"WALKING TOURS" Page 1, 2, 3

Tour companies

Here and on page 3, you'll find links to businesses and organizations that sponsor walking tours in various European cities. This list represents only a small sample of cities and tour companies; it is not meant to be exhaustive. If the vendors here don't meet your needs, visit the Google search engine at www.google.com and enter a phrase such as "[City name] walking tours" in the search window.

Also, if you prefer self-guided tours to groups, you can buy guidebooks that have walking itineraries. Arthur Frommer has a Memorable Walks series with books for London and Paris, and the Companion Guides from Britain are excellent choices for travelers with an interest in art and history. Better yet, buy a Michelin Green Guide to the city you're visiting and create your own walking itineraries--or just start walking and consult your guidebook whenever you see a building, street, or monument that looks interesting enough to read about.
