I seem to enjoy living in tourist destinations. Â I grew up in New York and I now live just outside Washington, D.C. (and used to live in it).
I just did a few “tourist days” with my niece and as part of that, booked a bus tour.
Turns out, locals can take bus tours in DC for free.
Old Town Trolley (who also runs the Duck tours) allow locals to take tours for free when accompanying an out of towner.
From the website (emphasis mine):
Sign up today and rediscover the magic of Washington DC with the Old Town Trolley Tours Hometown Pass.

But these deals aren’t limited to tours.
In Vegas, you can find cheap monorail rides, discounted show tickets, and more.
Disney even has its own set of passes for locals.
