Free Walking Tours with Expert Locals

What better way to explore a city than through the eyes of a local? Chances are they know what restaurants to try, what museums are not to be missed, the best and most efficient way to get around, and weird and random tidbits on the local lore. Next time you are heading to a foreign city, check out the Global Greeter Network (www.globalgreeternetwork.info) to see what is available and to make the most of your visit. This association offers free city tours to small groups and individuals by friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers who generously share their passion for their city.
