1.00I was completely unable to access this tour despite having downloaded the app. I am not proficient at using a mobile but my husband is and tried on my behalf with no success.
An interesting and enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

5.00Allow plenty of time if you think you might want to investigate any of the places of interest. We're going back to the Cathedral snd Strangers Hall another day. The history information and story on the app is interesting and really adds to the walk. The instructions are easy to follow though we did lose signal around the cathedral so downloading the instructions would have been a good idea.
Disappointed

2.00Unfortunately we were unable to access the app and few places were up for refurbishment and couldn’t go in. So just went around trying to visit some of the sites that were open and accessible
Fun but Glitchy

3.00A good way to see historic locations that are not destinations. Glitchy with maps and I had trouble finding some plaques that would have provided answers to the hunt questions. The castle stop requires you to enter the pay area, but I was going to do that anyway. It was a fun thing to do but it could use some improvements.
Still a good way to visit Norwich

3.00It was fun but often stopped. Also I did all the tasks but only showed 10 of 13 which is completely wrong
