Never underestimate the power of reviews. They can make or ruin any location. When you travel to a new place for the first, check reviews for everything. This includes your accommodation, tour companies, and restaurants.
You should not only look at the reviews, but also look out for reviews that appear to have been planted or generated by bots. You can plan your trip better if you know what other people think about a particular location. Google Maps and TripAdvisor can be your greatest assets.
