Frequently asked questions
Will I be back before the ship leaves?
Yes, absolutely. Every shore excursion is designed with your cruise schedule in mind. We monitor ship timetables, plan with generous buffers, and keep things smooth and stress-free. You’ll be back with time to spare — no sprinting down the pier required
How big are the groups?
Intimate and civilised. Most of our tours run with 4 to 7 guests — just enough for conversation, never enough for cattle-herding. Private options are available if you prefer your own pace and playlist
Where do we meet?
We meet you just outside the port — a short, easy walk from your ship. You’ll receive clear instructions, a map, and even a photo of the meeting spot. No guesswork, no wandering
Is there a lot of walking involved?
Our pace is gentle, not gym-worthy. Expect light strolling on mostly flat ground, with occasional cobblestones or steps. We always adapt where possible — just let us know your comfort level
Will the whole tour be guided?
Yes — but think stories and secrets, not lectures and flags. You’ll get the history, the hidden corners, and the cultural context… with room for coffee breaks, photos, and quiet enjoyment
Is food or wine included?
Some tours include tastings — details will be in the itinerary. Otherwise, we point you to excellent local spots where you can dine like you actually live there
What language is the tour in?
Our tours are in English, French or Russian, delivered with a warm accent and a twist of humour
What happens if it rains?
We carry on unless the weather turns dramatic. A bit of drizzle won’t stop us — and often makes the colours richer. For serious storms, we’ll offer a refund or alternative plan
How do I book and pay?
Booking is simple and secure — just follow the link or message us directly. We accept cash, credit cards and bank transfers. No hidden fees, no mystery surcharges — just a good day, fairly priced
Can I book a private version of the tour?
Of course. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family, or a happy introvert, private tours are a wonderful way to explore at your own rhythm. We tailor everything to suit your time, interests, and tempo
