Knowledgeable guides and good company are more crucial in some places than others Article Page Ah, group tours. Busloads of be-visored, fanny-packed, wide-eyed tourists with curiously staggered needs for bathroom breaks. But not all group travel is embarrassing. In some destinations, it's crucial. So says a story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, anyway. The AJC lists eight places where travelers shouldn't go it alone, and provides information about tour offerings.
