Bad advice for a good rest

People live by stereotypes. This also applies to tourism is something imposed rumors, but something themselves and travel companies. The result is problems on the rest. Here are five of harmful advice that it is better to avoid the tourist who wants to get the most enjoyment for your money.



Harmful tip # 1: change money at home


To date, there is no need to change foreign currency in advance, and there is no reason to believe that the house will offer a better rate - often is the opposite. In addition, bringing a bunch of cash, you become a tasty morsel for pickpockets. Of course, for the first time, you must have a bit of cash, but then it is best to rely on plastic cards, it offers the most favorable rate of exchange, and they give exactly only money as you need at the moment.





Harmful tip # 2: book a trip at the last moment


Perhaps a couple of years ago and it would work, and, ordering the journey in the last few days, you decently could save. However, thanks to the record demand for travel, this approach is no longer relevant. The airline allowed fewer flights served by smaller aircraft, and the employment places becomes higher. So those who book a tour for 4-8 weeks, getting more fun as a result, the tourists leave everything to the last week.





Bad advice # 3: the locals all know


Don't even expect that local residents will be able to explain to you how to find what you are looking for. Prepare your route at home and bring it with you guides. For example, after reading a historical novel by Irving stone, the agony and Joy" about the life of Michelangelo, you will get more from the trip to Rome or Florence. Local residents often they themselves have never been in the places of pilgrimage for tourists. As for the guides, most often they are underpaid and they are pretty boring, are tourists in the standard range of museums and souvenir shops, in which they receive a percentage of sales.





Harmful tip # 4: you get what you paid


Because you paid for a five star hotel, it is not necessary to conclude that you actually get the service of the highest class. Many hotels, tour operators and cruise ships only position themselves in the market as luxury services and inflate the price to match the level. Do not let yourself be fooled. Often less expensive, the operator will offer you a much greater level of comfort. Always look at the product or service, not on price, look at online opinion about the product, sleeping on the e-mail with those who have already tried this tour.





Harmful tip # 5: buy a separate service in advance


Cruise ( and not only) operators often recommend you to pay all the excursions that await you on land, before the journey or on arrival at the hotel. However, it is better to do it directly when you went ashore, or before entering the port, because the weather/health/new friends can make their own adjustments. Paying in advance, you will likely overpay or pay for non-existent trips. As soon as you arrive in port, you will meet a local travel Agency or just locals with cars that offer the same trips at lower prices. And if you still want to go to the group, let's see how much this tour with another tour company - if there is no difference, why pay more?
