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

Miguel

Hello beautiful travellers and locals! I am Miguel, the creator of one of your incredible options for an immersive gamified experience in Faro, the capital of Algarve, in the south of Portugal. I am a biologist and traveller that never goes to a city unless I get the chance to explore its hidden small streets, old buildings and get among its inhabitants and local culture, away from the most touristic routes. Although I am a northerner in this beautiful small country, I am lucky to live and work in the prettiest part of Faro for several years now and I got to know it very well. So, I want to share the best of it with you and hope you can see this town like I do – with passion!

Gertrude

In 2013 I spent two weeks in Barcelona. It was love at first sight and I decided to stay. Since 2014 I work as a guide. Also I organise bike and walking tours through the city. I love to show and experience my visitors the charm of Barcelona. In now live near Barcelona and call the Penedès wine area my home. But I still come to Barcelona every day to share my passion for the city.

Greg

Hey, I’m Greg, a playful learning fanatic and big city enthusiast. I love showing things from a different perspective to create AHA-moments in the players. That’s what I strive for here with my games, and I hope you’ll find them both fun and interesting! I lived in Belgium and Ireland, and am a big fan of Dan Brown whose books give me inspiration for my stories and riddles over and over again. Play my games and let the questions guide you! Enjoy my gamified route in Budapest!
