How to pick a good walking tour
- Free tours are paid in tips at the end. Paid tours cap the group size and usually go deeper into one theme.
- Wear shoes you can walk in for two to three hours, often on cobbles or hills.
- Book an early start in hot months. Guides keep to the shade, but midday streets still bake.
- Pick one theme (old town, food, history, street art) rather than a tour that tries to cover the whole city.
