Would you rather organize a trip yourself or take a trip organized by a tour company and why? Include details and examples to support your explanation.

I definitely prefer to organize a trip myself rather than to take a trip organized by a tour company.

One main reason is that I like to be spontaneous when on vacation and to be able to change my plans if I hear of something to do that is better than my original plan. For example, if I arrive in a new city, and find that there is a festival I had not expected, I would rather go there than to stick to my original plans.

Another reason is that a person who is good at art, but doesn’t like academic studies should focus on their art and take practical courses to become an artist or designer, rather than attend university and study academic subjects like art history. If I were with a tour company, then I would have to give up going to this festival and follow their plans.

So, if I organize a trip myself, I don’t have to be restricted by time and I can enjoy my trip.
