NOTES:
1. Dear guest, if the tour is booked by 4 people or fewer, I'm truly sorry, but the tour will likely be canceled. We'll try to find a solution so we can run the tour. However, I will notify you the day before the tour.
2. Dear guest, the tour is scheduled to last approximately 3 hours, but depending on the walking pace of all participants, it may take longer.
3. Dear guest, for our convenience, the tour start time may change depending on the weather, especially during the summer to avoid the heat or when bad weather is forecast. We will decide and agree on this the day before the tour.
4. Dear guest, free tours do not have a set price, and each person leaves the guide an amount they deem appropriate at the end of the tour (depending on their level of satisfaction). However, the minimum required is 12 euros per person (although Guru Walk suggests 15 euros), taking into account that, as a guide, I pay the Guru Walk platform a commission of 2.25 euros for each person who participates in the tour.
Thanks for your time. Best regards. See you soon. 😊
Bris.
