Dropped $65 on a 'hidden gems' tour in Nashville and saw a parking lot
Two summers ago I paid $65 for a walking tour in Nashville that promised secret spots locals love. The guide walked our group of 11 past a parking garage, a chain coffee shop, and a wall mural I could have found on my phone in 30 seconds. It lasted 80 minutes and the only 'hidden gem' was a taco stand that was already packed with tourists. Two people in my group left halfway through, and honestly I should have followed them. What tours or passes have burned you like this, and did you get any money back?
That $65 parking lot tour sounds way too familiar, I once dropped $40 on a "ghost walk" in Savannah that was just a guy in a cape pointing at normal houses. The whole thing lasted barely 45 minutes and the only spooky part was how fast my money vanished for zero ghosts. I never got a dime back, so now I just ask locals at bars instead and save the cash for actual tacos.
