These days, a lot of people travel around the world for various reasons. Some people might contends that it is easier to trip with a tour guide in another country since it has different cultures and languages. However, in my opinion, I firmly believe that travel without a tour guide is much better for tourists. There are three compelling reasons for my argument.
First, tour companies are trying to show and visit all the well known places in a short days. This schedule led some problems for the tour. They not only gave short time to look around and enjoy the time but also made the tourists exhausted by the tough schedule every day. Some tourists travels in order to get some rest from out of their rough life.
Second, a trend of travel is changing. The recent research well demonstrate my assertion. In the past around 2000s, people tends to go another country with a tour guide. However, after the beginning of 2010, the rate of people who go the travel by themselves increased. I can assume that the reason of increase are due to the development of internet. Now, it is easier to find a resources for the trip than the past. Hence, people more likely to find the best options for their trips.
Third, tourists might have to spend more money by using s tour guide. The tourists have to tip their tour guide every day. Not only that but also they have to spend more money for the restaurants or places since they visited more places than free trips. For example, when I went to America to visit my granduncle, my family and I travel the New York city for a week with a tour guide. After that we travel around the New York by ourselves for two weeks. Surprisingly, it costed more with a tour guide.
Finally, traveling with a group produce a lot of problems. Commonly, if we are using a tour guide, we are traveling with other families or groups. Since we are traveling with unknown people it can cause the argument between groups. Also, it is difficult to concentrate in the traveling. In my experience, I went to a Japan for the first time with a tour guide and other families. After few days of trip, two group had argument between the decision making. It ruined the entire tour.
Therefore, the best way to visit somewhere is not using a tour guide. The schedule will make the tourists exhausted, people more likely to go free trips and they might have to spend more money.
