Just think about it
You save up and take the vacation of a lifetime. You go to Paris, France. Even before you leave you find out that Paris hotels are very expensive. Even restaurants that most tourists visit are expensive. You expect any tours or trinkets you may think of buying will be expensive too. So you ask yourself is there a cheaper way to visit Paris. I don’t know the answer to that. All you can do is try to find some kind tourist package through a travel agency and hope you can deal with the schedule they set for you to follow.
