Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Taxi drivers who do not name a fare: agree the total in EC or US dollars before you get in. (Scams)
- Unlicensed guides at the cruise terminal or on trails: use a tour desk, your hotel, or a driver with a tourism-authority badge. (Scams)
- Spice sellers who hand you a bag before you agree a price: say the price first and pay only for what you take. (Scams)
