When traveling with your parents, you can choose between independent travel and group tours.

Most of the time I choose to travel independently, but sometimes it is inconvenient to travel independently.

So when is it appropriate to choose a tour group, and how to choose a suitable tour group?

As a girl who loves traveling and traveling with her family, I share my experience summary with everyone, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

1. When is it appropriate to choose a tour group? It is not necessary to choose a tour group when traveling with parents. I tell you based on my many years of travel experience that it is still appropriate to choose a tour group at these times.

(1) The scenic spots are scattered and the transportation is inconvenient. When I once traveled to Qinghai, I decisively chose a travel agency because most of the time I was on the way to the scenic spots. If I traveled independently, I had to either rent a car or take a taxi, which was not economical at all and would be very expensive.

tired.

Therefore, it is recommended that tourist attractions are scattered and destinations with inconvenient transportation must choose tour groups.

(2) If you don’t want to make a guide, the Tu worry-free tour group is especially suitable for taking your parents to travel as they please. You can just leave as soon as you want and don’t have time to make a guide.

Every time you travel independently, it is very tiring to do detailed planning in the first few days and during the trip. When you don’t have time to do the planning, you must take your parents to choose a tour group, which can save a lot of trouble.

2. How to choose a suitable tour group (1) Avoid ultra-low market price tour groups. In reality, we often suddenly see a cost-effective tour group and are tempted to travel and spend money immediately.

When traveling with your parents, you should avoid ultra-low market price tour groups, and don't forcefully sign up for a group tour just because you see a low-price travel.

I once signed up for a low-priced tour. The hotel and catering were very poor, and the service was also terrible, which greatly affected my travel mood.

(2) Choose a regular travel agency. It is very important to choose the right travel agency for your parents.

First check to see if the travel agency has a formal business license.

Nowadays, there are many health care product companies or clubs on the market posing as travel agencies to organize travel for customers. In fact, there are no contracts or insurances, and they are not within the registration scope of the tourism bureau. Naturally, there is no guarantee.

(The following reliable travel agencies are for reference) (3) Sign a formal travel contract. No matter what travel agency it is, it will definitely sign a travel contract before departure. The contract is a guarantee for travelers and travel agencies.

Before signing a contract, carefully check what is included in the tour, such as how many meals there are, what the hotel is like, and what expenses are not included.

After checking what is included and what is not included, we can discuss with the travel agency to reduce the price or upgrade the items to increase the happiness of the trip for parents.

(4) Try to choose a purely fun itinerary. The quality of pure fun tours is relatively better, the food and accommodation are good, and the tour guide service quality is also good.

Try not to choose a shopping tour to get what you pay for. After all, time is spent on shopping instead of attractions, and the travel experience will be greatly reduced.

If you want to save as much money as possible, you can choose a tour group with 1-2 people who do very little shopping.

My colleague's parents once signed up for a special 1,299 tour group from Chengdu to Yunnan, during which they took an old man to buy "jade" (obviously with a trustee), and spent more than 10,000. When they came back, they found it was just an ordinary stone.

(5) Choose a relatively loose itinerary. Parents have limited physical strength. It is recommended to choose a relatively loose itinerary, and be careful not to include climbing, adventure, etc. in the itinerary to prevent parents from being overworked and running around during the trip.

They are suitable for leisurely travel.

(6) Appropriately upgrade travel items. Parents have a hard time traveling. If you have a generous budget, you can appropriately upgrade travel items.

For example: the car is upgraded to a commercial vehicle, the hotel is upgraded, and it is paired with an exclusive tour guide who is responsible for explaining the scenic spots. It is easy to take care of the details, and the local food is recommended without stepping on the trap, and the experience is instantly enhanced.
