Where Every Fact Comes From

Free Tours Cost Nothing Up Front

Every walk here follows one arrangement: free, pay what you want. Reserving a place costs nothing, and no price, suggested tip or fee appears anywhere on this site. Each walk belongs to an independent local guide, and the reservation itself happens on the walk's own page, on GuruWalk or on freetour.com. Whatever a walker chooses to give a guide afterwards is the walker's decision alone.

Ratings Always Show Their Scale

A rating only means something next to its scale and its source, so every score printed here carries both. GuruWalk walks are rated out of 5, and freetour.com walks are rated out of 10, and each figure is written the same way every time it appears: the score, the scale, the review count and the platform. No average is calculated across the two, because a number out of 5 and a number out of 10 cannot be compared.

Two Platforms, Never Mixed

The walks on this site come from two places: GuruWalk and, for the walk hosted there, freetour.com. The two platforms rate on different scales, so their scores are never averaged, ranked or placed side by side as if they measured the same thing. Each walk is introduced by its platform, its guide where one is named, its meeting point, its duration and its language. This site operates no walk and is affiliated with neither platform.

Who Runs Each Walk

Every walk belongs to an independent local guide, not to this site. Guides are named exactly as their walk pages name them, such as Patricia on GuruWalk, and where a walk's page shows no operator, none is invented here. This site neither operates a tour nor employs a guide, and it takes no payment from walkers at any point. Reservations are made on GuruWalk or on freetour.com's own page for its walk.

Choosing Your Walk

Choosing between walks comes down to facts, not slogans. Each walk page states its meeting point, its duration and its language, and those details do most of the deciding: the Plaza del Azoguejo meeting point next to the tourist office, or the Calle Fernán García corner where the freetour.com walk begins, each an hour and a half in English. Every reservation is free, pay what you want, so the choice carries no financial risk.
