Secret City Walks

Secret City Walks take place through Ybor City, which is located in Tampa, Florida. The walks take visitors down a spooky and historic path that celebrate the cigar magnates, con men, fascinating characters and stunning revolutionaries of the area. The tours guide walkers into cigar factories, social clubs and other fascinating destinations while they learn about the men who made the area famous. The Secret City Walks are hour-long self-guided audio walking tours. It is the city's most informative method of seeing the sites and learning about the history of Ybor City. The tours were created in 1996 by a group of women who wanted to share the history of the town. The tours were originally guided by actors, but decided that the self-guided audio tours would be more popular and less expensive. They used the original scripts and created the audio tours. There were a group of talented actors and speakers who voiced the audio materials used for the tour, making the dialogue interesting and pleasant to listen to, as well as informative and entertaining. There is also music supplied in the audio by the Havana NRG! And the Orquesta Infidad. The company plans to expand its self-guided audio tour business and offer tours like this to other cities throughout the United States.
