Invisible Cities is a Social Enterprise. This means we are a social business with a social conscience. We don't believe in labels or stereotypes and we want to show that everyone has great potential, a fact reflected in our tour guides.
Tour revenue will be invested in providing support for our tour guides, who have all been affected by homelessness.
We train people affected by homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own city and offer these alternative tours to tourists and locals.
