Walks and Devour Tours expand with the debut of North American sightseeing and food tour offerings

Expanding its wide-ranging portfolio of offerings within new U.S. destinations including Washington D.C., and growing its tour selection in Chicago, Boston, NYC and more, City Experiences offers more than 150 sightseeing tours, food tours, and day trips through its Walks and Devour Tours brands.

NEW YORK, NY – In 2023, City Experiences is expanding its one-of-a-kind tours in major North American destinations through the award-winning international tour providers Walks and Devour Tours. In addition to adding new tours throughout 2022 to its existing offerings in New York City, San Francisco, and Niagara Falls, City Experiences increased its offerings in Chicago and Boston with seven new Walks and Devour tours. Additionally, Walks will bring its one-of-a-kind tours into Washington D.C. for the first time, with the launch of five brand new experiences.

“In addition to the expansion of Walks tours abroad, we are proud to continue growing our one-of-a-kind sightseeing and food tours across North America,” said Stephen Oddo, SVP Hornblower Group, President & Founder of Walks. “Whether guests are devouring the best bites in Boston or retracing George Washington’s steps at his Mount Vernon Estate, we aim to offer exciting experiences for everyone. We pair guests with the best local guides, giving them a unique perspective of world-famous sites, including the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal, Alcatraz and Niagara Falls. Walks and Devour Tours enhance City Experiences’ portfolio and together we look forward to being a go-to resource for travelers both at home and abroad this summer and fall.”

Within the last year, City Experiences has added over 25 new tours worldwide and will continue this growth with the addition of at least 40 more tours in 2023 across Europe and North America, offering over 150 tours worldwide. In partnership with some of the world’s top museums and monuments, including the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal, Niagara Falls, and more, Walks and Devour Tours offer exclusivity that travelers can’t find elsewhere. Most recently in North America, the tour group became the official Grand Central Terminal tour operator and last year, they expanded with an exclusive partnership with Niagara Falls (see tours below).
