First of all, by traveling in a group, we can benefit from the travel knowledge of our 
tour guide and our traveling companions and from the language skills of our tour guide.
Without knowledge of the language, we might have great difficulty in communication. 
Also we should search for the places that we are going to visit in order to not to waste 
time. Because most of us are not professional tour guides, we cannot know all the 
important places that have to be visited. Tour guides can help us in different situations. So, 
traveling in a group led by a tour guide is better than traveling alone. Many tour guides 
know at least two foreign languages, so they help us to communicate when we have 
trouble. Tour guides also give us information about the places that we visit, so the trip 
becomes even more informative. 
Secondly, meeting new people can be very interesting when we travel in a group. We 
can build friendships that last forever. For example, two years ago, with my cousin, I went 
to Paris with on a tour with a group. There were almost thirty people in our group. We got 
along with each other very well. We went to restaurants all together, and it was really fun. 
If the number of people in a tour increases then, the transportation and hostelling costs 
decrease, and people can visit more places with less money. 
In conclusion, I can say that traveling in a group of people is the best way to travel. 
Traveling in a group allows us to save money, make good friends, have companionship, 
and learn important information about the place that we are visiting.
