Our take
This is a different format from the classic tour, more conversation than history lecture, and it works well on a first visit when you want your bearings and good food tips. If you are after a thorough monument-by-monument tour, an official-guide walk is a better fit.

The experience
What you will see

- Lesser-known spots: courtyards, cafés and streets off the usual circuit.
- Whatever you choose: monuments, street art, shops or places to eat.
How it works
You book, choose a time and meet your local guide. There is no script: you say what interests you and the walk takes shape over roughly two hours, with tips for the rest of your stay.
Who I recommend it for
