9. Most tourists have a limited time to sight see

They go in groups with a guide and they're surrounded by other groups of tourists with guides. I've been in cities like London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Luxembourg City, Bern (Switzerland), Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Dublin, Zagreb (Croatia), and Seoul, South Korea and taking off on your own is one of the best ways to avoid tourists and see and experience the real sights. Take sometime to see the large cities and what they have to offer but definitely get out of the cites and visit the countryside. The food in the countryside is much better and cheaper than the food in the cities.
