A really magical experience - With a day to fill between hospital appointments at Addenbrookes (and not being allowed to eat) this tour was an absolute life saver. My son and I had the most fabulous time hunting for doors. He absolutely loved all the detail and searching for clues. The story really captured his imagination and what could have been a really tricky miserable day turned into a day we'll remember for a very long time. Searching for each door helped us spot things in each neighbourhood that we just wouldn't have seen otherwise and whenever we stopped to take photos, it was lovely to help other people discover the doors too.

Fun on a wet day in Cambridge - This was a very fun thing to do around the centre of Cambridge with a nine year old on a damp day in November. Great for kids to learn some orienteering skills and we loved the back stories for each of the doors.

brilliant interactive door hunt! - This is such a good way to tour the city - it'll take you to places you may not have otherwise visited (I'm looking at you Cambridge Museum of Technology) and you get to see some amazing works of art (dinky doors) at the same time ❤

Great adventure. - Great fun finding the doors on our bikes and reading the wonderfully written description. Well worth the cost and kept the children entertained on journeys between museums and colleges.

Amazing creative project that is worth every penny - The dinky doors are utterly captivating. I took my boys (aged 11 & 12) to Cambridge and bought the paper tour to help us explore the city. We had the most brilliant time locating these fun and joyful creations. Loved every second and want to do it again! Highly recommend for active families and am so grateful to the creators.

A-door-able! - Fabulous fun. This is the furthest Dinky Door from the town centre and it's great to have one so close to where I live. Need to get a teeny art work to exchange!

Great experience, worth buying the map - Great outdoor activity, visited 13/14, made the daily steps recommended by doctor, children were happy to go for this hunt. The only suggestion I have is for the owners/organisers: please visit them from time to time and maintain them as many of them were very dirty, one had permanent marker writing on, one had a large brown ice cream or cake (at least I hope it was that) on it. 3 of them had many dry leaves and cigarettes buts, making them unattractive to photograph. We've cleaned all of them as much as possible, for some we used wipes to clean the dirt, the only one we didn't touch was the one with the brown thing. I think a weekly round to have them cleaned won't take too long. Hope it helps.

Wonderfully designed Unpacked - The doors are wonderful 😊 We discovered the first "self" and then became aware of the tour. It was a lot of fun to discover more. However, it didn’t work as a tour for us, we had to re-select our destination each time and walked through the city a bit chaotically as a result.

Very disappointing - Very disappointing. Only managed to find 2 and they weren't dinky doors. Maybe we should have walked to where the others were grouped together. Not what I was expecting and a waste of money.
