Free Tour vs Paid Tour — What's the Difference?
Many cities offer 'free' walking tours where guides work on a tips-only basis. These are genuinely free to join and excellent value — tip £10–£15 per person for a good guide.
Paid Viator tours offer guaranteed small group sizes (often 8–15 people), a professional guide with training, and often include access to specific sites or extra experiences the free tours don't offer.
💡 Pro Tip: For your first day in any European city, book a 2–3 hour walking tour as your very first activity. You'll orientate yourself, discover the best local restaurants and bars, and understand the geography before making any other plans.
