Every major city in the world has walking tours of its architecture, history, neighborhoods, and places of interest.
But did you know that there are also country walking tours? You can explore Italy or France outside of the neighborhoods of Rome and Paris, on foot.
From food tasting tours in
New York City and New Orleans
to ghost tours in Savannah, there are walking tours to suit every taste.
You can learn photography (and photograph some great sights!) on a walking tour in New York or
Cairo, Egypt.
You can hear scary stories on ghost tours in New Orleans or Savannah, or try to find Jack the Ripper in London.
While in
London,
you can see some of the places that inspired the Harry Potter novels. In Paris, follow the trail of the Da Vinci Code.
Culinary tours are popular all over the world, from chocolate tasting tours in New York and
Paris
, to wine and pasta tours in Italy - or San Francisco's North Beach!
Walking provides a much more intimate view of the city or country landscape - and you don't have to be in great shape to do it!
What about those walking tours in the countryside?
You don't literally walk across an entire country, but after being driven from one city or town to the next, you explore each destination on foot. These one to two-week escorted tours cover North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa and allow you to get out of the bus and get up close to the culture you're visiting. It's sightseeing at its best.
Imagine walking through the vineyards of Tuscany, enjoying great food and wine along the way. Or experience the sights and sounds of Morocco, sleeping in desert tents or a restored palace and interacting with people of the Berber tribes. Walk the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal or nature trails in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Don't see the world from the back of a bus - get out there and introduce yourself!
All of these experiences, and more, await you on a walking tour!
