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.

Tomas and Zuzana

We are Tomas and Zuzana. The former loves creating riddles and organizing quizzes, the latter is a former city blogger, a history buff and a researcher. We are a great team, and pride ourselves on rhymed riddles meaningfully intertwined with the history of the city, as well as contemporary Bratislava. Don’t miss our games and explore Bratislava through our eyes, visit our favourite places, hidden gems and learn cool facts and urban legends about the beauty on the Danube

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.

Elena

Welcome to Athens! I’m Elena, a Greek-American food and travel writer with a passion for exploring destinations and their culinary history. If you’re looking for a new and fun way to explore this great city, play my self-guided Athens famous monuments and secret treasures adventure or the Athens hidden gems and hipster hotspots trail. Your Greek adventure is about to begin!
