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.

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

Sarah

Zdravo, I’m Sarah and I run Montenegro Pulse, a destination guide to Montenegro. I use my viewpoint as a foreigner with local knowledge to help people get the best out of their stay here and I’m excited to help you experience this unique destination beyond the guidebooks. Play my Secret Trail in Kotor to discover hidden beauties and experience the best this gorgeous destination has to offer.

Paul

Hi Adventurers! My name is Paul and I originally hail from Scotland. I’ve lived in London for 7 years now and I’m always coming across new and exciting things in this glorious city! I design trails as well as escape rooms – so I am a very puzzley person! Play my City trail to discover hidden gems and beautiful secret gardens in the square mile. London – especially the financial district of the City, can be very busy, so unearthing a few calm areas is very exciting!

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!

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.
