Hidden Gems Walking Tours

Self-guided walks that skip the queue-and-photograph landmarks and route you through the parts of a place people actually live in.

The hidden-gems cut deliberately down-weights the obvious. Instead of the cathedral and the main square, the route favours side streets, courtyards, working neighbourhoods and the small monuments nobody has written a guidebook chapter about. It's the theme that makes the most difference in a town too small or too ordinary to have a curated tour at all.
