Had a fabulous day doing the snicketways scavenger hunt. Saw places that I had never noticed before, despite living so close. Would thoroughly recommend and I’m looking forward to trying some other hunts.

Would highly recommend for a day out! We completed the secret city as a team social with our university and all thoroughly enjoyed! ‘The quirks and snickets’ trail took us around many areas of York we had never noticed before and allowed us to stop for refreshments at cute cafes and pubs along the way including the minster Inn which served amazing stone baked pizza and homemade food. Look forward to trying the other trails next time too! Thanks to the ‘Secret city team’ for being prompt to reply to any queries and questions and going the extra mile to help! Top class service! Thankyou.
