The Alamo - the slogan is the only memorable thing about it
The Grand Canyon - Much prettier and more accessible ones out there, such as Bryce
Carlsbad Caverns - was a letdown after Luray
Buenos Aires- Terrible food. How are these people not constipated?
Scottish Highlands - REALLY terrible food. And midges.
São Paulo - Felt unsafe, did not like the vibe
Mumbai- Filthy, crushing levels of poverty on display (similar to São Paulo), crowded
Tokyo - Also so very crowded, and there was something (especially about men) that was disconcerting

Also hated the Alamo. No basement, and I didn't find my bike!

Didn’t think much o San Antonio overall. River walk is cute for an hour, but not much else going on in the city.

Was blown away by Scottish Highlands….so beautiful. The part we visited was pretty remote, so not a lot of restaurants. We were there for hiking and scenery and not food. Also love Grand Canyon. One of my favorite places. If you go to South Rim at peak tourist season, I could see not enjoying it.

Scottish Highlands are beautiful. Sometimes a little bleak, but quite lovely overall. British food is terrible in general, but they do their baked goods well, and the Highlands were lacking even in that. I think the problem I had with the Grand Canyon was that we got there after visiting Zion and Bryce, and by then, I didn't find anything special about it. It's also not hikable in the same way that the others are. North Rim > South Rim, but neither was as interesting as other canyons we had seen along the way.

Agree completely. Unbelievably underwhelming.

I hated the city anyway but I know a lot of people lov Barcelona. I witnessed a purse snatching where the perp cut the strap with a knife and sliced the woman’s neck in the process.
