A great experience - We loved the treasure hunt, it was really easy to follow, I have been living in Birmingham for 33 years and I learnt so much I didn’t know. Was so much fun and look forward to doing another one. Thank you also for making the route wheelchair accessible as this was very important to us as we was trying to find an activity my friend could take part in. 🙏

Great fun with historical and interesting aspects - Great city tour that takes you a little off the beaten track of the immediate city centre by taking in some jewellery quarter and St Paul’s square. Fun interactive WhatsApp instructions and clues. Pays £30 for 4 ( well worth it) and had 3 hours of fun with a drink stop. Not too far to walk over time. 100% recommend

Great way to get to know the city - The treasure hunt is a great way to take a in our case first look around the city. It makes you navigate and look around making you get familiar with Birmingham. Would recommend!

Great way to see and learn about Birmingham - Hi, we thoroughly enjoyed the few hours working our way around Birmingham, working out clues. The ice and snow inhibited us a bit, but that was just unlucky! There were a couple of clues which were covered by scaffolding. The library 1 we had help from a worker behind the scaffolding, and the owl clue on a building with scaffolding on it was a guess! We really enjoyed the info given about parts of Birmingham City 😀 Admission price was fair and length of walk was just right. Loved around the canal.

A fun day out - Really enjoyed following the clues and learning more about Birmingham’s history. The Joining instructions are very straightforward to follow.. Very easy to use App and it offers really useful advice of where you can take breaks during the tour. The tour offers great value for money and it’s good exercise too, would recommend to others.

Enjoyable family afternoon, would recommend - We know Birmingham quite well as it’s our closest city. We wanted to do something as a family (with teenagers) to get out and about but not travel too far and having done the York t- hunt a few years ago we thought we’d give it a try. An enjoyable couple of hours including seeing a few bits of Birmingham we’d not walked past previously and finding out some facts we hadn’t known before. Maybe a couple more clues during the longer gaps but overall would def recommend. We did another in Chester with friends this week too!

A fab way to explore a city! - We spent a thoroughly enjoyable day exploring Birmingham while doing this treasure hunt. A great way to see the city and parts of it that we would otherwise have missed. This is about the 5th one of these types of hunts that we've done and there will be more! Highly recommended!

Great day out with the kids - We thought we knew everything about Birmingham but we actually learnt loads! A great half term day out with the kids, would highly recommend. Stopped for a drink at 1000 trades which is a real hidden gem.
