The duration of the tours varies considerably, offering options between 60 and 180 minutes.

Considering the price range and duration, these tours are best suited for individuals or small groups who appreciate exploring a city on foot at a relaxed pace. If you're short on time and simply want to get your bearings, a shorter tour would be ideal.
