Where The Facts Come From
Every Walk Is Free To Book
Every walk here follows one model: free to book, pay what you want at the end. The site carries 3 free walking tours in English (1 on GuruWalk, 2 on freetour.com), and no price, minimum or suggested amount is printed for any of them, because none exists. Paseicos, Paraguas Rojos and Mystic Xperience each run their own walks, and a reservation is made on the GuruWalk page or on freetour.com's own page for the walk. This site takes no payment from walkers and operates none of the tours. What a walker gives afterwards is that walker's choice alone.
Each Rating Names Its Scale
A score tells you little on its own, so every rating on this site is printed with the scale it came from and the platform behind it. Walks listed on GuruWalk are scored out of 5, while walks listed on freetour.com are scored out of 10. The pattern never changes: score first, then the scale, then the number of reviews and the platform name. The Old Town walk by Paseicos therefore appears as rated 4.96 out of 5 across 591 GuruWalk reviews, and Mystic Xperience's Secrets, Legends and Photo Spots walk appears as rated 9.4 out of 10 across 78 freetour.com reviews. The two scales are never blended into a single figure.
Keeping The Scales Apart
English walks here sit on two platforms. GuruWalk carries Indispensable Zaragoza Free Tour: Old Town, run by Paseicos, while freetour.com carries the Free Monumental Tour of Zaragoza by Paraguas Rojos and Unforgettable Zaragoza Free Tour: Secrets, Legends and Photo Spots by Mystic Xperience. Because GuruWalk scores out of 5 and freetour.com out of 10, the numbers are never averaged, ranked or compared as though they measured the same thing. Every walk is described by its platform, its guide or operator, its meeting point, its duration and its language. No walk is run by this site, which is affiliated with neither platform.
