Vores #1 rejsetip

Før Dag 1: Book en GRATIS gåtur

Gratis gåture. Ja, faktisk gratis. Ingen kreditkort nødvendigt. Ingen fangst.

En lokal guide tager dig med rundt i 2-3 timer og viser alle hovedseværdigheder og skjulte perler. Det er 100% drikkepengebaseret. Guider tjener kun det, du giver dem til sidst, så de giver deres absolut bedste hver gang. Passioneret fortælling, insider-tips, restaurantanbefalinger du ikke finder online.

Gør dette på din første dag. Du får styr på byen, lærer historien og får personlige anbefalinger fra en lokal til resten af dit ophold.
