I was actually very impressed by the Eiffel Tower. Everyone on earth knows what it looks like, however actually seeing the size of it in person and looking out over the city from atop it was a highlight of the trip. Yes you've got to avoid the gypsies and pick pockets, but that's standard travel precaution. Similar experience with the Louvre. Even if you don't care about the Mona Lisa, the thousands of other paintings, sculptures and artifacts make it a don't miss!
Chris you're brilliant. Always loaded with fantastic information. I'm going to Bath England in September then to Bruges. Any tips? Thanks Chris 🇨🇦 Vancouver Canada
Along the lines of #12, I’ve also learned that if a cruise ship excursion has “shopping” in its name, it means being taken on a bus from one specific shop to the next one, where you’ll really be pushed to by. Not leisurely window shopping or checking out the stores that actually interest you.
Great video and I 100% agree with why all of these "tips" are bad ones. My favorite is don't travel solo ... If I didn't travel solo, I wouldn't go anywhere! (rolling eyes). I've been traveling solo since 2008 and started with domestic US trips and have graduated to flying to SE Asia on my own. As someone who doesn't drive, I utilize a combo of public transit, taxis, Ubers and guided tours to access places that I cannot walk to. I think people should try at least one solo trip in their lifetime. I am picky about my flights and refuse to book a super cheap flight if it'll add unnecessary layovers or arrive at a inconvenient time. With all the issues of flight travel, I avoid layovers whenever I can even if I have to take a non-preferred airline and will pay more for direct flights. I agree that you need to have both credit cards and cash. I remember joining a FB group for my recent trip to Australia and everyone's talking about how they didn't need cash. I withdrew my cash before I left LA and most places accepted it (a few were cashless and I was able to use my card or Google Pay). As you mentioned, some places are cash only or card only so have both ready. Some people say it's best to withdraw cash from ATM at the country but with a lot of scams going on at card machines and wanting to be ready the second I arrive with my cash, I always exchange currency through my bank or reputable exchange place. I have difficulties falling asleep on long hauls so I try to be rested before my flight and, ideally as you mentioned, have my flight arrive in the afternoon/evening so it's closer to bedtime. Many people recommend sleep aids but my concern as a solo female traveler is making sure I have my wits about me when I land in any foreign country (or any airport in general). I just wish I could fly places like Singapore, Australia, NZ and arrive later in the day but from LAX, the flights generally have arrived super early in the morning. Fortunately for me, I've been able to check into my hotel early with one exception. On the topic of street food: I have found that my tummy can be sensitive as I'm getting older and I am cautious about street food in general. When I was in Thailand, I was fortunate that my hotel was near a major mall (IconSiam) which had so many yummy food options that I had the "street food" experience without the street food if that makes sense :) Not visiting "touristy places" is really dumb advice ... I will visit the key attractions and monuments as they are popular for a reason. Now if I ever visit Paris again, I don't necessarily need to visit the Eiffel tower again but at least I've been there!
Thanks for the video, Mr. Rainey. Your tip about learning some of the native language/phrases reminded me of my late Vietnamese mother paternal Grandmother who always preferred that I speak Vietnamese to her over English.

Great vid!! I fully agree as a tourist, you have to do the tourist experiences. Doing a bit of research in advance is a must and having an itinirary ready, particularly for those once in a lifetime trips. I'm only half way through but really glad you made this vid 😀
I loved this stream!!! I feel bad for people that followed the bad travel tips. Also have you stayed at a hotel offering 24 hour butler service? If so, what did they do and what was it like?
Can I ask please, do you always pay upfront for your hotels at the time of booking or do you pay in resort?? I'm just wondering what the best option is, thanks 🙏🏻
I usually pay at the hotel.. I find many of the "prepayment" rates are not cancellable and changeable. And I always try to book flexible rates that you can cancel or change up until a few days before
I was in Portugal in June. Some taxis accepted card and some didn't. Even some stores were cash only. Always have some local currency with you. I was caught out a few times.
Regarding Haneda to Yokohama Cruise Port: Probably the easiest way is to take the Keikyu Line from Terminal 3, using the Express Zushi-Hayama trains which go directly to Yokohama station, and from there either a taxi to the cruise port or the Minatomirai Line to Nihon-Odori and from there roughly a half mile walk.
Fully agree with the advice - mostly! Certain places are definitely too touristy and are made into more of a major attraction when they're a minor attraction. So visiting Tokyo - absolutely amazing! Visiting Senso-Ji? Not so much! But Meiji Jingu, which is also fairly touristy, absolutely is. But skipping Times Square, definitely a mistake! Though Shibuya is 1000x better than Times Square...
Funny thing that happened to me: I had to travel to NY, flew on Jetblue, wore a suit and tie and accidentally wore the same color palette as the flight attendants😅. Every time I got up to the restroom people thought I was the flight attendant. Total Fail😂
"Don't go to the touristy stuff" is such weird advice, because yeah temper your expectations, but odds are the touristy stuff is part of what you went to see in the first place. As for hotels, I usually go for middle-of-the-road chains, you won't get anything especially nice at a Comfort Inn, but you probably won't get anything particularly bad either, and sometimes you can get really good rates.
We travelled to Seattle and Calgary recently and to our surprise the hotels wanted a physical credit card when checking in. Thank god we brought them. Small hotels or big chain ones like Hyatt and Holiday Inn. They didn't use the tap thing at check in so we couldn't use Google pay. There was one hotel in Calgary which rejected all our physical credit cards and we had to pay cash!! The surprising thing was the restaurant in the hotel has the tap terminal to pay so we could use google pay for dinner.
I was going to buy a Rimowa in Frankfurt but thanks to a flight scheduling change and a flight delay. I got into Frankfurt into 11 pm instead of 2 pm. Then out the next morning on Singapore Airlines business class to JFK 😃
The point is is if you live in the USA, I would laugh at the idea of going to Times Square, but if we are talking Europe or Asia you should go to Rome, Paris etc. I live 25 miles from Disneyland and I will never go there again. It’s different.
Got it and thanks for your sharing. Besides, I think the most important tool for people who want to travel abroad is translate machine like Google Translate or Immersive Translate. Otherwise, tourists cannot communicate fluently.
A year ago a teen was temporarily detained, and then banned from American Airlines for three years for attempting to skip lag. So yes, there are real world examples of this getting people in trouble. Infact American Airlines recently renewed tge lawsuits against third-parties that do this.
Everyone needs to see the Louvre, view the Mona Lisa to see just how underwhelming it s, then enjoy the rest of Louvre. I’ve seen most of the others you mentioned and glad I did. Some of them once was enough just to say I did, others are worth dealing with the crowds. I will always enjoy the vibe in Times Square or staring up at the Eiffel Tower
28:30 OMG, I TOOK THE PUBLIC BUS IN THAILAND. THE FLOOR BOARDS WERE UNEVEN, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE DIM, THE BUS WAS REALLY OLD. THE BUSES NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. YOU CAN DO A WHOLE VIDEO ON THEIR BUSES ALONE. THE SEATS WERE LIKE OLD SCHOOL BUS SEATS FOR ELEMENTARY KIDS. NO SEAT BELTS. THERE WAS A DRIVER AND A PERSON WALKING AROUND COLLECTING MONEY FROM PEOPLE GETTING ON THE BUS. THE MONEY COLLECTOR WAS HOLDING THIS CONTAINER THAT WAS LIKE A PIGGY BANK TO COLLECT PEOPLES' MONEY. THE BUS RIDE WAS LIKE 20 CENTS.THE ENTRANCE DOOR WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUS INSTEAD OF THE FRONT. NO WINDOWS. NO CARD TAP OR PAY MACHINE AT THE FRONT OF THE BUS. THEY WOULD PICK YOU UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE BUS WAS THE SIZE OF A SHORT SHUTTLE BUS YOU WOULD SEE AT LAX. THE BUS WAS ANCIENT, BUT COZY. I WOULDNT WANT TO FALL ASLEEP ON IT THOUGH.
I do not suggest the double-decker in England. Especially if you have motion sickness issues. It was a good thing that my mom got trip insurance because she got so dizzy on the double-decker she had to go to the hospital. She stayed there for a couple of days until they got her calmed down enough for her to leave. They couldn’t continue on their tourbecause it had left. She ended up staying in England until they caught up with the group and flew back home. She never got a bill and they sent her flowers all the way to Washington state
Google maps will say time and cost for the different options so we can decide which is the better choice. The later in the day, the more we steps we’ve gotten in, the more tired I get, the more I think the taxi is a good deal.
Just from experience, people generally like it more when you make an attempt to learn the language, but if you're struggling on ordering something, then whipping out a digital translator will help. Also be sure to learn the customs so you aren't rude to others.
Another bad travel tip is to not use a Travel Advisor because we are more expensive! That is not true and we have access to deals the public can’t get! Also for a stress-free trip and personalized service!
Suggesting avoiding Rome or Venice in my opinion is not a wise decision: they are unique places in the world and... yes they are full of tourists, but, if possible, it is sufficient to avoid the peak seasons to enjoy incomparable beauty without being overwhelmed from the mass of tourists. For the same reasons it might be suggested to avoid London, Paris, etc. There is no way out, if you want to see the most beautiful places in the world you have to accept the fact that there are tourists.😉
I hired a bicycle in Washington DC and used it up and down the National Mall and over to the White House. It saved me a lot of walking and it took a lot less time too.
1- If there is dual pricing in Kyoto and Osaka, not going! Yoshinoya charges 'foreigners' extra for their food. I'm not supporting policies like this which are obvious cash grabs based on assumptions that 'foreigners have more money'. This foreigner does not have more money and every NZD is worth 90 yen! The problem for our currency is the USD, it is worth so little that everything is expensive. NZD $1= USD 0.59c
Gotta disagree with the Ichiran one. When i see other tourists line up to an Ichiran for an hour and then you take out your phone and look up "ramen near me" and there are 10 places within walking distance that are all better its quite sad. Food is the exception to the tourist trap rule.
It’s easy for those who’s been to a touristy place to tell others not to go because they’ve already been there. Lol! There’s a reason why those people went to those touristy destinations in the first place - to experience them! So don’t tell me not to go because I want my own experience too whether it be good or bad. I would never tell anyone to avoid touristy places either, but then maybe I would so I could have it more to myself. Lollllllll!
Whaaat people actually say SKIP Tokyo Disney??? I mean yeah it's busy, but it's incredible! Best Disney park in the world, and worth it even if you're not a big Disney person
I've followed you since 2018. Love your advice and videos. My pet peeve is how you pronounce some Hawaii cities and attractions, especially given how often you go there. Today, it was Hanauma Bay, again. Don't pronounce the u. The u serves to change the 'a' sound.. Ha-naw-ma. The Hawaiians will thank you. ❤️
Thanks for the video, Mr. Rainey. Your tip about learning some of the native language/phrases reminded me of my late Vietnamese mother paternal Grandmother who always preferred that I speak Vietnamese to her over English.

Thanks for the tip on decoding that langiage
Great video and I 100% agree with why all of these "tips" are bad ones.
My favorite is don't travel solo ... If I didn't travel solo, I wouldn't go anywhere! (rolling eyes). I've been traveling solo since 2008 and started with domestic US trips and have graduated to flying to SE Asia on my own. As someone who doesn't drive, I utilize a combo of public transit, taxis, Ubers and guided tours to access places that I cannot walk to. I think people should try at least one solo trip in their lifetime.
I am picky about my flights and refuse to book a super cheap flight if it'll add unnecessary layovers or arrive at a inconvenient time. With all the issues of flight travel, I avoid layovers whenever I can even if I have to take a non-preferred airline and will pay more for direct flights.

I love travel guides. I write on them and even divide them up by tearing them so i only cary the portion i need. Fodor's are my favorite. 😊
That's a great idea!
Where did you buy that guide book on Kyushu? Who is the publisher and what is the title? I never seen that before.

Yeah. Hotels pay a lower fee to accept the credit card if they do it as a chip insertion instead of a tap.

In regards to invitations from locals I think it depends on the country, there are some places I would feel safer then others.
The point is is if you live in the USA, I would laugh at the idea of going to Times Square, but if we are talking Europe or Asia you should go to Rome, Paris etc. I live 25 miles from Disneyland and I will never go there again. It’s different.

Agreed that it's not worth it to stand in long lines for many of the "it" food places
The train in Rome are fine. Taxis are scary AF.
Taxis: Group of 4. $2.50 per ride on public transit. $10 goes a long way in a taxi.
Whoever said that doesn't know the diff between a tourist trap and a tourist attraction. NOT the same thing.
This is the first time I ever heard you talk about your mom !
Just because a lot of locals may speak English doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate us making an effort. It’s a matter of respect.
Many foreigners come to America and don’t respect the local culture
I agree ... I struggle so much with learning languages due to my hearing impairment but I try to learn at least a few words.
