题目：Do you agree or disagree with this statement: The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide.

Travelling has become an indispensable part in modern people’s life because of its significant function to relax and release pressure brought by the fast tempo of modern life. And there exist two different ways to travel. Some people especially the youngsters prefer to travel by their own, for they can choose the destination, arrange their schedule freely. As far as I am concerned, I will choose to travel joining in a group led by a tour guide, considering that it is much more convenient and professional. What’s more, current travel agents also give customers some individual choices. As discussed below.

To begin with, it is a convenient and economical choice when travel following tour guide. As we know there are numerous stuffs to be arranged before a travel, for example booking transport tickets and hotels, checking the local tour line, so much time will be taken that we rarely have any time to appreciate our destination. And these stuffs can be handled to travel agents when we join in a tour guide, which supply chain-service, including hotel reservation, tickets reservation and restaurant reservation. This service can save us a lot of time and make our tour convenient. Getting rid of these annoying things, we can better enjoy our previous travel. What’s important, the travel agents have cooperation with the hotels and transport companies, so they can provide us the tickets and restaurants in a relatively lower prices, which can help us save a lot of money. More conveniently and economically, it is a better choice for me to travel with tour guide.



Additionally, following their tour guide can make us enjoy the tour immensely, because the tour guiders are familiar with the destination. They know clear which place is the most worthwhile scene, and they can introduce us the core culture feature of the destination, the special characters of local people, all of which need us spend a lot to time to figure out if the travel was processed by ourselves. Furthermore, the tour guider has sufficient experience so they can give us professional advice about shopping and other things. For example, Hong Kong is celebrated as shopping heaven owing to the free tax. But the fact is not all of the merchandises are worthy purchasing. The tropic fruits, the unmarked garments, imported perfume and cosmetics are cheaper than somewhere, but the electric products are actually more expensive. So without the professional advice, travelers may lost their way in a strange place.

While, someone would point out that this travelling way lacks individuation and freedom when because the schedule unchangeable, and we have to obey the schedule taking most of the members’ thoughts not our own. Well this problem is no longer a serious problem today with the development of tour industry. Usually, the travel agents will offer you several travelling schemes, then you can pick up the most suitable. What's more, the travelling schedules are now humanized designed, and it always has one day for people to arrange their plan on their own, and do something they are favor to do, like go shopping or eat alone, even visit a friend there.

To sum up, the travel agents are advanced enough nowadays that can supply us an economic and professional travelling service, especially when it take humanized design into consideration. So travelling follow tour guide is a better choice.
