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

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.

Heenah

Hi there! I’m Heenah, a freelance graphic designer and artist. I’m originally from the UK, but I’ve lived in the Netherlands since 2018 and have absolutely fallen in love with the city of Leiden, where I live! I get endless inspiration just walking through the charming streets here. If you love history, art and architecture then definitely try out my Secret City Trail!

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.

Julia

Hello there! My name is Julia, born and raised in Madrid. I am a traveller who loves to discover the uncrowded, hidden gems during my trips and I would love to show you those places in my city. Walking narrow streets, tasting the local Madrid, learning about the history and literature through the stories. If you go on my gamified walk ‘Follow in the footsteps of famous writers‘ you will solve riddles that will make you just a little bit native!
