Theme: Weird Tours
While most tourists trudge to the usual museums, churches, and historic sites, other travelers seek out tours that are unusual or out-of-the-way. Obsessive collections of junk? Factory tours? Tours of underground tunnels? Abandoned ruins? Crime scenes? Weird tours provide a unique perspective on oddball places that don’t usually qualify as "tourist attractions".
