Who better to explore a city with than a local?
Besides using our 80 city guides another way to experience the city is through free walking tours. They are a great way to get to know a city on a tight budget, and with little time. It makes for a chill way to explore. Apart from having a nice experience exploring the city, these tours are great ways to meet locals and fellow travelers!
