The juxtaposition of what are supposedly serene experiences coupled with a group tour is unappealing in the extreme. If traveling with family or hand picked
companions that is one thing, but there have got to be a few entitled, difficult people in the mix and they will be doing their annoying things (being late, competing
for the "best" rooms, drinking or talking too much, etc.) for 9, 10 or 20 days. No thank you.
