GuruWalk - Free tours

GuruWalk is your gateway to discovering the world’s cities in a unique and immersive way. Offering free walking tours in over 800 cities worldwide, the app connects travelers with passionate local guides—called Gurus—who love sharing the culture, curiosities, and lifestyle of their cities. 

How GuruWalk Works

GuruWalk allows you to browse and book free walking tours in the city you’re visiting. You can check essential details about each tour, such as the languages offered, schedule and dates, thematic focus, places visited, ratings, and comments from previous travelers (Walkers). You can also learn more about the guide (Guru), including their experience and personality, and get clear instructions about the meeting point and how to recognize them. Gurus may also contact you directly to inform of any updates or changes to the tour.
