How to review a review…
We all read reviews before we do things, and they are
such an amazing tool. But there
are some major drawbacks as well.
First of all, there’s the fact that in general only people with a decent
amount of free time, and very strong opinions tend to be the one to leave
reviews. Then there are
expectations. Going in with huge
expectations generally leads to disappointment, and this definitely sways
reviews. Booking a tour months in
advance because you research 256 tours and thought this would be the best one,
well you are bound for it to not live up to your expectations, where as if you
booked it as a whim at the last minute, you are probably not expecting that
much, and will be pleasantly surprised. Expectations distort perspective. Just remember that.
