5. Avoid guided tours

If you’re anything like me, then you probably want to check out every little historical site on the list of must-see places. And that’s fine, but you must avoid getting into one of the most common tourist traps, which is guided tours.

Besides being super crowded, you will barely understand all the explanations the guide is trying to give, mostly because a lot of people won’t be quiet and you will hear mumbles instead of what the guide is saying. That’s quite a turn-off, right?

However, if you still want to pick a guided tour, read evaluations before making a reservation. As we have indicated, aim to attend these trips during the off-peak season. You’ll notice a significant difference, particularly in terms of cost!

And if you are looking to avoid all these common tourist traps, use your phone’s GPS and let it guide you through the city. Trust me, there are low chances of getting lost, plus it is worth it to walk more and enjoy the surroundings at your own pace!

If you consider this article about common tourist traps useful, don’t forget to recommend it to your friends too! Meanwhile check out another one that’s somehow connected with this one: Tourists Should Stay Away From These 8 Dangerous and Popular Attractions!
