Do low-cost tour groups really exist?

How low can low-price tours be?

First of all, let me explain that I am not a tour guide, a driver, or a seller. I am a tourist, a tourist who has traveled at a low price. If you ask me how low the price is, listen to me explain in detail.

I am a young man, and my mother knows an aunt from church who is involved in tourism. That aunt was very good at talking and being a good person. Although this seemed like a very hypocritical communication to me as a young person, there were many aunts and uncles who paid for it. I am also happy to accept it, after all, I will not hit the smiling person.

My coordinates are in Shenzhen. Tour groups will always have a point in each district of Shenzhen. Depending on where your coordinates are, you can get on the bus there.

Let me first talk about which group I have been to. From Shenzhen to Yangshuo, Guilin, it costs 199 per person, three days and two nights, including food and accommodation, sightseeing, and shopping. The shopping is nothing more than rubber mattresses. They say they are from Thailand. A bed costs about 1,000 to 3,000, and pillows cost 800. The tour guide and the people who recommended things to buy said that shopping is not mandatory and that people do what they can. But everyone knows whether to buy it or not. They keep selling and saying that this is good and that is better. But as a contemporary young person, I discovered one thing. The tour guide will let everyone get up early to have breakfast and go shopping. When everyone is tired, they will You can go shopping for latex mattresses in Thailand, because there are beds there where you can lie down wherever you want. As you can imagine, almost all the people in the group are adults and have limited energy. As soon as they heard that latex beds were available for sleeping, everyone lay down on them to rest. Don't ask me if I was asleep. Anyway, I was snoring because I was very tired. My mother slapped me awake several times and said it was not good for me. You think I, a young man, snores when I sleep, but do you think my uncle and aunt snore when I sleep? beat! I remember that when the guide was still introducing latex cushions and latex pillows, there was an aunt who snored while sleeping. I still remember very clearly that the aunt bought a bed and pillows. It is estimated to cost about 3,000. I guess the aunt must have thought she made the right purchase. I don’t know if I feel better after returning home.

In addition, I also went to Dongguan for a one-day trip, 38 yuan, including bus and lunch. Anyway, it was shopping and attractions. I got up very early in the morning, took the bus and sang a lot about doing what you can and caring. As for the old man, I then took him to a free place to climb a mountain for an hour. God knows how tiring it was. Then you know, because I was tired, hungry and early. Then I went to Nanjing Tongrentang, Nanjing Tongrentang, although I had only heard of Beijing before. Tongrentang. But it doesn't matter, don't worry about it. An intern put all of us in a room, and then recommended to us things from Nanjing Tong Ren Tang, such as toothpaste for 10 yuan a piece. He tempted the uncle and aunt, saying that I, Xiao Liu, would never let everyone suffer today, and then handed out a bunch of red envelopes. , I didn’t say whether I would give it or not, I just told everyone that I would never let anyone suffer. The inside story is that if you buy it, you will be returned a red envelope of the same price. In addition to toothpaste and vitamin C, you will also be returned a red envelope of the same price. The main event is coming! They also have a silver cup worth 2,000 yuan, and they will also say that if you buy it, you will make money, and they will never let anyone suffer! You asked me if I got the 2,000 yuan back? Not back! If you buy it, you will buy it, and then you will give some other gifts to the elderly. If you buy it, you will make money. You ask me, does this count as a small advantage? All I can say is that it’s a big loss! After the auction is over, we start to visit Nanjing Tongrentang. There are many things for sale. After shopping, we go out through an exit and go back, but it will basically take an hour or two.

Then this was the morning journey. After lunch, I went to sleep on a latex mattress. I also listened to the class first and then went shopping. Basically no one sold it. What was particularly embarrassing was that the tour guide was scolded by the boss and looked displeased. I happily told the passengers that what I said was not particularly unpleasant, but it was quite unpleasant. Probably such a small amount of money was not even enough for fares, tolls, lunch and so on. After talking a lot, I started selling things in the car, saying that I was wronged, that such a trip was really tiring, and so on. I just want to make a little bit of money by selling shampoo and stuff to us. Anyway, we didn’t buy it, even though the tour guide’s face was dark, and he even told the driver to drive slower and not go to the scenic spots so fast, let’s see what these people do. Anyway, I think it's funny. I checked the map and it only takes half an hour to get there. Even if you drive slowly, you still don't have to go.
