Check your email the day before the tour for important information. It is a walking tour, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. We're not afraid of the sun and rain, so the tour will take place as planned, regardless of weather, so please check the forecast and dress appropriately. Please note that entry tickets to the attractions, food and drinks are NOT INCLUDED in this tour. For the best experience, we limit your group size to 1-25 guests per guide, so that everyone can get personal attention, ask questions and hear commentary clearly. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
