    Great way to spend a few hours. Bit of a history lesson and four pubs for refreshment Really well designed, and enough of a challenge without being too hard to solve Helped we had a really sunny day

    We loved it! Family friendly so it was easy for us problem solving loving adults but we enjoyed it nonetheless - it was a different, fun but chilled way to explore a city. Loved the pub stops, it really spread the clues out, meaning we could make the most of the hunt and our afternoon. The research that’s gone into it to bring out the specific history of York was great, definitely added to the experience and was interesting to learn about the city as well as to solve the clues. Only downside is the price - appreciate that the company has to make money and time and effort has gone into researching and creating the guides. We paid to travel to and stay in the city as well so it’s an extra cost when it’s not something we can reuse. But it’s not something we’d do on a regular basis and we enjoyed the treasure hunt adventure.

    We love a treasure trail and this was no exception! The trails makes you stop and see features you wouldn’t normally notice and visit different areas of the city. Fun clues to solve and satisfying when you complete. It took us about 2.5 hours

    This was a great place to do the tour, we saw so much more than we would have if we're just wondering around, certainly had to use the old brain on this one.
