Our Tours
Our tours are really FREE… okay, free in the sense that we don’t charge a fixed fee like other tour operators; we work on TIPS only. Out of these tips we cover our marketing costs, buy our nice green umbrellas and T-shirts, and then we also must earn a living.
ALL our guides are qualified professionals and for most of them this is their only source of income. The difference is that we believe so much in our ability to make these tours worth your while, that we are willing to allow you to determine how much it was worth to you AFTER we’ve completed the tour.
We don’t know too many companies that have this “guest-first” approach. There are however NO obligations and you only tip what you feel the tour was worth to you.
