Some places only make sense through the person who lived there. These walks follow one life through the city it happened in, stop by stop, from the first chapter to the last.
Walk Anne Frank's Amsterdam, from the old Jewish Quarter to the house on the Prinsengracht. Follow Mary Queen of Scots down Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Henry VIII through his six marriages in London, and Empress Sisi through Habsburg Vienna. For true crime, there's Al Capone's Chicago and Burke and Hare's Edinburgh.
Every walk is researched from sources and fact-checked before it's narrated. The stories are told plainly: the lives as they were lived, not the legends that grew up around them.
Good to know before you go
- Real people, real places
- Every stop is a place the person actually knew: a home, a church, a court, a street.
- Some stories are hard
- The Anne Frank walk passes places tied to the deportation of Amsterdam's Jews, and the true-crime walks deal with murder. They are told with care, and some stops are places to keep your voice down.
- Fact-checked, not dramatised
- The walks stick to what the sources support. Where the record is uncertain, they say so rather than pick the better tale.
- A good first walk in a city
- Each walk passes the landmarks too, like the Dam, the Royal Mile, the Hofburg and Westminster Abbey, so it doubles as a first look at the city.

Handcrafted for Your Time in the City
These tours aren't a checklist of sights. They're made to be walked slowly, headphones on, eyes on the city.
Meditative and Immersive
Each story is told where it happened. The app chimes when you reach a stop, one tap starts the story, and the stretch between stops is yours to take in at your own pace.
Handcrafted With Care
We choose every route and every stop ourselves and shape each story with care, so the time you have in the city goes to the places most worth seeing.
Better With Someone
Every walk is better with someone beside you, so if you can bring a friend, we really hope you do. That's why one purchase covers everyone you invite: they join your tour free.
