Fun way to see a city

This is a fun activity with some interesting history to be learned as you solve puzzles and follow clues. It was a different way to see a city and I look forward to doing more in the future. I already owned the London and Brighton books but haven't done them yet. Only thing I do not understand is how this company charge £7.50 per person when you can buy the books online,for £14.99, and do it with as many people as you like. I would recommend this activity, we had a lot of fun.
A great idea for families

Some of the puzzles were slightly tricky. We enjoyed cracking them. We saw lots of the city without the kids getting bored.
A fun and interesting thing to do.

A lot of interesting history; easy to follow trail. We found places we never would have normally. I don't know why I paid for 2 people but was only given one book of clues.
Enjoyable and fun way to pass a few hours
