Guidekin's take

A tip based walk through the historic centre with a glass of wine along the way, taking in the cathedral, the water mirror and the theatre district; the listed price is a booking fee rather than the tour's cost.

Groups can be large, bookings are limited to small parties and the route is wheelchair friendly. 4.79 from 129 reviews for 2h.

Best for: Choose the English only city walk: €2 per person is the booking fee, tip the guide; wine at the bar in the evening. 4.79, 129 reviews. Walking & City Tours comparison

Trade-off: Tip expected; wine bar evenings only, closed Tue and Wed.

In our comparison: #7 of 9 in Walking & City Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
