Across the 126 options we compare, prices generally fall between $52 and $275, with a median price of around $87. While you may see listings starting as low as $21 or going up to $349, the most common range for a standard guided experience sits in the middle. Private tours tend to be on the higher end of that spread.

Most tours last between 1.5 and 3.3 hours, with a median duration of about 2 hours. This timeframe allows enough time to see key highlights without feeling rushed, though some self-guided or extended cultural walks may run slightly longer.
