Travel Tip: Cheesy Bus Tours

by Michael Davis

in Travel, Videos

When we land in a new city, we have a couple “Day One” rituals. One of them is the “Cheesy Bus Tour”. First, we check-in to our hotel, or stash our bags at the bell desk if we arrive before check-in time, then go fling ourselves into the abyss that is perky tour guide goodness.

Always opt for the general city tour. The point here is to get a quick lay of the land. To determine which areas you want to return to and make a short list of neighborhoods that you might want to “live in” during your stay.

Michael, great stuff. Your an inspiration, I’ll be heading over to Japan next year.

After reading the 4HWW, I’m interested in visiting Argentina like you have.

Dean,

Thanks and enjoy Japan. A place we’ve never been.

Also, I love MrCheapStuff.com. Good work on a great site.

Best,

Thanks, Micheal. I’m now a RSS subscriber.

It really is true that the majority is pretty much always wrong.

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. Being a world traveler, would you be generous in recommending your top places you have traveled. Also, like you I can work anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. Got any nuggets of wisdom from someone like me who is now automating his business to help me break free?
