FAQ's

Is this a private experience?
Yes. The experience is fully private and reserved for your family only. Please note that the places visited are public sites and may be shared with other visitors.
Is there a lot of walking during the tour?
Because our tours are designed for families with children, we make sure the distances remain reasonable and the pace is adapted. The route includes regular stops at viewpoints and landmarks, and passes through lively neighborhoods where small cafés and local shops can be found if you wish to take a short break. This helps keep the walk comfortable and enjoyable for children and adults alike.
Are the parents staying with the children or separated?
We always promote a family-bonding moment, where parents and children enjoy an activity together as a family. So, parents and children will not be separated. However, if you choose to send your children on this activity alone, it is possible, provided that a babysitter accompanies the children regardless of the age, for insurance purposes (our guides are not responsible for the children).
Is it suitable for kids under 6 years old?
We recommend this walking tour for kids aged 6 or older, because they must know how to read and write in order to enjoy the fun-filled game booklet. Younger kids can join, and they will enjoy it, but they will not be able to play the game, unless a parent or older sibling helps. Please keep in mind that our guides are not babysitters.
Will my teenage kids like the tour?
Sure they will. They might not want to have the game booklet, but since it is a private tour, our professional guide will adapt their speech to keep your teenagers engaged and entertained throughout the tour.
What about summer when it is very hot?
The tour still operates in summer. We recommend booking in the morning, when temperatures are lower. The route also includes many indoor visits, which makes the experience more comfortable during warmer months.
