Hot take: my worst travel day ever was in Rome because I trusted a 'free' walking tour.

They led us to a cafe that charged 8 euros for a tiny coffee, then the guide demanded a 20 euro tip per person. What's the most obvious tourist trap you've seen that's disguised as a budget tip?

Ever notice how the worst ones always have the most five-star reviews? Those "free" tours get their friends to flood the sites with fake praise, so you never see the real warnings until it's too late. It's a total scam setup.

How do you even tell the difference anymore? I'll spend twenty minutes reading reviews and still feel like I'm guessing. Do you look for something specific in the bad reviews to spot the real ones?
