We had such a great time - it was great to show my friends Colchester but I also learnt a lot, went to places I had no idea about. A good length to walk also. I like that you don't need a guide and can go at your own pace. Especially enjoyed the Roman Circus - it was not open when we went but the woman saw us looking and showed us inside anyway, she spoke with such passion about Roman history and Colchester. Highly recommend.

Although the main picture is of a Roman Circus Visitor Centre display (permission to use not requested), this is not a tour of the Visitor Centre and should be made clear when booking - many disappointed groups have turned up expecting a guided tour! Different businesses!

We have done it with my 11 year old son. He loved it. A great way to explore a new city without being bored. Had some issues with signing in, texted tech support, they replied straight away and solved the problem instantly. A very happy customer!

Loved the storyline and challenges at each stop but most of all I enjoyed learning about Roman Colchester. The game ended right at the castle so we were able to go in and see more finds!

I was a tester for this game. I learnt a lot about my own town and would heartily recommend this walk to locals and visitors alike.
