Unless you’re trying to get between two points in the city that are simply miles apart, walk around so that you get the feel of the streets. Walking also enables you to stop and take it all in, and if you see a shop, cafe or gallery that looks interesting, you can just pop in!

Most major cities offer tours run by local people, who can design their tours to take in some of the major sites as well as some of the best-kept secrets of the city. Tag along on one of these tours, and you’ll learn loads about how the people who live in the city take pride in the place they live and enjoy its facilities.
Dine Away From the Crowd
More often than not, the cafes and restaurants situated right beside the tourist traps will be overpriced. Often, the food they serve is not particularly authentic, either. As you walk around, try and spot some promising independent places where you could get dinner or a cup of coffee. Eating at restaurants tucked away down side streets often means you get a better meal and overall experience.

]]>One of the main draws of the free walking tours is that they won’t cost you a dime, but that’s not really the case once you read between the lines. If you pay closer attention to the tour’s description, you’ll notice that tipping the tour guide is highly recommended.
This is one of the main unspoken rules that you’re aware of if you’ve ever joined a free walking tour before. If you’re still a newbie and have a very limited budget, you should keep this in mind, even though it’s up to you to determine how big the tip should be.
$10 is the average amount that most people leave behind, but you can leave more or less, depending on how happy you were with your guide. Leaving without a tip is also an option, but it’s considered bad etiquette, especially since many guides only earn from tips.
In addition to the tips, you should also keep in mind that walking tours can come with other costs, from bus tickets and entrance fees to cash for local foods and drinks that you might try along the way. Even though they’re not 100% free, free walking tours are 100% worth it because they allow you to learn a lot about a new city in just two or three hours.

Tipping Your Guide
The most important thing you should know about free walking tours is that they’re not completely free. You should tip your guide accordingly after each one, but it’ll still cost much less than a paid tour.

When you’re exploring the city on your own, it’s ok to make countless tiny stops and take hundreds of pictures, but that’s not the case with free walking tours. Your desires aren’t the only ones that matter, so make sure to be respectful of everyone else’s time, as well.

Be Ready
Regular walking tours usually take around three hours, so pack everything you need before joining one. A water bottle, some snacks, and a power bank should be on your list and check the weather forecast so you could dress accordingly.

]]>Walking Tour
Every big city offers walking tours and many of them advertise as “free tours” where you pay based off of a tip at the end. Not only do walking tours help you learn your way around the city, but they will also teach you bits of interesting history and give you tips of what to see and how to best utilize your time. It’s a great way to start a visit!
History Museum
Every city and country is unique and most of the time, history has played a major role in that. Who ruled them in the past? What wars have they fought in? What are the climate and region like? History museums will answer many of these questions and give you a better understanding of the culture in each city.
Local Restaurant
One thing that everyone enjoys and has in common is bonding over food. Locals always appreciate when tourists go to the smaller, locally owned shops and many times they will be happy to strike up a conversation about what it’s like to live there. What better way to get to know the city than talking to a local, small business owner who makes great food!

]]>Quick Plan
Anyone who’s ever planned their own trip knows how excruciating it can be. If you’re looking for a way to skip this step altogether, walking tours are just the thing for you. Your guide knows exactly where to go and you can learn a lot from them.
Friendly Environment
Walking tours are perfect for solo travelers, looking forward to meeting new people. Instead of doing everything on your own, you can stumble upon many like-minded individuals who are willing to explore the rest of the city together once the tour is over.
Seriously though, I've put a lot of effort in that video so please please check it out. It is super informative and I hope you like it

Good Advice
No matter how much research you do before your trip, there are still some things that Google doesn’t know. Your tour guides, however, can tell you where you can find the best street foods and souvenirs, so make sure to leave them a nice tip.

]]>You book the flight, and you’re ready to travel!
Fast-forward to three months in the future, when you’re about to board your flight. What if you realized that you never did any research about the city you visited. Is this going to be a wasted vacation?!
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be. Nearly all cities with any type of tourist tradition offer tours of their historic centers and their most important sights for visitors to see. These walking tours are a fantastic way to get an overview of the must-see spots at your destination, and it does the majority of your prep work for you!
Instead of desperating flipping through a tourist attraction book or a website before arriving at your destination, I recommend booking a city walking tour instead. It’s best to do it at the beginning of your trip in order to get oriented and have a feel for the city.
