Why join a walking tour?

If you’re looking for a fun and healthy way to explore a new city, a walking tour with a local guide is the perfect solution. Not only do you get to discover hidden gems often missed by those in cars or on buses, but you also get to engage in some good old-fashioned exercise! Walking is one of the simplest yet most effective forms of exercise, and when combined with the excitement of learning about a new place, it becomes a memorable adventure.

Walking tours can work wonders for your physical and mental health. Did you know that just 30 minutes of walking can burn around 150 calories? Plus, it's low-impact and suitable for virtually anyone. As you stroll through the city streets, you'll be improving your cardiovascular health, strengthening your bones, and boosting your mood!

Plus, there’s also something therapeutic about being outside, breathing fresh air and enjoying a change of scenery.

Local guides

One of the standout perks of a walking tour is the context it provides to the places you visit. Local guides are treasure troves of information! They often share fascinating stories, cultural insights, and historical facts that you simply won't find in guidebooks. This interactive experience makes learning much more engaging and enjoyable.
