Absolutely.
Our tours are thoughtfully paced and led by experienced guides who regularly work with senior travelers. We welcome guests of all ages and are happy to adjust the pace as needed to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Each tour is different, and some sites have age restrictions or are better suited for older children. You’ll see specific age guidelines listed on the booking page for each tour. If you’re traveling with young children or using a stroller, certain routes or historical sites may not be easily accessible or engaging for them.
We’re happy to help you choose a family-friendly tour or suggest a private tour tailored to your needs and pace.
Private tours are fully personalized experiences just for you and your travel party. You’ll have your own guide, a flexible itinerary, and often the option to start at your hotel or apartment (depending on the location). It’s the most tailored and comfortable way to explore.
Small-group tours are shared with other like-minded travelers and follow a set itinerary. Group sizes are always limited to ensure a more personal experience, and you’ll meet at a designated central location.
Both options include skip-the-line tickets, expert local guides, and thoughtfully paced itineraries — the difference lies in how customized and exclusive you’d like your experience to be.
Tour sizes vary depending on the destination, the specific tour, and the requirements of the site being visited. We keep our group sizes small for a more personal experience, and you’ll find the maximum group size listed on the booking page for each tour.
For small-group tours, select your preferred date on the calendar of the tour page, choose the number of participants, and proceed to checkout. You’ll be redirected to our secure booking partner (FareHarbor), where your payment will be processed immediately via Stripe.
For private tours, please email us directly at business@walksineurope.com with your preferred dates, destination, and group size. Our team will respond promptly to tailor the experience and assist you with the booking process.
We also encourage you to review our cancellation policy before confirming your booking.
