Unser Reisetipp Nr. 1

Vor Tag 1: Buche eine KOSTENLOSE Stadtführung

Kostenlose Stadtführungen. Ja, wirklich kostenlos. Keine Kreditkarte nötig. Kein Haken.

Ein lokaler Guide führt Sie 2-3 Stunden durch alle Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten und versteckten Juwelen. Es basiert zu 100% auf Trinkgeld. Guides verdienen nur, was Sie ihnen am Ende geben, also geben sie jedes Mal ihr Bestes. Leidenschaftliches Erzählen, Insider-Tipps, Restaurantempfehlungen, die Sie online nicht finden.

Machen Sie das am ersten Tag. Sie finden sich zurecht, lernen die Geschichte kennen und erhalten persönliche Empfehlungen von einem Einheimischen für den Rest Ihres Aufenthalts.
