Walking Tours are a Great Way to Explore a City - or the Countryside!Walking tours are probably the best way to really explore an area. You may travel from one place to the next by bus, train or plane, but you need to get out there, on foot, to really get to know the city, town, or neighborhood. 
There are guided tours of architecture, history, neighborhoods, and places of interest in every major city in the world.
But did you know that there are also countryside walking tours? You can explore Italy or France outside of the neighborhoods of Rome and Paris, on foot. These walking vacations take you from place to place by motorcoach and allow you to get close to the locals on daily escorted walks. Take a Walk While Enjoying Your Favorite HobbyFrom food tasting in New York City and New Orleans to ghost tours in Savannah, there are tours to suit every taste. You can learn photography (and photograph some great sights!) 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. Literary tours are a great way to get to know the characters in your favorite books. 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! Some walking tours are really outdoor adventure vacations - explore exotic Morocco or take a women's only walking safari in Kenya. Walking provides a much more intimate view of the city or country landscape than a bus tour - and although these are active vacations, you don't have to be in great shape to do it! What about those 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 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. Take a women-only walking safari in Kenya or walk nature trails in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Don't see the world from the back of a bus - get out there and introduce yourself!
