Travelling in a group with a tour is the best way to travel. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#group #tour #travel
Some
people
 think that travelling in a
group
 led by a
tour
 agent is the best way to travel,
while
 others oppose
this
 statement. I personally think that travelling in a
group
 is not as good as travelling alone. I feel
this
 way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay. The first reason why travelling in a
group
 is not the best is that you only
visit
 the sites which

 they do not allow you to go. My personal experience is a compelling example of
this
. When I was seventeen years old I took a
tour
 with a
group
 of
people
 to Uzbekistan, the
tour
 was guided by one of the
tour
 agents. We
visit
 different
places
 but we did not
visit
 Samarkand which was the only reason why I am visiting Uzbekistan. After visiting Bukhara I found out that we were not going to Samarkant, and I asked the guide if I really want to see
this
 place, she said that they only
visit
 the
places
 which were on the plan of the
tour
.
This

 the entire trip. If I had gone alone, I would
visit
 Samarkant and fulfilled my dreams. The next reason why I am holding the opinion of
group
 travelling is not the best is that you are mostly dependent on the member of the
group
. All
people
 carry different behaviour, some of them like to wake up late, some of them do not eat what they eat and vice versa.
For instance
, when I visited Uzbekistan with the
group
, there were
people
 who woke up late and we had to wait for them.
Besides
, some members were vegetarians,

 is why we had to eat what they ordered. As result, I was dependent on members of the
group
 and lost time. In conclusion, a band journey led by a guide is not the best way to travel.
This
 is because you only
visit
 the
places
 which were planned and you will be dependent on other members.
