Interesting Mine, Disappointing Tour Guide Experience
Capital Prize Gold Mine Tour的点评
点评:We recently visited Capital Prize Mine while vacationing in Colorado. The mine itself was very interesting, and we enjoyed learning about its history and what mining was like in the area. Unfortunately, our experience with the tour guide left a lot to be desired. Our guide's name was Paul and from the beginning, he seemed irritated by questions and almost appeared put off by having to interact with the group. One woman on our tour asked a number of questions, and rather than engage with her, he repeatedly ignored her or talked over her. It became so obvious that it was uncomfortable for the rest of us to witness.
I asked one question myself and received a sarcastic, condescending response which set the tone from the get go. It certainly wasn't the welcoming or educational experience we had expected.
What makes this particularly disappointing is that there were only a few people on our tour and all walked away with the exact same impression of the guide's attitude.
I've read numerous positive reviews of Capital Prize Mine, including some specifically praising this guide, so perhaps he was simply having a bad day. Unfortunately, we had to put up with his attitude this day. While he may be knowledgeable about the mine, his arrogant, dismissive, and unnecessarily condescending attitude overshadowed the entire experience. Quite frankly, he came across as someone who had very little patience for people and even less interest in providing a positive experience for paying customers.
The mine is absolutely worth seeing, and the history is fascinating. My advice would be to visit the mine but hopefully you'll have a different experience with your guide or maybe you will catch Paul on a better day.
翻译:我们最近在科罗拉多州度假时参观了首都奖矿场。矿场本身非常有趣,我们也很享受了解它的历史以及当地的采矿情况。可惜的是,导游的服务实在不尽如人意。我们的导游名叫保罗,从一开始他就似乎对游客的提问感到不耐烦,甚至显得很不愿意与大家互动。旅行团里有一位女士问了好多问题,但保罗并没有予以回应。他屡次无视她,或者打断她的话。这种情况太过明显,以至于我们其他人看着都觉得不自在。
我自己问了一个问题,得到的却是带有嘲讽和居高临下意味的回应,这就定下了整个互动的基调。这绝对不是我们期望中那种友好且富有教育意义的体验。
最让人失望的是,参加这次导览的人寥寥无几,但所有人都对那位导游的态度产生了完全相同的负面印象。我读过很多关于Capital Prize Mine的正面评价,其中一些还专门称赞了这位导游,所以也许他那天只是状态不佳罢了。可惜的是,那天我们只能忍受他的态度。虽然他对矿场了解颇多,但他那种傲慢、漠视他人且过分居高临下的态度彻底破坏了整个游览体验。坦率地说……他给人的印象是:对常人几乎毫无耐心,也完全不打算为付费顾客提供良好的体验。
这座矿坑绝对值得一去,其历史也相当引人入胜。我的建议是去参观一下,不过希望你能遇到一位更好的导游,或者能在状态更好的日子里遇到保罗。
