On foot, mostly, or by boat if there were water courses to use. And, indeed, that’s how most people traveled after the wheel was invented, with the addition of riding horses and similar beasts of burden (horses big enough to ride were the products of selective breeding, which came a bit after the invention of the wheel, and camels and donkeys a bit after that). See, wheels and wheeled vehicles were never as important as popular belief has it. Transport by water was and remains vastly more efficient, so people always moved around by boat or ship where possible. And wheeled vehicles require an infrastructure of roads, which might not be reliably available. For most of history, wheels were useful for moving heavy goods where rivers, streams, and canals weren’t available to move things by barge, and they were convenient for carrying the delicate, infirm, or wealthy, but most travelers went with the greater reliability of feet, whether it was their own or those of riding animals. It really took railroads to change that equation.
