How long is the tour and what exactly do you see if you do not enter any monuments?
The tour lasts 2 hours. It is a panoramic, introductory walk through the historic Old Town, without entry to any monuments. The aim is to give you a clear historical context so you can decide afterwards which sites you would like to explore from the inside.
In which languages is the tour available, and what happens if we are a large group?

Yes. If you are looking for something a little different, we also offer a night-time free tour of legends and mysteries. It departs at 20:30 from Plaza de la Marina and lasts approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
