Super family experience - Was a great way of getting the kids walking around Manchester without complaining lol. They loved it. The distance between clues wasn’t far so keep little minds busy and little legs moving.

Great Fun Activity in Manchester - We thoroughly enjoyed the Treasure Hunt around Manchester. It took us to places we had not been to before. We had a lovely sunny day to meander around Manchester, stopping for lunch and drinks along the way. It was a great group activity allowing us to gently tax our minds solving the questions where we felt we'd achieved something more than eating and drinking! We had a grand day out and would definitely recommend.

Interesting way to explore Manchester! - Really neat way to kill a few hours. Lived in Greater Manchester my whole life (28 years) and this took me and my friends down streets we'd never been to. Great excuse to get out and explore parts of the city that you might not have an excuse to visit otherwise, with some interesting information packed into the tour answers. Highly recommend.

Good family afternoon - We really enjoyed it. We know Manchester well but visited parts we hadn’t properly explored before and learnt lots of history that we didn’t know before. It was a good length and the clues weren’t too difficult. Any that weren’t obvious could get hints but was enjoyable by everyone.

A Must-Do Activity! - Absolutely wonderful trip out, well made clues, a good mixture of thinking required for each and hints that led you closer to the answer instead of telling you outright. We took loads of lovely family photos as we were taken through some of the most picturesque areas of Manchester whilst hunting. In between clues, we were treated to wonderful insight of the history of the locations we visited - really enjoyed this aspect. Highly recommended to anyone who is in the area and is interested in a fun, low stress activity that takes you to some incredible locations. Thanks so much for this Paul and Ian!

Family fun treasure hunt - This was a great few hours of fun with the family. The clues really got you thinking and we saw parts of Manchester we wouldn’t normally see, as well as learning loads of information which I found very interesting. Would highly recommend the treasure hunt to others and am looking forward to doing another one in a different city.

Educational fun!! - Had a great time…. Again. This is our third treasure hunt and possibly the best so far. I’ve lived close to Manchester all my life and never knew half the things I learned on this treasure hunt. Wear comfortable shoes as you walk an awful lot! Would recommend it to anyone who likes exploring…history and the occasional pub visit (we added a few extra to the scheduled stop).
