for travelers, as well as students and office workers. There is no time and place limit, just like you like a certain attraction, you can stay for a few more days, you can also find local food if you want to, you can chat with the locals to understand the customs, these are not possible with group tours. The most important thing is that you can choose your own accommodation and eating places, go out to play, and you can't miss the special houses and special food.

Especially in places with more food, group meals are all regular meals, and there is no guarantee that you will eat authentic food. However, independent travel is to do a lot of work by yourself in the early stage, such as postponing air tickets and hotels, arranging itineraries, etc., and it may not be as cheap as a travel agency. However, these problems can also be avoided, air tickets can be purchased several times in advance half a month in advance, and hotels also have the kind of discounts that can be booked in advance.

But in general, a little bit of trouble. If you have tickets, you can buy discounted tickets online, or ask the locals to buy them for you, and sometimes there are discounts.

As a student of budget travel, I compare prices and recommend self-guided tours, which are more rigid and feel less fresh. I have been to Xiamen with the group and have been to Xiamen independently, and I feel completely different, so I changed my free travel. Moreover, it is recommended to travel freely in places with more convenient transportation, and the bus in the province is not slower than the station wagon.
