Meie #1 reisinõuanne

Enne 1. päeva: Broneeri TASUTA jalutuskäik

Tasuta jalutuskäigud. Jah, tõesti tasuta. Kaarti ei ole vaja. Püüniseid pole.

Kohalik giid, 2-3 tundi

Peamised vaatamisväärsused, peidetud pärlid, kohalikud lood

100% jootraha põhine

Giidid teenivad ainult jootraha, seega annavad nad parima

Sa annad jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks

Lõpus annad lihtsalt jootraha nii palju kui tunned õigeks

Olen neid teinud paljudes linnades ja need on olnud peaaegu iga reisi tipphetk. Kui külastad Funchal, Portugal, tee seda esimesel päeval. Sa tänad mind hiljem.
