Loved every minute!”
I bought this as a Christmas present for some friends. It was a wonderful way to spend some quality time with each other and it was such fun.
We got to see sights that we wouldn’t normally see and it was great exercise too.
We had such a laugh”
The clues and the maps are a lot of fun. We learnt new things and appreciated the beautiful scenery as we went around the city.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone as it was such an amazing experience. We had a lot of smiles and laughter and haven't stopped talking about it since.
