Take a China Walking Tour to Really Experience Asia - Walk in Japan, Morocco, and Kenya too!

A China walking tour will get right into the heart of this formerly "forbidden" culture. You can't explore the Great Wall by bus!

Hong Kong and Shanghai are easy to navigate if you have a map and an audio tour guide; or you can take a full-week escorted tour of exotic Morocco.

Did You Know Hong Kong was Populated by Pirates? Walk the Great Cities of China and Japan

- Hong Kong Audio Guide - This audio tour can be downloaded to your MP3. Start in the heart of the financial district of Hong Kong, and follow the trail of money and drugs that built this great city. The tour ends with the hip club scene at Lan Kwai Fong.

- Beijing Half-Day Tour of the Great Wall at Mutianyu - This China walking tour goes to a less-visited, older section of the Great Wall. Although it is a bus tour to the Wall, once there, you can walk a section of wall that is steeper and more challenging than the more crowded Badaling section. Better views, and a better workout! The tour also includes a stop at a cloisonne factory.

- Getting to Know Shanghai - This audio tour is exactly as it sounds. You'll get a quick background on the highlights of Shanghai - shopping, dining, nightlife, and how to get around. Then, once you're familiar with the area, you can choose another China walking tour that targets a different, specific area of the city - there are several to choose from.

This nature walk on the highest peak in Thailand has waterfalls, shrines, spectacular views, and hundreds of colorful birds! This is an escorted tour.

Explore the Exotic Egypt, Morocco, or Kenya on an Escorted Waliking Tour

- Women-Only Walking Tours of Kenya - Ontdek Kenya's Women Adventure Travel has designed tours for active women to "get off the bus and see Kenya through a “woman’s eye” in an unhurried pace".

Women of all ages are welcome (many of their participants are over 50), and groups are very small - 4 to 10 people. Highlights of the 7 - 14 day safaris are "soft walks" to see giraffes, zebras, gazelles and warthogs.

- Cairo Photography Walking Tour- This escorted tour not only shows you great places to take photographs, it also shows you how to take great photographs! You'll explore the winding streets of old Cairo and visit the Gate of Victory, Gate of Conquests, and Street of Tentmakers (a medieval covered market).

- Morocco From Fes to Marrakesh - This 12-day tour explores the sights, sounds, and tastes of Morocco! From the city of Fes to a Berber camp in the desert, through mosques and pink sands, you'll experience all this exotic locale has to offer. The tour ends in Marrakesh, and you'll stay in tented camps and restored palaces along the way. (CountryWalkers occasionally offers this tour just for women, with a few extra features - cooking classes and belly dance performances, among others).

Take a China walking tour, or explore Morocco or Kenya on foot - it's the experience of a lifetime!
