First hour for selection, last hour for discounts, pick one. Do a full lap before spending, photograph booths you might return to, and get the vendor's card or social handle for anything you're unsure about, since most sell online year-round. Set a cash cap for impulse buys, and carry purchases in your own tote so nothing gets set down and forgotten.
Walking tours mostly run in light rain, ponchos on, stories continue, and cancel only for storms, usually with rebooking or refunds offered by text a few hours ahead. Festivals soldier through drizzle but cancel for lightning, and grass venues turn to mud that outlasts the rain by a day. Check the operator's weather policy at booking and their social feed before leaving.
The good ones are history tours wearing a cape: crime, fire, plague, and architecture stories you'd never get on a daytime walk, delivered theatrically after dark. Skeptics should pick tours marketed on history and storytelling over ones selling ghost-hunting equipment sessions. Read recent reviews for the guide's name, since the teller makes or breaks it, and go in for the stories.
