How Does a Free Tour Work?
It's very simple. At the end of the tour you are free to pay the guide whatever you thought the tour was worth. The guide receives no money other than payments from happy customers like you which guarantees you a top-class tour on the premise of fairness and good faith between you and your guide. Average payment ranges from €15 to €50 per person, depending on the enjoyment and personal budget of the guest. Contactless payments via card machines are also facilitated on the tour.
Group Policy
Groups of 6 or more are subject to a fixed fee. Any group suspected of creating multiple bookings in an effort to avoid these fixed rates will not be allowed to join the tour. If you have a group of 15 or more please contact us no later than 24 hours in advance so we can ensure we have enough guides on site to create an enjoyable experience from everyone.
Private Tours
All of our tours are also available as private tours. These are a great option for corporate groups, language schools or individuals. You can make an enquiry for a private tour HERE
