Groups can be large, bookings are limited to small parties and the route is wheelchair friendly. 4.79 from 129 reviews for 2h. **Tip based?:** 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. Trade-off: Tip expected; wine bar evenings only, closed Tue and Wed.
