Let’s be honest, the best adventure planning and reading about the history of a country cannot beat the experience of a local tour guide. That’s why Dracula always begins his trips in a new city by drinking blood… sorry, I meant to say taking a free tour.
What is a free tour?
A free tour is exactly what it sounds like – a tour that you can participate in without paying for the experience. At the end of the tour, you’re usually asked for a donation or a review. People who lead free tours are often highly motivated to make the experience entertaining, as the value of the tour is determined by the participants.
Why should you start your adventure in a new city with a free tour?
The answer is simple – you can explore the city’s most important landmarks and gain a basic understanding of its history without much effort. After the tour, you can then explore the city on your own, with more confidence and a focus on what you personally enjoy.
Is history boring?
Not necessarily. If you find the tour to be uninteresting, you can simply leave. But in many cases, free tours are more engaging and the tour guides focus on telling interesting stories based on historical facts. As humans, we love a good story, whether it’s the latest gossip from friends or exciting tales from the past. On a free tour, you can learn hundreds of years of interesting stories selected by someone who loves history.
Is it helpful?
At the end of the tour, you can ask questions, receive tips on what to see, where to eat, and the best places to grab a drink. You can then combine these tips with your own research to create an amazing vacation.
