5.00Really great day trip to do. Stopped at a few pubs along the way too. Lovely way to explore Norwich. Even had a short stop in the cathedral. Great to do with couples, small groups and the dog!
Excellent value for money

5.00Be prepared for walking. Lovely experience, found out a lot of history around the town centre. Game could be paused enabling a more indepth view of certain aspects, taking photos or time to grab a cuppa. Had a lovely time.
Just average

3.00Okay, but not that great. Would have preferred more sites and history, and less game. Not really interested in points and competition.
Good insight to Norwich

1.00Disaster, meeting place was not manned Found out that the meeting did not start until 12pm. I was not aware that this was the commencement, however the meeting point was surrounded by security fencing.
An interesting way to see the city

3.00An interesting way to see the city, but compromised by some glitches. The tour took us on a walking tour of a number of interesting historical sites in the city, but at times the directions were unclear. Also, although the site says that once you have downloaded the tour internet access was no longer necessary, in places where there was no mobile signal the app effectively stopped working; after the first couple of checkpoints, it also failed to show our own location on the map. And the app crashed all the time, requiring a reload.
Best value for money day out!!

5.00What a fantastic way to explore a new city. The tour took you to all the interesting places in Norwich, most of which you’d never find on your own. It gave information about the history of each site and the quest to find each clue gave a real purpose to the trip. It was amazing fun, just the right length, incredibly interesting and you could do it all at your own pace. The best £££ I’ve ever spent. Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Enjoyable walking tour for the family.
