Guidekin's take

A private walk built around your interests, from the monument exteriors to a museum if you ask ahead, with the guide meeting you at your accommodation in the city and helping book tickets.

Sold in several lengths up to a full day; drinks, tickets and local transport are extra, and the route can be kept step free. 4.74 from 122 reviews at €50 per person.

In our comparison: #12 of 22 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
