The first thing occurred to me is the experience of traveling to a southern city in my country. My classmate and I planned to visit some tranditional gardens and temples there. In that morning, I asked a passerby if he knows where to buy tickets, he took us to the travel agency, then we bought two tickets . Beyond our exception , we have to follow the travel group or we can't enter the attractions (the travel agency kept tickets). The agency took us to different kinds of stores for selling goods to people before visiting every attractive. We could only stay inside each attractive no more than 5minutes, but he forced us to stay inside each store more than one hour. When it came to lunch time, we were going to try some local food, the agency didn't allow us to get off bus and selling snacks to people only. He said that we have to save time to catch a lecture. Then we arrived the "lecture", it turned out that the "lecture" was for selling pearls to people, we must listen to the two hours long lecture before visiting the next attractive. I felt super angry and told him that I wouldn't attend the lecture, I asked for my tickets, he suddenly shouted at me: If you don't attend the lecture then you go, you poor thing! I couldn't believe my ears when I heard those words, we argued with each other for few minutes and he was about to hit me. Thanks for some good people there stopped him. My classmate and I left the tour group and walked back to the downtown for 2hours. We felt super angry and disappointed, we were high school students at that time and never experienced such a thing before. So impressive!!!

Sounds to me like a typical tourist trap, where the tour guide get's commission on the sales of tourist rubbish that nobody really wants anyway.. You had a right to be angry.
