What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and you'll discuss what you'd like to see before setting off. Rather than following a fixed route, they adapt based on your energy, curiosity, and the day's conditions. You might explore preserved merchant houses, peek into family-run workshops, or catch a local market in full swing. Your guide handles navigation and context, leaving you free to absorb the town's rhythms. Four hours moves quickly, so prioritise what matters most early on.
