Free tours are intended for couples or individual travellers, and that is why in the majority of guruwalks, there is a limit of 6 people per booking because more than that is considered a large group.

n case you are a group larger than 6, you should check the section Who is this tour for?, which you will find in the description of your tour. This indicates whether larger bookings are allowed or not:

🙃😬 If your tour does not allow bookings for large groups or more than 6 people, unfortunately, it is not possible to join that tour. This clause is determined directly by the Guru/guide to maintain the quality of the tour or due restrictions of the city and we cannot intervene in this situation.

It is crucial that you follow this rule and don’t make different bookings for the same group. These will be detected by the system and the guide has the right to cancel them either prior the event or as you arrive at the meeting point, which would be extremely uncomfortable for both parties not to mention the rest of the travellers.

Please see below the main reasons why a Guru does not accept bookings for large groups:

😶‍🌫️ No-shows or late arrivals

This represents a significant loss for the guide, since they block places that are not filled. Other travellers also miss out on these.

☹️ They pay less

They usually make joint payments with smaller amounts per person (at Guruwalk we suggest a payment of 10-50 euros per person based on the experience).

💣 Behavioural issues

They pay less attention, talk among themselves and disturb the rest of the group.

Having said that, there are Gurus willing to accept large groups as long as they ensure a minimum payment for their services, they agree to behave accordingly  and have a small guarantee that if you are not going to attend, you will cancel so someone else can book.

If a guru accepts group bookings, you will see an informative screen once you try to book. Your card details will be requested, but GuruWalk will only charge you a small penalty if you do not attend the tour and do not cancel with more than 24 hours in advance. The payment must be made directly to the Guru at the meeting point before starting the Tour. 

We will never charge you when you book,  payment will be made directly to the Guru.

Remember, if a guru detects a group booking divided in several bookings, he has the right to cancel it prior the event or at the meeting point. Do not risk your booking, plan ahead and follow Guruwalk’s guidelines.
