Details

1 city, 2 persons, 3 hours. The idea is very simple: let's connect with another human being while exploring the city by foot. Take as many stops as you want, of course (you don't need to walk for three hours straight)!

This is a ticketed event. All surplus from this activity will be donated to a local charity that all participants choose together in June 2026!

In this event, one person will be the tour leader, and one attendee will be the guest. The idea is that the tour leader presents a part of the city they know well, but it's also possible that the leader choses a part of the city they'd like to explore. The guest, too, can go along and follow or suggest routes without the need to feel like a passive participant.

There's no fixed topic of conversation and both participants can suggest topics related to the city, personal interests, news, or anything else.

We have a WhatsApp group! Feel free to join and connect with fellow Walkers & Talkers here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IhG8UVOVEmYHRzXBZzHf1t

ABOUT THE ROUTE

Let's explore the area around Blok M together! There's plenty of parks, street food, cafés, Japanese restaurants in the Japanese neighbourhood, street vendors. We can explore some green areas, enjoy the sunset, and head for a bite at the end -- we will decide together!
