You know what they say...you get what you pay for. ‘Pay what you like’ tours are guided by freelance guides that develop the tours themselves. Who are the guides? How historically accurate are the tours? Can you ask them questions along the way? Big Onion prides itself on its deeply researched, factual and fun tours. We hire and pay real historians to give you a glimpse into the fascinating history behind the city and encourage discourse throughout the tour.
