Free Walking Tours in Paris, London, New York & Other Interesting Cities

I took a free walking tour in Paris last week and discovered it was just as good as some of the tours with paid private guides. You aren't the only one on the tour, of course, but it was fun to chat along the way with travelers from other countries who also wanted to learn more about Montmartre, where Renoir, Van Gogh and other painters lived and worked.

You'll find free walking tours in Paris, London, New York City, San Francisco and many other cities around the world. If you're happy with the tour, just tip the guide. The guides are locals who know a great deal about the area you want to explore, so they take a chance that you'll tip them well. I've found and listed several links to companies offering free walking tours.
