Guidekin's take

A private walk with a local host rather than a licensed guide, shaped around your interests and sold in lengths from two to six hours.

Entrance fees for you and the host are extra, so keep it to streets and campi unless you budget for museums. 4.62 from 152 reviews at €55 per person.

In our comparison: #17 of 22 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
