Question 1

Does the tour run in rain, snow, or on holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the tours run as scheduled. If weather conditions are extreme and the tour cannot take place, we will directly reach out.

Question 2

What is a free tour and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A free tour is a guided walking tour with no fixed price. You book for free, enjoy the route with a professional guide, and at the end, you decide how much to tip based on your experience. It’s the model used by the best tourism companies in Europe because it aligns tour quality with traveler satisfaction: if the guide isn't good, it shows immediately.

Question 3

Are free tours really free?

Accepted Answer

Not really. They're free in the 'freedom' sense. Meaning you don't have to pay anything upfront, and only pay at the end of the tour the amount you deem fair in the form of a tip.

Question 4

How much to tip in a free tour?

Accepted Answer

Most travellers tip around €15-20 per person. At the beginning of the tour the guide briefly explains how free tours work so no one has any doubts. And of course, no pressure on minimum amount.

Question 5

Do I have to book in advance?

Yes, we recommend you book through our website to gurantee your spot. The groups have a maximum of 30 people and the most popular schedules fill up fast, especially during high season.

Question 6

Can I cancel my booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Booking is free for all free tours and up to 48h before for paid excursions.

Question 7

What happens if I arrive late to the tour's meeting point?
