The Experience
Before You Go
Timing for light and crowds
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and to catch the best light for photos of the Puente Nuevo and the gorge.
Footwear matters
Wear supportive shoes with good traction—cobblestones and short flights of uneven steps are common on this route.
Hydrate smartly
Bring a refillable water bottle; local cafes sell drinks but water can be scarce in summer.
Customize your focus
Tell the guide if you prefer deeper history, architecture, or photography so the private tour emphasizes your interests.
