Why Spend Money on Tour Guides?
What does a tour guide do, anyway? All they do is show you historical buildings and read a script that they got from Wikipedia. Why not actually enjoy your vacation with a tour guide who can take you away from the herd and show you places you’ve never even seen?
You can do this by reaching out to social media groups and asking locals to be your guide. Many of them will offer their services completely free of charge because they want to befriend international travelers. Just try and make sure that you’re speaking to a trusted person and not someone who’ll rob you blind the moment they pick you up.
