History Treks Description
It’s easy to look at a ruin and wonder about the story behind it. What’s harder is to find information. But there’s always more to the story. What about those buildings that still stand? Those figures and events that didn’t leave a trace, or have been paved over by modern development? What happened in your town that you don’t even know about? There is so much that shaped our society, from the smallest local figure to the largest global event, all coming together to make your community what it is today.
History is all around us! But it can be hard to find the time to get to know it. Tour guides only run at certain times, and can be expensive. Who has the time, or the money? With our app, not only will you get a tour of all the historic highlights, and you can do it on your own time! Whether you’re a tourist who wants to experience the area, or a lifelong resident who wants to see it in a new light, we’re the app for you!
Founded in 2024 by two history nerds, one an archaeologist and the other a programmer, both of whom were sick of seeing local businesses and culture waste away due to lack of interest, this app was created with an ambition to reignite a passion for local history and community engagement. History Treks does things differently. We don’t sell your data or host ads, we run sustainably, and we don’t cater to corporate interests.
We know how important it is to experience the best of what a town has to offer, to avoid the big chains and see what only this place can offer you. But we also know that the community is always growing – it takes all kinds to build a society, and nothing happens in isolation. This is why we strive not only to cover the big events you can see with your eyes, but also turn the focus to the lesser-known parts of history, to bring forward prominent local figures who shaped the community, and highlight those who are overlooked.
Our tours have been researched by professional historians and museums to ensure accuracy, and we’ve partnered with local businesses and academics to get the resident touch. That’s why when you sign up for our tours, you’ll also get cool bonus features, like:
What was the wider context?
What are the top ten places to eat or drink?
What’s on in the local community?
What activities are there to do?
Choose tours based on time period and your geographic location. We offer a variety of long and short tours, and once you buy it, it’s yours forever! Come back to it whenever you want, revisit your favourite spots, and there’s no obligation to do it all in one go - unless you want to, of course! And with our meticulously researched content, you can rest assured you’re getting a quality product. Explore the stories behind the world around you, learn about great kings and epic battles, and get a feel for how the average person lived. It’s an immersive experience that draws on themes, accounts for geography, and puts you first.
Finding your preferred tour is easy, and we’re always expanding. Simply search for the tour or scroll through our list, click on the area you want, and see what’s available! And if your area isn’t on the app, it will be.
If you have any hot tips, suggestions for future tours, corrections, or sites we missed, or if you’d like us to take a look at a community event, feel free to talk to us! Our email is wearehistorytreks@gmail.com. We’re always interested, and we’re always friendly.
