Tourist Guide
The guide is a professional figure who has a background of art, archaeology, history or architecture and has an official license to be a guide in the territory for which he/she has taken exams for. For the guide service, the price is determined by how long the tour lasts (usually from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 7 hours.) This is the touring time for which you pay for; no charge is applied during lunch break which can vary from a minimum of 30 minute to a maximum of 1 hour.
Transportation
Transportation is furnished by professionals only, with insurance, who are licensed to perform public transportation service. The limo-minibus-bus company charges depending on the type of vehicle, mileage and time.
Rates
The cost of the service is determined by the combination of the use of the guide and of the transportation. We can also offer a guide only (walking tours), or private transportation only (transfers and drives with no guidance). Sometimes private transportation is not necessary and we can take vantage of the public transportation service (busses, taxi cabs, subway).
