Reinventing

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.

Fall in love with any 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

Helma and Tarik

Hi, we are Helma and Tarik. We have Dutch / Flemish / Moroccan roots and we know each other from the bike tours we organise in Marrakesh. Which is also a fun way to discover this magical city. But on foot you always see more! As it is not easy to find your way within the maze of small streets, we take you with us on this Secret City Trail through the Kasbah.

Jill

Hello there! My name is Jill and I love living in Brussels! I am originally from Flanders but I feel like a ‘Brusseleir’ after more than a decade in the capital of Europe. Check out my first game in the neighbourhood of Sainte-Catherine.

Neil

Hi there fellow adventurer, I’m Neil! I’m a playful London resident with a comprehensive knowledge of its neighbourhoods, cultures and quirks, and an enthusiasm for discovering and sharing the hidden gems beyond the guidebooks! You get to know a city in a completely different light when exploring on foot, and there’s no better way than seeing it through the eyes of a local! I’m so excited to introduce you to the vast urban playground of London, to tell you tales of its colourful history, show you the REAL hotspots, and most of all to put some fun into your visit! My South Bank game, Peckham walk, Surrey Quays route, Rotherhithe Riverside trail and Hampstead experience are ready and waiting for you!

Elena

Welcome to Athens! I’m Elena, a Greek-American food and travel writer with a passion for exploring destinations and their culinary history. If you’re looking for a new and fun way to explore this great city, play my self-guided Athens famous monuments and secret treasures adventure or the Athens hidden gems and hipster hotspots trail. Your Greek adventure is about to begin!
