We usually advise booking in advance, particularly during peak tourist season, to secure your preferred slot. Most walking tours operate on a policy of free cancellation up until a certain timeframe prior to the tour's start – check the specific details for each tour you are considering.
Before confirming any booking, we strongly recommend carefully reviewing the tour description and paying particular attention to its duration, price, and most importantly, the rating provided by previous visitors. You’ll find this information clearly presented alongside each tour listing on our website.
