About

We believe that the soul of a city is best understood in the footsteps where history was forged and their repercussions reverberate. For the soul of a place is not just in the grand monuments, but in the cobblestone alleys, the murmur of markets and the whispered tales that carry on and permeate culture.

Gistory exists to bring you glimpses of a citys past, to give you a deeper understanding of its present. To equip you with a plan to discover a city on your own terms, guided with compelling stories and routes that let you touch, listen, feel and smell—to experience a city authentically. Without the crowds and loudspeakers, without any pre-booking and rigid schedules. Because in every city, in each step, theres a story waiting to be told, and were delighted to guide you through it.

Our Ethos

Stories are the bridge to wisdom

We strive to tell stories that you’ll actually remember. Maybe they’ll even get tucked away in your Instagram captions. Each tour tells stories of places, local curiosities, famous people, architectural details and events.

The journey is more important than the destination

Walking on your own terms is the best way to authentically experience a city. Although we meticulously plan walking routes, you’re encouraged to go off-piste, get lost and discover your own path.

Independent travel beats mass tourism

Too many cities have been ruined by large groups and loudspeakers. We believe in exploring quietly, without disturbing the flow and vibe of a city for locals in their daily life.

Serendipity lights the path to discovery

It’s often the unplanned moments that become the most memorable. By removing rigid schedules, you’re free to wander the side streets, go along with surprise encounters or delve deeper into overlooked historical gems.

Mindful travel refreshes the soul

Exploring at your own pace allows you to slow down and be present in the moment. A chance to intentionally use all of your senses to pay attention to your surroundings and dive deeper into beautiful things that spark your curiosity.
