Anyone cares to share some insights of joining group tour?

Though I had never joined any group tour traveling overseas, but while in airports met many groups tour in airport, because of older ages like late 50 to early 70 years old, so very obvious.

Due to age gap, I foresee group tour may not that enjoyable, like half way nenek sakit. Atuk letih etc.. Vs young adult, 1 day sleep 5 hours enough, no problem long time walking, walk fast, eat and drink heavy.

Can I survey tour company the tour members average age prior purchasing the package?

Any recommendations?

Pros tour group

-lead by experienced people
-know where good and bad place
-more safer if u go for the very first time
-all the tour work are handle by them, u only need to provide passport id, ic , full name and expire date of passport
-u will be given insurance as part of the package tour
-know more friend
-the time will past like very super fast
Cons tour group
-depend the location, can be cheap or expensive
-no or less freedom , it is guide who help u
-will upcar / push u to buy a lot of thing at some location ( cause u know, commission is their blood / rice bowl, now they earn above fresh grad salary )
-cut time, this one hard to explain, basically u are given limited time to tour around
-just sometime, the food can be too much, breakfast, lunch and dinner can be feel like feast
-u might need bring a lot Gaviscon / charcoal pill if u feel full each time after breakfast , lunch and dinner
according to now trend, many ppl dare to go solo trip know as YOLO it

Care to explain more in the insurance part?

It is different than credit card insurance?

Or I heard few years back like few hundred ringgit travel insurance, in case got emergency or sick can't travel, insurance will reimburse, like hedge 10k with few hundred ringgits
