Five Go Mad in Cambridge - Having already enjoyed the Mystery Adventure in Cardiff with a group of Welsh friends, I was given a Mystery Adventure for Cambridge. I gathered 4 U3A friends, bought an extra copy and set off for Cambridge. It did help to have 2 books between 5 of us, so that everyone was involved. The clues were not difficult enough to put us off, but the solving of them did cause us to look closely at things we'd never noticed before. We made a day of it, including morning coffee, lunch and of course a trip to the pub! We all had great fun and I have passed the website link to so many people - that I think I deserve a free one!

The Wandering Super Sleuths! - Had a fabulous day in Cambridge. We visited parts that we wouldn’t have and had a lot of fun and laughs along the way. Would highly recommend these guides. We have just bought Winchester, Bath and Edinburgh on the 3 for 2 offer :)

Explore Cambridge and have a laugh - The perfect blend of fact and fiction, silliness and substance. A perfect way to explore a city with friends. I've lived near Cambridge for years and I saw many things I'd never noticed before. Would highly recommend.

A day out with a difference! Can be enjoyed by three generations together. - We did the Cambridge walk/tour on Sunday 7th. The weather was kind for us but rather windy (the remains of storm Kathleeen), the sun shone and it was very enjoyable. There were three generations of us, pooling our brain power and we got to the solution. We had had a fabulous afternoon out and we all had enjoyed each other’s company. I’m buying York next for when we visit later this year.

Fun, relaxed - Great way to see the city. Loved the bit of history mixed with a story. Saw some lovely buildings and made us notice things we may have walked by. Easy to take at own pace, stopping for refreshments en route.

Cambridge Caper - Found this really good fun,not too challenging,strangely it was clue 16 that confused us the most too many V’s until the numerals clicked. Great to walk through places we would otherwise never find and all the history snippets were interesting.As a trio of ladies the end reveal for us was perfect and again somewhere we would have just walked by Look forward to completing more in the future

Enjoyable roam around Cambridge finding clues - Following clues around Cambridge we found new details that we'd not noticed before (we have lived in the area for decades). It was a pleasant stroll and challenging enough to be fun.

A unique way of having a town/city walk. - Whenever we visit a town or city and want to walk around it, and find out about where we are visiting, we usually pop along to the local Information centre and pick up a town plan. We found about ‘Mystery Guides’ and we decided to buy this for our visit to Cambridge. The Mystery Guide not only takes you around the area but also gives you a different way to find out about the various areas, Solving the clues becomes a fun part of the walk. We completed the Cambridge Mystery guide in about 3 hours including a very enjoyable Coffee and Crepe enroute. And yes, we did solve the puzzle. We are now looking towards planning other places using Mystery Guides.
