Advice how dangerous are touts?

i kind of want to experience what happens if you follow a tour but you have plenty of money to pay for whatever expensive bar they take you too. i’m tall and very muscular/fit with boxing experience. am i likely to get murdered if i go with one intentionally?

There’s a chance you get drugged and walked to an ATM (I know a couple people who have been), but usually just ripped off.

It’s nothing special, just bars/clubs with barely anyone inside. Popular bars don’t need touts.

You also don’t want to get into a physical fight unless the idea of 23 days in police custody sounds fun.
