walking tour

Pedestrian sightseeing excursion

A walking tour is a guided or self-guided exploration of an area on foot, typically focusing on historical sites, architecture, or local culture.

Walking tours follow planned routes through neighborhoods, landmarks, or natural areas: We took a walking tour of the old city.

The format allows for unhurried observation and access to places vehicles can't reach.
