Invisible Cities Tours is a social enterprise based in Aberdeen, Scotland, offering guided walking tours across multiple UK cities. The organisation specialises in city walks that blend local history, personal testimony and place-based storytelling. Tours include city-specific experiences such as Between Lectures and Legends: My Path Through Old Aberdeen, which starts and ends at 5 College Bounds; The Royal Mile: Edinburgh's Most Famous Street; Innovators and Inventors of Edinburgh; and a range of Manchester, Glasgow and York walks.
Guides are people with lived experience who share personal stories alongside historical facts. Some guides are trained from experiences of homelessness and use storytelling to connect visitors to architecture, social history and civic change. Tour lengths vary from one-hour Riverside Walking Tour in Glasgow to two-hour explorations like Innovators and Inventors of Edinburgh. Other offerings include themed walks such as Uncover Stories of Crime and Punishment, The Story of Guy Fawkes, and family-friendly and virtual options.
Invisible Cities Tours operates transparently as a social enterprise: revenue from tours supports work that empowers people affected by homelessness. The organisation partners with local communities and venues noted in its itineraries, including historic sites and public meeting places like the SEC and Maggie Dickson's pub. Each itinerary is rooted in factual research and lived experience to create engaging, educational visits.
Visitors choose Invisible Cities Tours for city walks that combine history, social impact and authentic local perspective. Booking is available online and details are provided for start points, durations and accessibility where applicable to visitors.
