Lovely way to explore the city - A lovely way in to exploring the city, especially with children. I liked that it wasn’t prescriptive and that you could follow in whatever order made sense to your day! Only got through a handful of doors as we got distracted by other things, but will definitely carry on another time.

Fun tour and good value. - We enjoyed this tour. We didn’t have time to complete them all but bought the app for £8.50. You can also buy a map for a donation. It was fun finding the doors and the stories made us smile. Thank you for a fun afternoon.

Explore Cambridge the fun way - I wanted to explore cambridge solo and thought this would be a fun, intresting way to do it. The website was easy to use, directions were easy using Google maps and great stories behind each one.

A really magical experience - With a day to fill between hospital appointments at Addenbrookes (and not being allowed to eat) this tour was an absolute life saver. My son and I had the most fabulous time hunting for doors. He absolutely loved all the detail and searching for clues. The story really captured his imagination and what could have been a really tricky miserable day turned into a day we'll remember for a very long time. Searching for each door helped us spot things in each neighbourhood that we just wouldn't have seen otherwise and whenever we stopped to take photos, it was lovely to help other people discover the doors too.

Fun on a wet day in Cambridge - This was a very fun thing to do around the centre of Cambridge with a nine year old on a damp day in November. Great for kids to learn some orienteering skills and we loved the back stories for each of the doors.

brilliant interactive door hunt! - This is such a good way to tour the city - it'll take you to places you may not have otherwise visited (I'm looking at you Cambridge Museum of Technology) and you get to see some amazing works of art (dinky doors) at the same time ❤

A good challenge - Our favourite was the Dinky Door on Riverside, but we didnt manage to see them all. Plenty left for a second trip. We were amazed how well built they are and sturdy, although some could do with a wash and brush up and one had weeds growing in it. It was a good challenge and a nice way to see more of the city. Thank you.

Great walking day with the family. - Great fun to do with the family of any age group (non-elderly) on a dry day. There is quite a bit of walking involved. It does require some effort to navigate the map as the starting point is always from the recommended starting point. However, one you figure out how to change the start / end points then its easy to follow. Half of the doors are in one area of the city and the other half is about 30mins walk away so, if you only have half a day in the city, you will not be able to get to all the doors. It was not necessary to pay for all participants as the cost should only be for one map rather than the whole group! Just pay for one person and load it up on phone of the phones.
