Good satire is hard to come by.

So when Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the award-winning creators of South Park and The Book of Mormon, decided to parody the common mistakes made on group tours  – I got pretty excited.

Although the writers of the show really take aim at zipline tours in this episode – let’s not get too smug. We’ve all been on group tours with these exact same issues… and there is even a chance that your tour suffers from similar symptoms.

Everything from soggy sandwiches, waiting for late guests, overly long shuttles, ‘long stories not-so-short’ and forced sing-alongs – a little truth goes a long way when it comes to group travel experiences.

Enjoy the episode, share it with any colleagues or staff that need a chuckle, and let’s make sure we aren’t making these mistakes.

All the very best,
