Why is the tour free?
We've been travelers ourselves, and we believe that your budget should not limit you in visiting and getting to know a city. The tour is based on tips, as our guides are not payed by the company nor the city-hall. It is up to you to tip the guide as per your budget and satisfaction after the tour.
What should I take with me?
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, a hat/cap, water, and a lot of questions - we love those! (An umbrella or a rain coat during the rainy season wouldn't be a bad idea either.)
Is there a chance to eat some local food?
Yes, usually we take breaks in places where we can eat local specialities and try lots of street food.
How long does the tour last?
The morning tour is about 4 hours long. As we take a break to eat, we usually finish at around 1:30pm. The afternoon tour finishes between 6:30pm and 7:00pm.
