Will my driver make me visit tourist traps like gem museums?

High-quality operators strictly forbid their chauffeur-guides from forcing clients into high-pressure souvenir shops, gem museums, or spice gardens against their will. You have absolute authority to decline any commercial stops, at any time.

While some budget or freelance drivers lean hard on the concealed earnings that come from these tourist traps, reputable agencies pay their staff properly so they do not act that way. If a chauffeur-guide brings up a craft village, you can just say no. The itinerary is yours, and a professional chauffeur-guide will respect your limits without back-and-forth, no drama.
