Thursday Travel Tip: Take advantage of free tours/experiences in major cities

One of the best things you can do before you travel is to find for walking tours, guided trips and other experiences offered for free by locals. 
These free tours are an incredible opportunity to learn about the area, ask questions and get suggestions and recommendations from people that are from the area. All you have to do is search "free walking tours (city name)."
​There's not a major city in the world that doesn't provide some sort of free walking tour. So take advantage of it!
Pro Tip: Don't be a chizzler, tip the tour guide a few bucks.
