Lovely experience - We absolutely loved this treasure hunt! We only had half a day in Oxford so it took us past all the main sights, we popped in to little shops and bars we thought were cute and had an “education” drink at the recommended pub along the way. I can highly recommend this activity.

Great introduction to Oxford. - Great way to see Oxford. We wanted to have some structure to seeing the city without a guide or a bus tour. We definitely saw parts of the city we would never have thought to venture to. The clues are challenging without being frustrating and definitely make you stop and look around. Do check out the Tavern and Covered Marked when asked to. We had 2 teens with us and the 2-2.5 hours it took was enough time. If you do this trip early you can go back to revisit the clues as in the summary I realised I hadn’t seen everything in the moment so did go back for another look.

Great way to explore the city - Great way to explore the city on our first day - took us past many of the main touristic sites. But plenty of the hidden gems aswell. We particularly liked that it wasn’t timed so we could go at our own pace and explore/absorb the beautiful city as we went around.
We stopped for lunch at Pieminster in the market, recommended!!

Great fun with a little history - I planned this as a work team activity for 12 of us, unfortunately only 8 made it so we had to mix up the teams again.
Although we bumped in the the other team a couple of times it made it a little more competitive.
Some of the clues were difficult but you could have hints if needed. For some who have lived in Oxford for many years it was great to actually learn a little history by just looking up. We were a group age ranges from 22-68, and we all found it great fun, taking in a little history, a nice birthday drink for one at an old hidden treasure at the half way point.
Would definitely do it again and would definitely recommend.
Wear good shoes (for the cobbles) take an umbrella just in case.
When we got ton one clue, one team member told us about a book store that was below a music shop, it was HUGE and never knew it was there.

A great way to see Oxford - A great way to see the sights of Oxford, we go on a regular basis and this took us to areas we'd never seen before. There were some interesting facts along the way as well, would certainly recommend it.

Fun experience - An interesting and well-worth experience whether you know Oxford well or not. We had great fun as a family and the fact that you could take as much time as you wanted, stopping for drinks, lunch etc., made for a relaxing day.

Fab experience - Great scavenger hunt. There was lots to see and learn all along the route, lots to see and learn about and the opportunity to take your time and explore places further if you wanted to was an added bonus.

Fun and Illuminative! - Great fun and a fab way to see the sights. Have lived in Oxford for 3 years and learned lots of things I didn't know about the landmarks! You can stop and start as you please which was good for us - especially since we stopped off to get some top knotch gelato in the covered market as we made our way through town.
