Each tour follows a curated itinerary that highlights certain aspects of the city.
“All Killer No Filler” tours focus on the must-see, most iconic views of the city. This is for those who want to tick all the boxes and don’t mind sharing space with other visitors! Tickets to go inside iconic museums are not included.
“The Perfect 24H” tours focus on spending a beautiful, relaxing day in the city you’re visiting. You’ll still get iconic views, but expect more hidden corners, beautiful boutiques and tasty delicacies to sample. You’ll encounter some tourists but also enjoy quite corners and pretty backstreets.
“Off-The-Beaten-Path” Tours focus on niche itineraries: they may be taking you to a lesser known part of town or show you the city under a particular cultural lens. Perfect if you’ve got specific interests or don’t want to just see the main sights!
