Footprints Tours represents a new approach to sightseeing. The idea started because we don't like seeing tourists exploited: we think it's crazy to ask you to pay for a tour before you have experienced it.

So when you take one of our tours, you, the customer, decide how good the tour has been, and voluntarily give just as much as you want.
