FAQs
Arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Your reservation is only held until 10 minutes before the start time; after that, your spot may be given to walk-up guests. Once the tour departs, you may not be able to catch up with the guide.
Plan for about 5 km (3 miles) over nearly 3 hours on mostly flat city streets, with breaks. The tour is wheelchair accessible, but it isn’t recommended if you can’t walk or stand for long periods.
