Guidekin's take

A pay what you want walk with a licensed guide that takes the city's story from the Etruscans to today, with each tour leader following their own route and passions rather than a fixed script.

The €3 per person is a booking fee only; you pay the guide what you think it was worth at the end, and the walk lasts 2h 15m. Rated 4.83 by 321 travellers.

In our comparison: #5 of 11 in Walking & City Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
