One day in history, told where it happened
Most city tours give you a little of everything. These walks give you one day, or one week, and follow it through the streets in the order it happened: the morning of 28 June 1914 along the river in Sarajevo, the fight at the radio building in Budapest in 1956, the last day of Pompeii.
There are Second World War walks in Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Paris, London and Hiroshima, Cold War walks along the Berlin Wall, assassination walks in Dallas, Washington DC, Sarajevo and ancient Rome, and walks through the great fires and earthquakes of London, Chicago and San Francisco.
Accuracy comes first. Every walk is researched from sources and fact-checked independently before it's narrated, and the hardest stories, the wars and the killings, are told soberly, without spectacle.
Good to know before you go
- 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.
- Heavy stories, told with care
- Several walks pass memorials and places where people died. The narration is sober, and these are places to keep your voice down.
- Two thousand years of turning points
- From the Ides of March in 44 BC and the eruption of Pompeii in AD 79 to the Cold War, every walk centres on one moment and the streets where it played out.

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.
