How it works
Street touts near the Plaza de los Héroes and the Palacio de los López approach tourists offering city tours, often representing themselves as licensed guides. Prices quoted upfront are doubled or tripled at the end of the tour, and touts may claim the original price was per hour rather than per tour. Some collect a fee and disappear before the tour begins.
