Guidekin's take

A private walk led by a licensed historian rather than a guide, pitched at people who want dates and sources with their stories.

Nothing beyond the guiding is included, so entries and food are on you. 5 from 38 reviews at €120 per person for 3h.

In our comparison: #21 of 40 in Private Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
