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.

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

Rachel

Hi, Rachel here, Rae for short 😉 What better way to immerse yourself in a new city than to have a local show you around? When I discovered Secret City Trails I was thrilled to find other like-minded travellers and folks who wanted to share the BEST part of their cities with fellow wayfinders! I have been dreaming up these games in my head for some years now, so I’m very excited to show you around my beloved neighborhoods in the stunning city of Barcelona— a destination that SO many visit, but so few actually get to know. I hope you’ll enjoy my games in “Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella quarter” as well as “Barcelona’s El Born quarter” and if you want to grab a vermut afterwards, just let me know! Saludos, Rae

Pascal & Deana

Salut! We are Deana and Pascal, both artists in love with all things to do with art in public space. We’re from Slovakia (Deana) and England (Pascal), working in music and visual art. Enjoy our discovery walk in Prague’s art district!

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.
