NOTES:
1. Dear guest, in case the tour is booked by 4 people or less, I am really sorry but the tour will probably be canceled. We will try to find a solution so that we can do the tour. However, I will notify you the day before the tour.
2. Dear guest, the tour is scheduled to last about 3 hours but depending on the walking pace of all participants, it may take longer.
3. Dear guest, for our convenience, the start time of the tour may change depending on the weather, especially during the summer to avoid the heat or when bad weather is expected. We will decide and agree together the day before the tour.
4. Dear guest, free tours do not have a set price and each person leaves at the end of the tour to the guide, the amount they deem appropriate (depending on the level of satisfaction) but the minimum required is 12 euros per person (even though Guru Walk suggests 15 euros) considering that I as a guide pay the Guru Walk platform a commission of 2.25 euros for each person participating in the tour.
Thank you for your time. Best regards. See you soon. 😊
Bris.
