TOEFL writing part: Is staying in a group lead by a tour guide the best way to travel Traveling now becomes a important way for us to spend our holiday, but there is a problem as to whether the best way to travel is in a group lead by a tour guide? From my perspective, traveling with a tour guide is not the best way and the reasons are as follows. Frankly speaking, traveling in a group with a local guide is quite efficient in most situations. Traveling alone sometimes is not that safe, but traveling in a group we have no necessity to worry about our own safety. What is more, arriving a new city we are not familiar with, it is really common for us to lose our direction and it is a hard nut to crack for us to find the way to the tourist attractions. A tour guide is a perfect solution to these problems. Without worrying about taking the wrong way, we can definitely enjoy the beautiful scenery more easily. However, that does not mean that traveling in a group with a tour guide is the best idea for us. Take myself as an example, I went to Beijing last summer with a group and the group had nearly thirty people. Although my safety is ensured, the group was too noisy and crowded for me to enjoy my journey. When we went to the museum, we have to follow the guide's instruction and it is difficult for me to see everything clearly because we have too many people together. Had i not joined this tourist group, I can definitely have a better experience. In addition, tour guide sometime are not that reliable. It is a common phenomenon in our country that the tour guide will lead the customers to some shops to buy souvenirs. The product in these shop are sometimes very expensive but in low quality. The tour guide just make use of our ignorance about the local situation and make money from it, which really harms the customers' interest. Simply put, it is advisable for us to draw the conclusion that staying in a group led by a tour guide is not the best way to travel. Sometime time traveling alone may be a better choice for us to enjoy our journey.

Yes, it is really annoying when the tour guides bring us to the shops and won't let us go until we buy something.

Travelling has now become an important way for us to spend our holiday, but there is a problem question as to whether the best way to travel is in a group lead by a tour guide (or guided tour group)? From my perspective, travelling with a tour guide is not the best way and the reasons are as follows.
