Nossa dica de viagem nº 1

Antes do Dia 1: Reserve um tour a pé GRATUITO

Tours a pé gratuitos. Sim, realmente gratuitos. Sem necessidade de cartão de crédito. Sem pegadinhas.

Um guia local te leva por 2-3 horas cobrindo todos os principais pontos e joias escondidas. É 100% baseado em gorjetas. Os guias só ganham o que você der no final, então eles dão o seu melhor toda vez. Narrativas apaixonadas, dicas internas, recomendações de restaurantes que você não encontrará online.

Faça isso no seu primeiro dia. Você vai se orientar, aprender a história e receber recomendações pessoais de um local para o restante da sua estadia.
