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.

Great day out with Mystery Guides - After being given the Cambridge mystery guide for Christmas, we waited for the February half term to begin our adventure. We regularly visit Cambridge but what was great was discovering new places we’d never seen before. The factual information was excellent and my children loved working together to crack codes and look for clues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone as we bumped into a couple and another family doing the same thing! We completed it in one day, stopping for lunch and coffees along the way.

Da Vinci Code esque puzzle trail around Cambridge - A fantastic way to see any city! I’ve lived near and visited Cambridge countless times but this fab tour made me see parts I’d never seen before and bits I have in a totally different way. Would highly recommend this

Brilliant - Absolutely brilliant, first trip to Cambridge, steeped in history and amazing finds that we would have not seen if we just came without this. Loved it that much we ordered more on one of the pub stops..

A great family adventure around a lovely place - We gave a couple of these as presents, and got one for ourselves. We absolutely loved this adventure. We did this adventure with our ten year old son. We let him tale the lead, and took it in turns. We found we often has to all work together, and we all contributed. We really enjoyed it, and will certainly be gifting these again, and getting another one for us.

Bit of fun for kids! - Target market should clearly be 8-12 year olds - this was a bit of fun, but can't see it being much entertainment without young children around as it was all very easy - nothing required any real brain power. One of the clues was already out of date and we couldn't get into the last one as the establishment wasn't open when we did it which was a bit of a let down. Took just over an hour (advertised time was 3 hours!) Definitely not worth £19.99!
