How long it takes and what to know
Duration
The route normally takes 2 – 3 h. We adjust the pace and the scope to the group, so if you have less time we will shorten it without dropping what matters most.
Admission tickets
The guiding fee does not cover admission to museums and ticketed sites. Several of them sell timed entry and are often booked out days ahead in season, so it is worth mentioning them when you book.
Booking a date
Tell us how many of you there are, when you plan to come and roughly how much time you have. We normally reply the same day, with a suggested route and a price.
