Free tours, initial contact with the city
Free tour is a formula for getting to know the tourist destinations at the price determined by travelers.
The tours have an important social componen. It is common to see a good harmony between the people who form the group.
Something relatively fresh
Some might think that Free Tours have existed for a lifetime. Quite the opposite, it was a few years ago when they began to spread through countless capitals and towns with great tourist development or on the
way.
There are many companies specialized in these visits on foot. In our opinion, it’s the most democratic model in our century. We want to highlight, everyone has an opportunity to receive information about the place without having to pay a previously set price. It will be at the end of the tour when the intrepid traveler judges the guide’s work and gives him or her a freely determined amount of money.
The concept
There is no ticket, there is no prior reservation requirement,available all 365 days a year or almost all (in some marked holidays, such as Christmas Day, the tours might not take place).
We might wonder how it’s possible for this model to function; and it is very simple: the generous tips given by enthusiastic visitors cover various advertising expenses and salaries of the employees.
Everyone decides how to evaluate the lived experience.
On the guide´s side, his motivation, people and communication skills, clarity in the speech, sympathy, etc. will be the keys to being fairly appreciated.
Duration
The duration can vary but on average it could be said that the estimated time is from 2 hours to 2 hours and a half.

Living in a city where every street hides interesting, unexpected stories
