Il nostro consiglio di viaggio #1

Prima del Giorno 1: Prenota un tour a piedi GRATUITO

Tour a piedi gratuiti. Sì, davvero gratuiti. Nessuna carta di credito richiesta. Nessun trucco.

Una guida locale ti accompagna per 2-3 ore coprendo tutti i luoghi principali e i tesori nascosti. È basato al 100% sulle mance. Le guide guadagnano solo ciò che dai loro alla fine, quindi danno sempre il massimo. Racconti appassionati, consigli da insider, raccomandazioni di ristoranti che non troverai online.

Fallo il primo giorno. Ti orienterai, imparerai la storia e riceverai raccomandazioni personali da un locale per il resto del tuo soggiorno.
