Question 1

What is a free walking tour?

Accepted Answer

A free walking tour is a guided tour where you don't pay a fixed price upfront. Instead, at the end of the tour, you tip the guide based on your satisfaction and experience. This model ensures guides are motivated to deliver excellent tours while making travel experiences accessible to everyone.

Question 2

How much should I tip?

Accepted Answer

Tipping is flexible and depends on your satisfaction. Most travelers tip between €10-20 per person for a 2-3 hour tour. However, you're free to tip whatever feels right based on the experience, your budget, and local customs.

We strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot, especially for popular tours and during peak tourist seasons. However, if spots are available, you can join a tour on the same day.

You can cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours before the tour starts. For cancellations within 24 hours, we ask that you message your guide directly.
