Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

The tour involves significant walking on uneven cobblestone streets and includes an optional climb up the Cathedral bell tower. Those with mobility constraints should discuss feasibility with the supplier when booking.

What's included in the tour price?

The 2-hour guided walk covers all major sites mentioned plus a tasting of traditional Maraschino liqueur at a local café. Hotel pickup/drop-off is included for private tours.

Can I skip the bell tower climb?

Yes—the bell tower visit is part of the planned route, but you can opt out. The guide can suggest alternative viewpoints or wait at the base while others climb.

How many people are on a private tour?

This is a private tour, meaning it's exclusively for your group. Group size isn't specified here—confirm your party size and any maximum capacity with the supplier.

Is the Sea Organ worth seeing if there are no waves?

The Sea Organ produces sound only when waves move through its underwater pipes. In very calm conditions, the acoustic effect is minimal, but the installation itself and surrounding waterfront remain visually striking.

What language is the tour conducted in?

Language options aren't specified in the tour details. Contact the supplier directly to confirm guide language availability for your booking.
