A Bunch of Thieves at Italy

No visit to Rome is complete without trying gelato, but a group of four British tourists got a rude shock when they were charged 64 euros (S$103) for four cones of ice cream. Roger Bannister, his brother and their wives, who were on a six-day holiday in Italy, were each charged 16 euros earlier in May at Antica Roma bar and gelateria, which is situated near the famed Spanish steps.

 The bar manager claimed that the prices of the ice cream were displayed "everywhere" and that the group was paying for large scoops that are "worth the price". "No one forced them to order big ice creams."  It is apparently not the first time tourists have been ripped off in Italy. In 2009, a restaurant near Piazzo Navona charged a Japanese couple 695 euros for dinner.
Tourist touts dressed as Roman soldiers are also notoriously known for charging exorbitant prices for a photograph with them in front of the historical Colosseum.
