What to expect
This is a solo navigation experience rather than a conventional tour. You'll use WhatsApp to access directions, stories, and media for each stop. The route is deliberately playful—questions and point-scoring encourage curiosity—but the information is serious: genuine historical detail about Roman foundations, medieval architecture, and the Quarter's Jewish heritage. Expect to wander narrower streets that most coach groups skip. You control the rhythm: sprint through in 90 minutes or spend three hours exploring cafés and side passages. Audio runs in the background whilst you look around; nothing's scripted or timed.
