Good fun! - We were very excited about the ‘Taco Trade’ and it lived up to the expectations - was good fun and well thought out. Only suggestion we would make would be to possibly have more options of foods at the eateries (e.g. a dessert option, or even a drink option) - looking forward to doing another of these on our next London trip!

Sweet treats, steps and melon scratching - Loved this, wasn't sure what to expect but it was an epic day filled with sweet treats many many steps, a lot of melon scratching and a load of laughs too. The clues were mind boggling at times, I thought it would be easier and considered bringing my 10year old, I'm glad I didn't!
Would have liked to know where we'd ranked on the leaderboard but I'm just happy we completed it!

Perfect date day - We had the best time completing the Rickshaw race. We got to explore parts of Camden we hadn’t seen before and try new food spots we wouldn’t usually stop at. The questions varied from easy to hard but we managed to complete it without much help! We will definitely return to try another maze!

Cool for team building day! - The treasure hunt was a great success as a work team building day out.
The clues weren’t too hard and the food we were served was really good. We weren’t rushed to leave anywhere and felt welcomed when we arrived at each venue.

Great experience, enjoyed by all. - We were a party of four, two couples in our late 50’s, and had a great time on the Secrets of the Crown tour. The attention to detail was brilliant and the experience took us to parts of London we had never seen or noticed before.
The start was a little confusing as we had assumed we would be eating at the first stop, but this wasn’t the case. However, once we got on our way it became much more straightforward. The food at all stops was very good. Main course portion was a little small, but we probably couldn’t have eaten much more to be honest.
The only negative was our internet access at the last stop made finishing the tour and solving the mystery very difficult. None of us could connect to 4G or 5G and guest wifi. I needed a code to connect which was emailed, but without data I couldn’t get the email. This really needs to be sorted in order to end the tour successfully. That said, it didn’t spoil the day.
We loved the experience. It was so well thought out and put together and we would definitely do another Gourmaze tour in the future.

Great fun and perfect activity to catch up with friends and discover London. - We had a lovely time! One of the venues was very busy but we managed to find a seat to order. All the staff knew what we were doing and made us feel welcome. Very well planned out.

A treat of a treasure hunt and undiscovered gems - On a sunny February afternoon my husband and I started the Talisman Treats treasure hunt. The clues were fiendish and we discovered parts of London we've never been to before as well as eating at places we have seen but never tried previously. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the food was high quality and well worth the money. One tiny glitch at the first venue when the server gave our order to another couple that were also on the treasure hunt (they had ordered after us) the owner was so apologetic and gave us another dish and sat us down at a table. Overall an brilliant experience and one we would recommend. We're already planning to do another one soon.

Fantastic fun and food! - Bought for my friend for their birthday. We had a really fantastic time with lots of tasty food. It was great that the food locations were independent places and unique in London but also had a choice! Would really recommend it!
