New Europe: Walk Places, See Things, and Learn, all for Free!

This company offers amazing walking tours, roughly two hours in length, jam packed with interesting information that ranges from the historical, to the random, to the quirky, to what's the best pub in town; you walk by all the major attractions and monuments in the city, and most tours run seven days a week rain or shine.  The tour guides work for tips only, so the tour costs as much as you want it to, although the guides do a fabulous job and deserve a little love if you can afford it.   

I've been on both of the London tours as well as one of the Paris tours, and all three of them were a-mazing.  The tours are geared to broke twenty-somethings, thus the content is a mixture of the past and present, with a few saucy sex scandals thrown in for good measure. Being guided around a new city by hot Australian and Canadian men doesn't hurt either.

New Europe also serves as an excellent opportunity to get a job working abroad.  You don't have to be a native to the city you give tours in, you just need to speak fluent English and have a solid History of the city.  Check their website for further details on joining the New Europe family.   

New Europe offers free walking tours in the following cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, Hamburg, London, Jerusalem, Madrid, Munich, Paris and Tel Aviv.  If you are currently visiting any of those cities, take their tour right now!
