▶ Your Answer : Some people think that a free tour is the best way to travel because it is more flexible and they can do what they want to do. However, in my opinion, traveling with a guided tour group is the best way to travel for the following reasons. We don’t need to prepare any specific schedule for the trip and it is much safer than the free tour. To begin with, a guided group tour is traveling with schedules. We don’t need to worry about what to eat, how to go, where to see. The guide will bring us to the famous landmark. The only thing we have to do is just being punctual and following the well-prepared schedule. Suppose that we are planning to go free independent traveling. We should prepare some schedules such as reservation a hotel, rent a car, airplane ticketing etc. These are somewhat easy to prepare. But when we busy or we don’t know about anything and how to do that, preparing travel will be a hard job. On top of that, in most cases, a guided group tour is much safer than a free tour. This is because group tour has safety regulation and tour guided is trained for the customer’s safety. The places that we go are may not familiar to us and think about that we are in trouble at unfamiliar places or situations. We don’t know how to do it. However, if we have a tour guide, he may be a great help for us. Also, a guided group tour has traveler insurance so we can get payback to some extent. For example, my uncle has traveled to New York with a free independent tour. His condition was very good for 3 days but he has broken his arm accidentally when he was taking a shower. He didn’t have any plan to do for this situation, so unlucky he was forced to return to his home for his arm surgery. Also, he didn’t get any refund for the rest of his reservation because it is too late for cancel and didn’t have any traveler insurances. In conclusion, Traveling with a guide has several advantages over a free tour such as safety, no need to prepare specific schedule and planning. In this regard, I strongly believe that the best way to trip is traveling with a guided group tour. |
