Amazing - Amazing way of exploring a city, it was so fun to work out all the clues whilst exploring and also getting history information at the same time. The tour took us in places that we will for sure have missed otherwise. Recommended!

Fun with friends - Great way to view and find out about the city. The clues were stimulating but not impossible to solve; and there were plenty of hostelries on the route so we could stop and start as we pleased. Highly recommend.

Great idea! - We only live just outside of Newcastle but I wanted to do something with the kids that wasn't just pottering around the shops or museums so I found the treasure hunt and we loved it - we totally failed at most of the clues without using the hints, but that didn't matter and we still enjoyed our time exploring the city and learning some unknown historical facts. It was the perfect length for the kids although I would have loved to have gone down some of the smaller streets and even further afield into lesser known areas - so maybe you could have two options for a longer and shorter version. Great though and thanks for the recommendations on food etc too.

Ehh, I guess if you have nothing else to do - Takes you on a good loop around the city but also frustrating and slow. I get the “charm” of the treasure map and pirate talk but I would have rather it been more straight forward.
