Frequently Asked Questions

What is a free tour?: A "free tour" is a concept in tourism where a guided tour is offered without a set upfront cost. Instead of charging a fixed price, these tours operate on a pay-what-you-like or tips-based model. At the end of the tour, participants are encouraged to give the guide a tip based on their satisfaction with the tour and their personal budget. This model makes the tours accessible to a wider range of travelers, as it allows them to decide how much they think the tour was worth or what they can afford.
How much should I tip the guide?: The appropriate amount to tip a guide on a free tour can vary depending on several factors. The main factors are the tour quality, its duration, and your budget. In general, we recommend tipping about €15-20 per guest.
Should I book this tour in advance?: Yes. The number of participants is limited, so we encourage you to book your spot in advance by using the Book Now Button and completing the form. You will receive a confirmation email with the date and time of your booked tour.
Could the entire tour be canceled or rescheduled?: The simple reason is Yes. The entire tour could be canceled in case of emergencies. In such a situation, you will be notified by email up to 4 hours before the tour starts. Please check your before going to the meeting point.
