Overview
It is called the greatest tour... because it is. It is long too (you noticed the 3 hours duration of the tour, I hope). We have about 30 stops, and you`ll see most of the city`s beautiful landmarks.
30 stops is a lot, but don`t worry, this is a relax tour. We do not hurry. Take your time to listen, make photos, and enjoy the the tour. We do not have a time limit for each stop, and there will be plenty of places to enter and see inside.
We`ll walk, we`ll see a lot of gorgeous buildings and monuments, and we`ll discover their stories and hidden details.
Our guides put a lot of effort into making this tour as great as it is, and we think an appropriate tip for their effort is 20 euros / person.
The tours start at 10.00, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
