For over a decade, travelers around the world have known us as Free Tours a pie — the company that pioneered “name your own price” walking tours. That model allowed us to introduce thousands of guests to the history, neighborhoods, and culture of our favorite cities.
As we’ve grown, so have our tours. Today, many of our experiences include food tastings, museum entries, and small group access, which require advance costs and guaranteed guide support. To continue offering high-quality tours led by passionate locals, we’ve transitioned many of our tours to a ticketed pricing model.
Our tours are still designed to be accessible and affordable compared to traditional operators.
Our guides remain knowledgeable, friendly, and local experts who love sharing their cities.
We are still committed to making travel engaging and memorable for everyone.
You’ll see us now as Tours by Foot — a name that reflects both our history and our future.
While most tours are now ticketed, some “pay what you wish” tours remain in select cities (like New Orleans, New York City, and Washington DC), honoring our roots.
We’re proud of where we’ve been, and we’re excited about where we’re going. Whether you join us on a classic walk or a specialty experience, our mission is the same: to help you discover cities in a way that’s fun, insightful, and unforgettable.
✨ Thank you for being part of our journey — we can’t wait to see you on tour!
