Good times - Great way to spend some time learning about one of our major cities. I'm a local but I still learnt something:-) Give it a go.

Treasure Hunt Birmingham - A brilliant way to get to know a new city. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt in Birmingham. The questions were just right and the facts were interesting and with the right amount of information. We went at a leisurely pace and it took us just over two hours. The process of purchasing the treasure hunt and the information beforehand was very good and well presented. We are definately going to purchase treasure hunts for other cities. I would highly recommend the Fun, Flexible Treasure Hunt around Birmingham with cryptic clues and hidden gems.

Fun afternoon treasure hunting around Birmingham. - Had an afternoon to kill whilst wives were at the NEC so went into Birmingham and did the treasure hunt. Clues that were challenging enough to he interesting and not a tick box exercise. A well planned out route, of about the right length, and nice stops (pubs) along the way. We took the odd detour like into the library but that worked well too. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Eye opener for the beauty of Birmingham city centre - So much fun while searching for the clues. We loved discovering the historical part of the city and the interaction with captain Bess was great 😃. The parcours was perfect to keep everyone still interested for 2 hours, even for true Brummies

A Great Team Day Out - Used this tour for an awayday for a group of remote workers who wanted to get together and have a fun morning out. This really was an excellent idea and a great way of seeing the city. I actually grew up in Birmingham, but I learned so much.thoroughly recommended.

Great adventure round the sites of Birmingham. - Awesome treasure hunt to have a really nice look around Birmingham. Ideal if you want to look at the sights if you haven’t been here before. With 2 kids 5 and 8 years old, took us a couple of hours. Great bit of exercise. 👍🏻

Enjoyable Introduction to Birmingham - The tour is fun, engaging, informative and enjoyable. My attention was drawn to elements of the city I'd not appreciated before. It was a great way the spend the day with someone from a different generation. However, we weren't advised that there were several large groups doing the tour at the same time as us until after we'd booked and this did detract slightly from our enjoyment. My young companion was very distracted by what other people were looking at during our search for clues and at times, there was a small crowd around a landmark. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend as a fun half day out and a great introduction to the history of Birmingham.
