An indispensable part of any holiday next to
sunbathing and relaxing in the midst of nature, certainly is a
tour of the surrounding towns and sightseeing. When going on a tour of large cities, be sure to
hire a guide and join one of the organized tours. But did you know that it is also possible to take a
free guided tour? Finding the right travel guide has
never been easier!
A Free Walking Tour is an
increasingly popular form of a guided tour service offered by many
professional tour guides in Croatia as well as
amateur tour guides. Why is this form of guided tours becoming increasingly popular? Numerous websites offer a handful of options of free walking tours. Some of the
most popular apps that you can use when looking for a free city tour in Croatia are e.g. GuruWalk, Civitatis, Free Tour, Free Tours by Foot, Getyourguide, but also many others.
You are probably wondering how to use an app to select a perfect tour that would suit your needs. In the apps listed above, you will find a wide variety of different tourist tours
that suit your interests.
After you have downloaded an app, all you have to do is
select the appropriate destination and tour date. Then the app offers you all the options that are available and meet your criteria. When reviewing the offer, a
brief description will appear next to the name of the tour - which route you will take, which sights you will visit, what are the specifics of this tour. If you are afraid that the guide you selected does not meet your criteria, don't worry! Every description of the selected tour shows also how
previous participants rated the quality of the tour.
What distinguishes the
Free Walking Tour from a classic guided tour is that the service does
not have to be paid for in advance, as the name itself implies. At the end of the tour participants rate the tour guide's job by making a donation in the amount
they deem appropriate.
Since the desire to raise the highest possible donation is the
strongest motivation for the guide to do their job well, you can be sure that a free walking tour will provide
first class service and an
unforgettable experience. As the competition in the market increases, you will find more and more tours that stand out from the rest in some ways. So if you choose to do this type of guided tour, explore all of the options and choose exactly the ones that you find most interesting.
If you are one of those tourists who prefer to explore the cultural sights
on their own and customize the tour according to your interests, we have good news.
The GPSmyCity app offers a wide range of
popular travel destinations in Croatia. Once you have selected the city you want to visit, choose those from the numerous attractions and sights that seem interesting to you. Then all you have to do is enter the place where you want to start the tour. The app will give you the
best route with all the necessary information about each place you will visit. Planning your vacation has never been easier!
In addition to the
large selection of guided tours that you can find in the apps listed above, many tourist associations offer free tours in their city at certain times of the year in consultation with licensed tour guides. If you are already planning to spend your vacation in
one of our villas on the Adriatic, be sure to find out what options are available to you when
exploring the area.
