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

A random pick out of our local creators

Dora & Adam

Hi there! We are Dora and Adam, two Budapest enthusiasts, born and raised in Buda (he) and Pest (she)! We also love games, puzzles and any kind of brain-teasers, whether a cryptic ad in the metro, the latest season of Lupin or board games such as the Gaia Project. We hope that our Budapest’s Castle Hill trail will be a nice addition to this trend!

Marc

My name is Marc. I am a local tour guide by day in Venice. And by night I am a musician! Play my Venice adventures to see the city through my eyes and unlock some local legends.

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.

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
