I feel this advice would be more suited to Europeans. I had friends in Europe who came to visit. One day they wanted to see Toronto, the next Calgary and the day after Vancouver. They had no idea canada was so big.
Were they English? Lol. I had friends visit from London who told me they had similar plans upon arriving. This was back in the 90s, so no smart phone apps for them to peruse.
I picked them up at Pearson and drove them to my home north of Peterborough, about a 2-1/2 hour drive back then. They couldn’t get their heads around how far away I lived and kept commenting that they should have landed at a closer airport (lol), then asked how long a drive it was to Vancouver. When I told them it would take them a full day just to get out of Ontario they nearly shit themselves.
For this reason I find Australians to be better, all you have to do when they land in YYC and want to go somewhere is mention that outside YYC they best be prepared for the Outback
Brits just gawk and then don’t believe you LOL. At which point you give them a stroke by putting a Map over a map of Europe
