Back then we had a paper calendar that we used to hang on the wall to know the date because we didn't have mobile phones.
Back then... are we really that old?? lol
I can related to losing the group with tours. They give you no time to actually look at all the details of a place, especially if you have a creative eye and want to take tons of pictures. And like @ellenripley said, I switch off, too. I want to care about what they're telling me, but.... I don't.
Beautiful photos!!
I guess I am getting old, whenever I see the new generation, I feel like an age-old fella... 🤣
That's the actual disadvantage, they talk, explain, and then start walking again. I can't do everything together and I can't focus on what they are saying when the group is huge in a crowded spot. I understand that they have limited time and also our tour guide was exhausted because per day she attends a minimum of 3-4 groups in Venice during summer. It's exhausting for them and for us too.
Me too but I can't...
I can't imagine having to answer the same questions over and over, too, and act like it's the first time they've ever heard it and pretend to be so excited to answer.
Definitely a job I never want!
