What to expect
Expect a genuine walking experience rather than a rushed sightseeing tick-box. Your guide will take you through the atmospheric backstreets of the Old Town, stopping at the architecture and history that actually shaped the city. You'll see the obvious spots—those photographs you've already seen—but you'll also discover why locals prefer certain routes and what lies behind the facades. It's conversational rather than lecture-style: ask questions about anything that catches your eye. The pace is comfortable enough for all fitness levels, with natural breaks built in as you move between neighbourhoods.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for cobblestones. The tour doesn't include meals, drinks, or entry fees to any sites—it's the streets and exteriors you'll explore. Accessible throughout; wheelchairs, prams, and service animals are welcome. Hotel collection and return included.
