Frequently asked questions
Is this tour also suitable for first-time visitors?
It can be, though it works best alongside or after a classic city tour, so the wider context makes more sense.
What is the walking surface like?
The route runs over cobblestones and some narrow, slightly uneven lanes, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
Can we steer the tour towards our own interests?
Yes, just tell your guide beforehand what you are curious about, such as architecture, legends or everyday history, and the route is adjusted accordingly.
