What does Invisible Cities do?

Invisible Cities is a social enterprise founded in 2016 by Zakia Moulaoui Guery. It trains and employs individuals who have experienced homelessness as walking tour guides in various UK cities. The organization reinvests all profits into guide development, training, advocacy, and community events. By empowering formerly homeless individuals, Invisible Cities challenges stereotypes and promotes ethical tourism. The company offers alternative walking tours in cities such as Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Liverpool. These tours focus on hidden stories, local heritage, and unique landmarks, providing a personal perspective from guides who are deeply connected to their cities. Tours are customizable, accessible, and cater to small and larger groups. Invisible Cities also supports its guides with ongoing training and community initiatives, fostering fresh starts and meaningful employment opportunities. The enterprise engages with tourists, locals, and corporate groups, creating a positive social impact through its work.
