Great way to sightseeing off the beaten track - Really great way to spend a day, fun and interactive and has a great balance that makes both adults and children (our son turned 11 that day) stay engaged and really think. Great pub recommendation at clue 10 which rather handily happened to be where we were standing just as the heavens opened. Spent a good hour or so in there by the fireplace! If we had told our son we were spending two hours walking round the city we would have been met with lots of moing and groaning but going on a treasure hunt tour he was engaged and chatty the whole way round!

Great morning out - Decided this was how we were going to spend our Saturday morning. Treasure hunt in Manchester and we’ve both always lived here. We were a bit skeptical that we were just going to see the arndale and the cathedral but it was nothing of the sort. Fantastic day out. Took 2 and a half hours with a stop for a beer and some nibbles. We found some really interesting spots and really enjoyed actually taking in our surroundings. We will be 100% be looking for more activities like this and plan to do something like this in neighbouring cities. Top Tip - make sure your phone is charged and we swapped phones to do clues to reserve our battery life Take a drink for your walking, most of it’s outside and it’s Manchester so maybe a coat or umbrella too.

Great team building activity! - Such a great activity for team days/team building. We were fortunate with the weather which made it even better. Only downside was the lovely pub on the canal (recommended stop for a breather) was shut at the time we did it which was a shame as it looked lovely!

A day to treasure! - Booked this trip for a friend and I. We’re from Manchester but always looking for something different and this was perfect. A really fun way to tour the city and we still learned things we didn’t know. Stopped off for lunch at The Wharf which was great. Very pleased with our final score too! This is a brilliant way to spend a day whether you’re a visitor or born here - and great value for money.

Great team building activity to suit all ages and abilities. - We arranged this Treasure Hunt in Manchester as a Team Building activity. My colleagues were sceptical but we all had a really great time. We knew Manchester but we still learnt a lot, the clues were challenging, maps and information were really clear. There are some good pit stops along the route as well. Would highly recommend.

Great corporate event - We did the treasure hunt as part of a corporate event as something different to do. It was a great success. Despite having working in Manchester for a long time we discovered places we haven't been before. Would highly recommend

Summertime fun - Great family fun and a great way to explore the city. Some of the clues aren’t that straight forward but that made it all the better.
