The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, it is commonly accepted that travelling using tours has several advantages over travelling independently. Indeed, when we review trips memories shared by people in social networks, it would be good insight to prove this fact. Contrary to this popular belief, there are still those who argue that in travelling independently, people have more freedom about their activities and do not need to harmonize themselves with others, so travel alone would be more enjoyable. However, I, to a great extent, disagree with this idea that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide.

First and foremost, travel by tours is cheaper than independent travelling. Most travel logs know some hotels with appropriate quality and modest price. Especially, because they reserve hotels for a large number of people, they have some discounts. In addition, transportation costs would be really lower in this way. For example, last year when I decided to travel to Turkish, when I compared travel cost by each of these two types. I had found out that my travel cost would be about half trough travelling by a tour than I want to travel alone.

Another significant fact that should be taken into consideration is that travel by tour would be safer than travel alone. It is very important specifically when people want to travel to an unknown region, or countries which do not have enough security. For example, I conducted a trip to the central desert of Iran. I had some experience of travel to deserts. Nonetheless, this region was completely different from my previous trips. There was not any village or sanctuary. Moreover, my GPS did not work accurately, and I missed the true way. It was a very dangerous experience for me, and I never want to repeat it.

Finally, yet importantly, travelling by a group of people would be a good opportunity to find new friends. Always, finding some confidence people with same travelling interest is a problem. Nevertheless, on the trips, you can know and make a relationship with people who have a lot of similarities with you. For example, I found my mountain climbing partners for an ascent to Damavand in one of this type of trips.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
