The Story of WalkEurope
Tom Harter, after his career working for international media and advertising corporations, decided it was time to turn a page and pursue his dream to be an entrepreneur and start a new venture based on two of his passions -- traveling in Europe & taking a morning pleasure walk. This was the beginning of WalkEurope... a new type of personal-service small group specialty tour company. Tom personally creates and designs each tour to be unique & special, providing guests wonderful local European experiences... and Tom accompanies every tour providing each guest personal concierge service to enjoy a worry-free holiday.
All WalkEurope tours are designed how Tom likes to travel... staying in locally-owned luxury boutique hotels... dining at restaurants & bistros patronized by locals... hiring the very best local historian & specialty guides... engaging in local culture, embracing the ambiance, interacting with local citizens... and most importantly, having a relaxing time with lots of fun!
​
Tom is a native of Iowa. After college he backpacked across Europe which started his love of traveling internationally. He has traveled to over 35 countries and lived and worked in Europe & Hong Kong for nearly 10 years while working for The Wall Street Journal. Throughout his life Tom has traveled regularly to Europe seeking out the very best Europe offers.
​
And please don't let our WalkEurope name misguide you... joining Tom on his before breakfast pleasure walks in Europe is purely OPTIONAL :-)
