Walks in Europe began with a simple idea: that travel should be personal, meaningful, and rooted in real connection.
Founded by Arzu Tutuk — an experienced tour guide, entrepreneur, and cultural tourism expert — our story is one of passion, precision, and a deep love for Europe’s layered histories.
What started as a small network of expert guides nearly a decade ago, has grown into a company known for its seamless logistics, immersive storytelling, and commitment to quality. We partner with local professionals who know their cities intimately — not just the famous landmarks, but the hidden corners, the quiet courtyards, the lived-in stories that bring a place to life.
Every tour is designed with care, whether tailored just for you or chosen from our curated collection of ready-to-book experiences.
1. Cultural Depth
We believe every street has a story. Our guides don’t just share facts — they open windows into the past, the people, and the pulse of a place. It’s history with heartbeat.
4. Local Soul
We walk with the locals who know the city’s secret rhythms. The tucked-away cafes. The quiet courtyards. The real stories. We keep it authentic, always.
We don’t rush. We create room for curiosity, for surprise, for that moment when a place truly lands in your heart.
