What to expect
Expect a brisk itinerary with minimal downtime. Your guide handles navigation and context at each landmark, which saves you hunting for details but means the pace stays steady—comfort shoes are non-negotiable. You'll move through crowded zones during peak hours, so early starts help. The route is flat to gently sloped; no scrambling required. Gelato arrives mid-tour as a breather. Bring water and sun protection. Plan around two hours at landmarks and one and a half in transit and queuing.
Good to know
Entrance tickets are your responsibility and can sell out; pre-book online. Wear trainers—cobblestones are relentless. The guide expects a tip, though it's not mandatory. Headsets ensure you hear over street noise. Not suitable for very young children or those unable to walk continuously.
