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.

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

Dieter

Hi, I’m Dieter from Düsseldorf, a former teacher of English and Biology and I enjoy travelling, sports and playing games. After playing a Secret City Trail during a holiday, I made my own in game in Dusseldorf!

Mirco

“Ciao, sono Mirco!” Son of Sicilian parents, I was born and raised in northern Italy, not far from Milan. At the age of 24 I moved to Sicily, more specifically to Catania, with the aim of traveling throughout Sicily and making informative videos on its lesser-known places. Today I am a Tour Guide and Hiking Guide. Also I am committed to offering visitors alternative routes, far from mass tourism. My Secret City Trail through Catania also gets you on an alternative itinerary through the city!

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
