Question about trusting cheap tour deals from people you meet abroad
I had a close call with a "budget" day trip organized by someone at my guesthouse... They promised a full itinerary for half the price of agencies, so a few of us signed up. Turns out, the guide was unlicensed and the transport broke down, leaving us stranded. We had to pay extra for a ride back, which wiped out any savings... Always ask for licenses and read reviews from past groups before joining. It might take a bit more time, but it saves money and stress in the long run. Don't let a friendly face trick you into a bad deal...
