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

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.

Svenja and Pekka

Hi, we are Svenja and Pekka! We love traveling and discovering new places. In the first year of our relationship, we had already visited nine different countries. Traveling got even more fun after we discovered Secret City Trails and we started seeing our own city with different eyes! We hope that you will have a good time in Tampere while playing our game!

Chris & Inês

Hi! We are Inês (Portuguese) and Chris (Spanish). When we are not travelling and telling all about it in our travel blog, Randomtrip, we are exploring our base and favourite city in the world: Lisbon. We are in love with this city and you can now discover our favourite spots in Lisbon city center (Baixa and Alfama), in Belém and off-the-beaten-track places in our neighborhood with our Arroios trail. Prepare yourself for learning about Portuguese culture and history, to embrace new experiences in the best cultural hotspots in the city and watch an amazing sunset grabbing a beer in our favourite viewpoints.

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.
