Walks began life as the passion project of two guys with one simple mission: To share their love for, and knowledge of, the city of Rome. Since then, Walks has grown into a team of over 100 ground staff and at any time up to 600 guides, operating across 13 of the world’s most exciting cities (and counting!) Today we provide some of the most exclusive and beautifully designed small group tours in the industry through Italy-based Walks of Italy and around the world at Walks, where we offer special access to some of the world’s most iconic landmarks and attractions as well as unique cultural experiences. At Walks we don’t just copy and paste standard tours, we strive to always find new and better ways to explore even the most familiar attractions. Whether it’s after-hours drinks at the Met Museum, time alone in St. Mark’s Basilica, a true crime tour of the streets of New York, or a luxury wine tasting in the Loire Valley, Walks tours provide the most memorable experiences with high quality expeditions that are just a little bit different.
