There’s really no greater way of getting to know a new city than that on foot, where you can sightsee, smells, tastes, and vistas directly. As ardent walkers, we’ve compiled a list of our best-guided tours in several of the world’s most popular destinations. We have a tour for you whether you choose to focus on history, artwork, gastronomy, or culture.
