In the interest of public safety, Invisible Cities are currently unable to offer the extremely popular in-person tours usually delivered by our wonderful guides, with COVID-19 bringing all normal day to day operations to a halt.
Although a challenging time, our ever-persistent team has been working diligently to develop new initiatives that will ensure our guides can keep working during these unusual times and over the coming weeks, Invisible Cities will begin to offer both Virtual Tours and Kid's Fun Trails. Both of which are designed to help people of all ages to get outside, even when they cannot!
Complete with colouring in, crosswords, dot to dot’s and other games and activities for children to enjoy, Invisible Cities fun trails are the perfect way for children to both learn about the city they live in as well as other famous cities within the United Kingdom.
Since being founded in 2016, Invisible Cities has worked to help those affected by homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own cities. As well as creating employment, our training helps to build public speaking and customer service skills, as well as developing a sense of purpose and self-confidence and we hope you will support our work during this unusual time.
Invisible Cities Fun Trails are available to enjoy for free although donations are more than welcome.
