The best way to travel is travel in a group led by a tour guide. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Who doesn’t love to go on a nice holiday? Statistically in Saudi Arabia in 2019, more than 2 million people travelled abroad for leisure.

However

, most of them had issues related to language and culture.

Although

some people need a

tour

guide

, I believe that an individual is capable of managing without any

guide

.

To begin

with, travellers could easily learn about their holiday destination. To illustrate

this

, these days you can get information about any country online.

For example

, if I want to travel to Spain I can just search online and find out everything I need to know with a few clicks.

In addition

, it is possible to learn the basics of Spanish using books which are available everywhere. You may

also

carry an app on your phone to help you.

Secondly

, from a financial perspective, travelling without a

tour

guide

is far better. A travel

guide

in Spain

for example

can cost you around 200 dollars a day typically. Another drawback is that

tour

guides can easily take advantage of the tourist. There are many cases of people I know who have been cheated by these guides often losing thousands of dollars. Once a friend of mine was swindled as soon as he landed at the airport by a taxi driver who pretended to be his

tour

guide

. To sum up, despite the fact that a

tour

guide

may be useful, there are many other ways to learn about your holiday destination. Books,

internet

Correct article usage

the internet

show examples

and magazines contain more than enough to

guide

you.
