If you're going someplace big for only a few days, it might be worth it to see the major sites, if only brief glimpses of them.
Back in 2001 (which basically means everything's changed by now) I took a tour bus through Paris. It was nice having people who knew their way around, and hitting all the major things, arc de triamph and whatnot, and they provided hotel and breakfast for you, but you were very rushed. We got to stay in the Louvre for about 2 hours, and if you know anything about that place, you know it takes months to fully peruse what is in there. Also, lol at fighting to get close enough to be able to JUMP and see the Mona Lisa over the crowd.
If you're going someplace for a weekend/one week, it is probably worth it. If you're going long enough to have some time to relax, I'd say more than a week, then you could just pick up a city guidebook and travel at your own pace (taxis and shit will add up, if cost is of any concern).
If you're just going to find new and exciting places to get drunk, then do whatever the fuck you want.
