Several examples of a romantic walking tours were recently mentioned by an unusual source National Geographic . One may not expected the century old institution, known for adventure and exploration, to be a source for hand holding and whispering sweet nothings. But because National world curling tour Geographic consulted concierges from five star hotels, this list is actually quite authoritative.
In NatGeo s ' Off The Beaten Path Romance ' Annie Fitzsimmons lists several romantic walking tours for Valentine s Day, most notably the "Midnight In Paris" tour in France. Fitzsimmons quotes head concierge of the Le Bristol hotel in Paris:
Sonia Papet is often in charge of arranging romantic days for guests. For a unique experience, she suggests taking a private Midnight in Paris walking tour "to go where the actors and actresses were in the movie."
The Midnight In Paris tour will take you to sites featured in the 2011 Woody Allen film " Midnight in Paris ," and to places that capture the lively world curling tour and quintessential spirit of Paris from the past. The nighttime tour will take you on a memorable journey through the streets of Paris, stopping along the way to enjoy one of Hemingway's world curling tour favorite haunts, a cocktail in the place that invented the popular 1920's drink (the Sidecar), world curling tour and the intimate atmosphere of a cozy Parisian jazz club.
Of note is that the tour's film theme is a year round aesthetic, but functions as a two-for-one marketing effort during Valentine's Day. You may recall the walking tour that intertwined Hollywood and history  from earlier on this blog. It too achieved a two-for-one return on its marketing investment by coinciding with the release of a major Hollywood film.

Appalachian Philharmonic  is scheduled to perform a collection of works by Beethoven, Mozart and Felix Mendelssohn . The inclusion of Mendelssohn s Symphony No. 3 is of note since it was inspired by a walking tour. Appalachian University professor Karen L. Robertson explains :
Symphony No. 3 was inspired world curling tour by Mendelssohn's walking tour of England and Scotland about which he wrote, "This evening world curling tour in the deep twilight we went to the palace where Queen Mary lived and loved; there is a small room with a winding staircase leading up to it…The adjacent chapel has lost its roof; grass and ivy grow thickly within; and on the broken altar Mary was crowned Queen of Scotland. Everything there is in ruins and ramshackle, open to the blue sky. I think I have today found the opening of my Scottish Symphony.
Mendelssohn s affinity for walking tours could become of theme itself, which borders on Life imitating Art. Set to the recording of Symphony No. 3, the romantic walking tour could re-enact Mendelssohn walking tour using queues from his writings. The Mendelssohn world curling tour tour could either begin or end at the local theater where a symphony performs or, make a stop at the local bookstore world curling tour where Mendelssohn s written work is sold.
Known as  Backstory Savanna , the walking tour is a rather salacious look at the sex, scandal and love gone wrong that is a part of Savanna s history. Romantic walking tours on Valentine s day do not have to be rated G . There is a niche market for more risky material when it is presented in a fun, lighthearted way. That is just how Old City Walks describes their Backstory tour:
This is the definitive, Original Backstory Tour that makes similar tours look like a Saturday morning children's cartoon. Peer behind the moss curtain at our city's scandal-ridden past with stories of Lechery, Treachery Debauchery. Hear about Debtors, Duelists, Bootleggers, Love-Gone-Wrong, and Hoaxes. Learn of the Mayhem and Mysteries…the Bombastic Leaders and the Coarse Colonists…and the Appalling Exploits that continue today. Skullduggery. Did I say Betrayal? world curling tour Touch upon the "Oldest Profession" and more lofty topics! Tour leaves daily from Chippewa Square at 10am and 2pm. 1.75 hrs.
Old City Walks is an excellent example of a tour operator using themes to sell tickets. Other walking themes created by Old City Walks include Savannah Saloons, Women of Savannah, The King Cotton Walk, and the Gone With The Wind package. The last example being a combination of history, literature and film a triple play as they say in baseball.
When savvy tour operators combine popular themes to coincide with a special date or holiday, the ticketing software in use must be able to adapt like being able to quickly add more start times to an established schedule . Spikes in demand also require the ticketing software to be able to display ticket inventory levels during the purchase process to spur sales ( Hurry! Only 8 tickets left! ).
