They'll take you to different places than you ask for, places that give them kickbacks to bring people to them. For instance, the one I rode gave a pitch about "Lucky Buddha," a fake shrine set up so that they could plant someone to give you a sales pitch about some shady silk clothing stores likely connected with the black market, which you'd inevitably be taken to on the second stop of the so-called tour.
