Ennen ensimmäistä päivää: Varaa ILMAINEN kävelykierros
Ilmaiset kävelykierrokset. Kyllä, oikeasti ilmaiset. Ei luottokorttia. Ei piilokuluja.
Paikallinen opas, 2-3 tuntia
Tärkeimmät nähtävyydet, piilotetut helmet, paikalliset tarinat
100 % tippi-pohjainen
Oppaat ansaitsevat vain tippien kautta, joten he antavat parastaan
Tipaat sen mukaan, mikä tuntuu oikealta
Lopuksi tipaat sen, minkä koet oikeaksi
Olen tehnyt näitä monissa kaupungeissa ja ne ovat olleet lähes jokaisen matkani kohokohta. Jos vierailet kohteessa Sicily, Italy, tee tämä ensimmäisenä päivänä. Kiität minua myöhemmin.
