Loved seeing others enjoy it as much as I did! - I completed this with one daughter and her friend, and knew my other 2 would equally love it, so bought another one and was happy enough to join them (and my sister and Brother in law who had bought me the original) when they completed it! Watching their faces as they completed it was as much fun as doing it the first time! (We're all 30+ adults now!)

Fun way to Explore - This was the second Mystery Adventure we've done and it was just as much fun as the first! It's a great way to see Cambridge and learn about the history of the city. The guides are also well written with puzzles being fun and sometimes head-scratching, but accessible. Highly recommend!

Mystery of Cambridge - Having been to Cambridge many a time, we decided to purchase this book. We have completed a few of these so we knew what to expect and how fun they are. What we have noticed is the books take you to areas of the city that maybe you wouldn't go to. They are not too difficult to do once you get the hang of them but they can get you thinking. I would recommend these as they are good and they get you out and about to cities you may never have thought of going to.

Five Go Mad in Cambridge - Having already enjoyed the Mystery Adventure in Cardiff with a group of Welsh friends, I was given a Mystery Adventure for Cambridge. I gathered 4 U3A friends, bought an extra copy and set off for Cambridge. It did help to have 2 books between 5 of us, so that everyone was involved. The clues were not difficult enough to put us off, but the solving of them did cause us to look closely at things we'd never noticed before. We made a day of it, including morning coffee, lunch and of course a trip to the pub! We all had great fun and I have passed the website link to so many people - that I think I deserve a free one!

The Wandering Super Sleuths! - Had a fabulous day in Cambridge. We visited parts that we wouldn’t have and had a lot of fun and laughs along the way. Would highly recommend these guides. We have just bought Winchester, Bath and Edinburgh on the 3 for 2 offer :)

Explore Cambridge and have a laugh - The perfect blend of fact and fiction, silliness and substance. A perfect way to explore a city with friends. I've lived near Cambridge for years and I saw many things I'd never noticed before. Would highly recommend.

A day out with a difference! Can be enjoyed by three generations together. - We did the Cambridge walk/tour on Sunday 7th. The weather was kind for us but rather windy (the remains of storm Kathleeen), the sun shone and it was very enjoyable. There were three generations of us, pooling our brain power and we got to the solution. We had had a fabulous afternoon out and we all had enjoyed each other’s company. I’m buying York next for when we visit later this year.
