Notre conseil voyage n°1

Avant le Jour 1 : Réservez une visite à pied GRATUITE

Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

Un guide local vous fait visiter pendant 2-3 heures en couvrant tous les sites principaux et les trésors cachés. C'est 100% basé sur les pourboires. Les guides ne gagnent que ce que vous leur donnez à la fin, ils donnent donc le meilleur d'eux-mêmes à chaque fois. Récits passionnés, conseils d'initiés, recommandations de restaurants introuvables en ligne.

Faites cela le premier jour. Vous vous repérerez, apprendrez l'histoire et obtiendrez des recommandations personnalisées d'un local pour le reste de votre séjour.
