We’ve just added Walksy tours in Australia, New Zealand and Malta — including one in Mdina, one of my favorite cities I’ve ever visited.
My husband and I visited Mdina in January 2020.
It was wonderfully quiet… definitely not peak tourist season. Knowing we wouldn’t find a walking tour while we were there, I l started planning.
I researched the history. Figured out what we should see. Mapped out our route. Printed pages of notes. And when we arrived, I became our tour guide.
It worked. And we had a fantastic day.
But I also remember standing in this extraordinary medieval city, bundled up against the January weather, fumbling with pages of notes in my gloves and trying to find the right information for the landmark in front of us.
And thinking:
There has to be a better way!
Mdina wasn’t the moment that created Walksy. There were actually lots of moments like this over years of traveling.
So there’s something pretty wonderful about knowing that today, someone can arrive in Mdina, open Walksy and simply start exploring.
And Mdina is now just one of 250 Walksy tours across 51 countries.
We’ve also added a live, interactive map to the Walksy website, making it easy to explore where Walksy can take you and preview tours around the world.
This has me wondering:
When you travel, how do you learn about the place you’re visiting?
Do you research before you go? Google things as you walk? Book a guide? Ask locals? Or mostly wander and see what you discover?
I’d love to know.
P.S.
