Gondola rides — Venice, Italy

Taking an overpriced gondola captained by someone dressed like what foreigners imagine Italians to look like is one of the most corny and touristy things to do in Venice — and that's before the gondolier starts singing (which costs extra, mind you).

Instead, take a much cheaper traghetto, which is basically just a less frilly gondola that locals use to get across the canals.
