# Tours - - - - - - A **Tour** provides an opportunity for a pilot to discover the world in a new and unique way. Each one is themed, and unless specified differently, can be completed in an aircraft from *any* of the company's fleets. They are comprised of planned legs, each of which must be flown in the order specified. Once all legs have been completed, an [**award**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/3-help/page/awards) is posted to a pilot's [**Logbook**](https://docs.walkerair.us/books/2-training/page/pilot-profile-logbook).
*You **do not** have to be at the airport location in order to start any leg of a tour.*
*Tour flights **do not** change your location upon landing.*
To explore our **Tours** offerings, click [**Tours**](https://crew.walkerair.us/tours). The default view is for all **Tours** to be displayed. Once you begin flying them, though, you may find it useful and/or convenient to be able to sort them. In the *Text Box* to the right of the *magnifying glass* icon, you can select *any* sorting option from the drop-down menu.[](https://docs.walkerair.us/uploads/images/gallery/2021-11/image-1638198116119.png) | **All** **Available** **In Progress** **Completed** |

Once a Leg has been flown, it cannot be flown again.
