A city of passages, walls and waterside history in Exeter

Our story

A city of passages, walls and waterside history

Silvery Urban Treks was created for visitors and residents who want more than a quick look at Exeter's landmarks. Our walks are designed around the rhythm of the city itself: the long shadow of Exeter Cathedral across the Close, the remains of the Roman walls, the bustle of Fore Street, the canal and quayside that once connected Devon trade to wider routes, and the remarkable underground passages that still fire local curiosity. We combine careful historical research with warm, engaging guiding so that each tour feels informed without ever becoming dry. Whether you are visiting for a weekend, arranging a group day out, or planning a private introduction to Exeter, we offer a calm, well-paced experience that helps you notice details you might otherwise miss.

Our routes through Exeter are planned for curious travellers who want context as well as landmarks. Each experience balances well-known highlights with quieter streets, local stories and time for questions.

Silvery Urban Treks works with knowledgeable local hosts who keep groups comfortable, explain practical meeting details clearly and adapt their delivery to the pace and interests of the guests.

Every booking begins with transparent information about duration, accessibility, inclusions and price. Private itineraries can be adjusted by agreement before the tour, helping visitors make the most of their time in Exeter.
