Welcome to Episode 4 of Season 4 of Invisible Cities Talks, titled Social Tourism Impact in Europe.
In this episode, we’re joined by Tom from Secret Street Tours, a social enterprise based in Dublin, Ireland, that offers walking tours led by individuals who have experienced homelessness. These tours provide a unique and powerful perspective on the city, blending personal stories with local history to challenge stereotypes and foster understanding.
Our host, Michaela, is joined by Glasgow guide Angie, who leads this insightful conversation. Together, they explore how Secret Street Tours was founded, the challenges of recruiting and training guides, and the transformational impact the tours have on both guides and participants. Tom also shares how their tours help break down barriers, why storytelling is key to changing perceptions, and the organisation’s ambitions for the future.
Tune in to hear how social tourism is creating opportunities, amplifying unheard voices, and reshaping the way we experience cities.
