More about our tours

Public and private tours

Our public tours are available on fixed days and at set times. When you do a public tour, you will be in a small group (max. 10 people) with other guests. This gives you the chance to meet new people and make new friends as you immerse yourself in a truly local experience. Public tours allow for limited customization, but do make provision for aspects such as special dietary requirements.

Our private tours are much more flexible and can generally be planned according to your own schedule. When you do a private tour, you will not be joined on the tour by other guests, but you will still have plenty of opportunities to interact with your tour guide and the local vendors who work with us to ensure that you have an exceptional experience.

With all our tours, we offer additional services to help make your experience as relaxed, carefree, and comfortable as possible. You can read more about these services by clicking through to the tour(s) you are interested in, or by contacting us with your questions and requests.

Special rates for children

Discounted rates are available for children under the age of 18. You can view the exact rates per tour by using the booking calendars on the individual tour pages.

Social and interactive tours

Our tours are designed to be social and highly interactive. This means that you don’t spend the whole tour listening to your guide telling stories, but that you get to ask many questions, have a hands-on experience, and have interesting conversations with the people you meet along the way.

Many of our guests, including solo travelers, make new friends and end up having drinks and socializing together after our tours.

Gift cards for tours

You can also buy gift cards for our tours. This way, you can give the gift of a unique experience to your family, friends, or colleagues. These digital gift cards can be used when booking any of our tours, and you can choose the value of the gift card upon purchase.
