▶ Your Answer : Some people like to travel alone because they can do freely what they want. However, in my opinion, traveling with a guided group is the best way to enjoy travel. One reason is that guided tour pakages are relatively cheaper and more convenient than traveling alone to same place. And another reason is that people can get more broad and in-depth knowledge and information on the place they travel. To begin with, guided group travel is more economic and convenient to prepare and enjoy the travel compared to going alone. This is because most of travel agencies that provide guided group tour packages can organize cheaper tours due to their bargaining power. They usually buy large amount of flight seats and accomodations and this cause decrease in prices. Furthermore, as the courses for group tours are usually fixed and guided by professional guide, people don't have to spend a lot of time to prepare flights, hotels and travel route. This means people can enjoy comfortable travels more easily. I'd like to take my personal experience to make my point. Last year, I traveled to London with a guided tour group. It was my first group tour so I was somewhat worried about not being able to behavoir freely. However, during the trip, I realized that the guided group tour was more economical and convenient than travel alone. If I had gone alone, I would have spend more money and time to travel to same place. On top of that, people can learn more about the place they travel by joining the guided group tour. This is because guides of travel groups are usually professional and good at the travel places. The guides are usually good at the history, culture and life style of the places. Thus, they can provide travelers with broad and in-depth knowledge and information on the places. I'd like to take the same example, During the travel in London with the tour group, our guide was an university student who majored in local history and anthropology. Due to his elaborated explanation on history of London, life style and culture of Londoners, I could learn more about London than before. If I had traveled alone, I would not get such valuable information and knowledge about London. In this regard, I believe that joining the tour group guided by professional guide is the best way to enjoy the travel, for the reasons mentioned above.
