Team

Created by Locals . Powered by Locals

iDiscover is a meeting point for residents, businesses and travellers. All of our walking routes are created by locals. That means that each itinerary is handcrafted by a local business, NGO or community group and each map is illustrated by a local designer; with a little help from the iDiscover team.

This continues to be one of the best bottom-up, local heritage awareness efforts on the planet; and they keep adding more places.
