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

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.

Inge

My name is Inge, I am a Dutchie living in Milan. Not because I fell in love with an Italian, but with the city. Milan is often still seen as the city of fashion and design, but it has so much more to offer! I’d like you to discover this during one of my trails in Milan or play the trails in my favorite destinations for the weekend: Como and Bellagio.

Theodora

Servus! My name is Theo and the pretty girl on the left is my dog Bella. I was born and raised in Austria, I enjoy good puzzles – and I’ve always loved to show the city and beautiful Austria to my friends from abroad. Why’s that, you ask? Well, because I think Austria is not only amazingly beautiful but also full of surprises! Being an avid traveller myself, I know that the best way to get to know the place beyond all the clichés is to find a local who will show you nice spots that you can’t find in guidebooks – including some nice places to enjoy the local cuisine and drinks. If that’s your kind of thing, play my Secret City Trail and discover Vienna off the beaten path

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.
