My first trip to Hong Kong was with a group tour, which was a huge scam.

We set off after drinking at 6 o'clock in the morning. I was already tired from traveling and didn't have enough time to rest.

And there are at least 3 places to buy things in one day, and the time spent shopping is longer than the time spent visiting the scenic spots.

And when it comes to eating, the dishes on our table are not enough for one person.

They are all green vegetables and tofu, and the meat is about the same size as a pebble.

All in all, going with a group tour is quite a trap.

If the tour guide recommends something to you that makes you feel that it is very worthwhile, it is just the first time you go there and it feels good. Everything you think about later is a lie.

It ends at 4-5 o'clock every day. It's a waste of time in the evening. If you go by yourself, you can arrange the itinerary by yourself, but you may need to waste a little time on yourself to do the strategy, and it will cost more money, but it is always better than going with a group.

Good.

I'll answer it.

I will never join a group tour again.

Because the profound lessons came from a three-day group tour to Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai a few years ago.

With great expectations for traveling to Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai, I boarded the train heading south. I started my unhappy trip from the Shenzhen Port, exchanging Hong Kong dollars at high prices, promoting inferior products, and forcing people to enter stores for consumption (at this moment, I seemed to see the fierce tour guide again).

eyes), etc., which makes the good mood of traveling become depressed.

The three-day travel itinerary can be summed up as follows: I get up earlier than a chicken, travel is like a race, there are not many scenic spots, and there is a lot of shopping.

Eating is like grabbing food, the food is sparse, and the tour guides forcefully sell, and traveling is like a trap.

With this profound lesson, my future travels will mainly be self-driving travel, or independent travel.

Nowadays, the tourism economy is relatively developed, and travel itineraries can be arranged through the Internet or through consultation with regular travel agencies.

When traveling by train or plane, you must prepare a strategy in advance and arrange the entire journey point-to-point. Never join a low-price group or a shopping group. Although the cost is a little higher, think about it. I have the final say on my trip and I arrange my journey.

, let your travel become both personalized and comfortable and happy. Isn't this kind of travel better?

When traveling, you will not choose to join a group. When you get up in the morning, the group will give you a fixed time. No matter how tired you are from playing the day before, you must gather at that time.

Take a unified means of transportation, usually a bus.

There is a fixed tour time. Every time you go to a scenic spot, the tour guide will tell you a gathering time at the end of the tour. If the time exceeds, you will not be waited for.

You have to check the time from time to time while playing, which really makes you feel tired and ruins the experience of traveling.

It's like going to the market.

Once one passes, move on to the next.

The purpose of traveling is to see different scenery, experience local characteristics, taste local food, relax, and relax. But to be honest, for me, there is really no way to relax in a group.

There is another particularly bad thing, (compulsory, or semi-compulsory consumption, really, half way through the tour time, the tour guide starts to take you shopping, if you don’t buy, it’s not enough, you can say all kinds of things) I encountered it myself

Yes, it's really annoying.

Whether you have the ability to travel by car or not, it is a very good choice now. Stop and go and slowly appreciate the picturesque rivers and mountains of the motherland. You can be free and carefree when you see the scenery you like.

Slowly enjoy the fun that traveling brings you, taste delicious food, and enjoy the happiness that food brings to you. When you are tired during the day, go back and enjoy the comfort that sleeping brings you.

Why come out to relax and feel the constraints of being in a group?

Don't enjoy being free?

Although you have to do many strategies by yourself, it is also a kind of exercise for yourself.

For me, traveling in a group would do more harm than good, so I would not choose to travel in a group.

(Personal opinion) When I travel, I basically choose to travel in a group. First, it saves worry, second, convenience, and third, safety. However, you must choose well when choosing a travel agency. Don’t be cheap, don’t choose shopping groups, choose

This is a leisure tour group, so you won’t be very tired, and you won’t leave very early in the morning, and you will be very happy when you come back. Travel itself is a happy thing, so you must have a good attitude. Travel itself is also hard work.

Things, so treat it correctly, be tired and happy at the same time!

The first time I went on a group trip was a group trip, which didn’t feel very good. Generally, tourist groups gather at a fixed place in the morning and depart. The main means of transportation for group tours is buses. Most of the time in the next few days will be

Dealing with the bus is really a common problem in group tours: "Sleep on the bus, pee when you get off, and take pictures when you get to the scenic spots." Free time. Every scenic spot you check in has a time limit, and there is no free time at all.

, but for lazy friends, group tours are also a good choice. You don’t need to plan your own itinerary and accommodation. You can just go out and have fun and follow the group. If you are traveling independently, it can be based on your preferences.

You can arrange it as you like. Personally, I prefer to travel independently. I am a person who loves traveling and freedom. Therefore, when I go out to travel, I have never considered joining a group tour.

For most of my journey through China, I have always been alone. Even when I went to places like Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, I always went alone.
