city discovery

Meet the team who will awaken your curiosity, help you explore, encourage you to play and will help you to learn more about the city.

see it like you’ve never seen it before

Secret City Trails is reinventing how we explore and enjoy cities. We do so through playful Discovery Walks in 50+ cities in Europe. Why? Because we believe in playfulness for awakening anyone’s curiosity. On our Walks, you serendipitously discover new places, notice little details in your surroundings – and learn about the city. You’ll gain a truly new perspective on city discovery.
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
Irish poet, W.B. Yeats

A random pick out of our local creators

Frans

Hoi, I am Frans. I was born and raised in a small village close to Amsterdam. I studies physics in Amsterdam and ended up in Maastricht working for a medical device company. Around 2000 I decided to change my careerd and started an event agency TreaT, catering for business events in Maastricht. In 2013 I created CityGoose citygames in the Netherlands; self-guided city discovery games with a physical game. In 2022 we acquired Secret City Trails, which is like the next logical step to expand my discovery ambitions. I love board games, puzzles and good food and hope you enjoy the different discovery walks I made.

Robin

Robin, here. Eight years ago I made the jump to move to Dublin and make Ireland my permanent home. As a child we used to visit Ireland once or twice a years. The obsession with the culture, language and history has been instilled in me from birth. So join me on a trail across one of my favorite cities. Let me show you what we’ve got to offer!

Chris

Halo to all thrill seekers, my name is Chris and I am your guide through Edinburgh’s obscure streets. I have a Master of Arts and Master of Letters in Scottish History, my enthusiasm and passion for uncovering the secrets of Scottish cities has only increased over the years and I’m ready to share them with you. Dundee and Edinburgh are two of my favourite cities in the world and I want to show you why. I hope you have fun cracking my riddles!

Chris & Inês

Hi! We are Inês (Portuguese) and Chris (Spanish). When we are not travelling and telling all about it in our travel blog, Randomtrip, we are exploring our base and favourite city in the world: Lisbon. We are in love with this city and you can now discover our favourite spots in Lisbon city center (Baixa and Alfama), in Belém and off-the-beaten-track places in our neighborhood with our Arroios trail. Prepare yourself for learning about Portuguese culture and history, to embrace new experiences in the best cultural hotspots in the city and watch an amazing sunset grabbing a beer in our favourite viewpoints.
