Privacy Policy

Think of these pages as a printed guidebook that happens to live online. There is no account to create, no newsletter box, no comment field and no checkout, because the site sells nothing and requests nothing. A typical visit might read about the Cenacolo Vinciano opening free on the first Sunday of the month, or about a pay-what-you-want walk around the Duomo led by a local guide, and then it ends. Whatever the visit covers, it never covers handing over a single detail about yourself.

What Gets Recorded

One analytics script runs quietly in the background and reports only in broad strokes: which pages were opened, a rough country, a device category, and which outbound links to GuruWalk or freetour.com were followed. That last signal carries the most weight, since it shows whether a page about, say, the Wonders of Milan walk actually sent readers to the guide. Nothing personal sits behind any of those numbers. No names, email addresses, card details or travel documents exist on this side, for the plain reason that no page here ever asks for them.

Cookies And Other Sites

The cookie count on these pages stays low. The measurement script drops a few of its own so it can tell pages apart. Anything further arrives from elsewhere: an embedded map marking the meeting point of a Milan walk, for instance, is served by the mapping provider, and whatever that provider stores falls under its own policy rather than this one. Embedded video behaves the same way. Nothing here assembles a profile of a reader that follows them onto other websites.

Each walk link leads to a live listing on GuruWalk or freetour.com, where the guide actually runs the tour. Click through and that platform may set its own cookie so a booking can be traced back to this site, which is how the site earns money without adding a cent to what you decide to tip. From that click onward you are on the platform's terms and the guide's, not these pages'. The full explanation, including how the referral works, is on the disclosure page.

The Short Version

• Nothing you do here is passed along to any third party, ever.
• No advertising networks, retargeting pixels or social media trackers load anywhere on these pages.
• Nothing here asks for an email: no newsletter, no account, no sign-up of any kind.
• This site sells nothing and runs no tours of its own. Reserving a spot on any walk happens on the guide's own GuruWalk or freetour.com listing, and the confirmation arrives from that platform too, so no booking detail ever touches this site.
• No page here carries a form. The contact page opens your own mail app instead, so a message travels from your inbox straight to us and never sits on a form or server here.

Hosting

This site runs on a third-party hosting provider, and that host keeps ordinary server logs, IP addresses included, for routine security and abuse prevention. Those records exist to keep the pages online and protected. Nobody mines them to profile readers, and no one goes looking through them to connect an IP address to the walks a visitor compares or the pages they open.

Your Choices

Readers keep control. Tracking protection, an ad blocker or a Do Not Track setting stops the analytics script from loading, and every page still works as written when it does. Switching JavaScript off costs you only the mobile menu. Anyone who would rather leave no footprint at all can skip this site entirely and reserve each walk straight through GuruWalk or freetour.com, since every guide featured here runs their tours on those platforms.

Anything unclear can be raised through the contact page. The disclosure details give the full picture of how this site earns money while staying independent.
