Well executed and fun - Really enjoyable. This was the first tour of this kind that we have tried and it was great. Clear instructions. The emails, texts, links etc all worked perfectly. Really well crafted and clocked up a good distance and steps. Clues were tricky but not impossible. They took some thought and really ensured we kept our eyes open. Well worth the money and a great day out. We did it in our home city and still learnt new things.

Used a part of a company event - recommend - We had an excellent team building activity. Everyone was happy and found it interesting. I didn’t hear anything negative from anyone afterwards (which is rare). The fact we had QR codes for each team MASSIVELY helped with the organising and not having to worry about sharing peoples personal details for ease of URL sharing. It meant I could print off posters and pop them around the office with team names, the QR codes, and members of the teams, allowing each of them to scan the QR code. Ian was super helpful and friendly when I called up for advice on running the day also 😊

Best way to see the City of Manchester. - A terrific treasure hunt around the city of Manchester. Made for a brilliant way to see the city. It was all organised well. Clues were easy to slightly challenging. We overlooked the amount of time we would need to complete the course and in this case had to leave the last 3 questions. Overall we loved this and would recommend to others.

Informative tour - Great route, not too long not too short. Plenty of pubs / nice places to eat en route. Bit expensive for what it is though. A

A great experience for a group aged 8-71! - I don't normally write reviews because I'm a bit lazy with things like this, but I felt compelled to after our treasure hunt yesterday! We were a family group aged 8-71. We had the best day...really engaging for all ages. We have lived in Manchester for 20 years but saw places we have never seen in the city the city we love and learnt things we didn't know! Great clues, lots of places to stop along the way and lots of fun! Great concept, very well priced and a fab experience, highly recommend!

Family fun for all ages - Good fun and very informative. The clues were easy enough if you had a good look around. We got stuck on one but found it after a small hint. Found parts of the city that did not know was there
