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

Chris

Halo to all thrill seekers, my name is Chris and I am your guide through Edinburgh’s obscure streets. I have a Master of Arts and Master of Letters in Scottish History, my enthusiasm and passion for uncovering the secrets of Scottish cities has only increased over the years and I’m ready to share them with you. Dundee and Edinburgh are two of my favourite cities in the world and I want to show you why. I hope you have fun cracking my riddles!

Kate

Hi, I’m Kate, a historian, keen traveller and puzzle enthusiast. I grew up just outside York and returned to the city to do my PhD a few years ago. I now work as a heritage freelancer in Edinburgh. Edinburgh and York are some of the most beautiful and historic cities in the UK and I can’t wait to share them with you. I hope you enjoy exploring York and Edinburgh on my trails.

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.
