▶ Your Answer :Some
people say that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide
whereas other people claim that to travel by themselves without a tour guide is
better. Personally, I agree with the idea that traveling as a group that led by
a tour guide is the best way to travel. The argument of my view goes as
follows.
To
begin with, you can travel effectively when you do in a group with a tour
guide. That is because, firstly, your tour-schedule would be organized well by
the tour guide who has a long experience of guiding people. Secondly, your tour
guide would explain you about the places you visit such as related historical
events so the travel could be more interesting. Moreover, in many cases,
popular touristic places offer group tourists a discount entrance fee so you
could get cheaper tickets. For example, several years ago I traveled Paris as a
group with a tour guide. Even though it was my first overseas trip and I could
not speak French at all, I hardly had any trouble during traveling since my
tour guide dealt with everything for me such as making a tour plan and buying a
ticket. So, I could visit many places and enjoy traveling completely.
Also,
your safety can be assured when you travel in a group with a tour guide. Firstly,
your tour guide would know that where are safe places and where are dangerous
places for you to visit. Also, you would not get lost during traveling. Compare to that, when you travel alone, you
might get lost in a dangerous place and some bad people may approach you. For
instance, last year I went to San Francisco by myself for vacation. I thought
that everything would be good but one day I got mugged and the mugger stole my
wallet. Later, I figured out that the place my wallet was stolen was one of the
most dangerous places in San Francisco. If I had traveled with a tour guide, I
would not have visited there and by now I would have a great memory of
traveling to San Francisco.
Traveling
alone would have many advantages of course. However, I think that generally a
group tour with a tour guide would be much better. That is because, you can
travel effectively and your safety could be assured. |
