A great way to discover Edinburgh - We loved it! We had fun and learnt facts about the city. The clues are tricky enough to make you think, but easy enough so as not to make the game frustrating. It’s not too long, and all members of the group play as one team, so there’s no competition, which I enjoyed personally.

Loved it! - Loved it! Brilliant way to get to know the city and its history, and find a few lesser known spots. Really well organised. Great that we could stop and start and enjoy a few spots along the way (Museum of Scotland is fantastic - probably the best museum we’ve ever been to!). With stop offs, it filled the best part of a day. Highly recommend and will definitely do again in other cities.

Edinburgh treasure hunt- fun for all! - The tour around Edinburgh was great. Really good clue and a route that showed off a lot of Edinburgh. As recommended, I’d second the fact that you’re best off starting the quiz early… we started at about 3:30pm but stopped at some pubs and for food en route meaning the last few clues were trickier to find as it was getting dark. Really enjoyed it! We also went into the museum to the roof top terrace which was great and something we’d have never done if not for the quiz. Highly recommend 😊 Great fun, informative and well delivered.

Great fun! I'll be doing more in other cities! - So interesting getting to see parts of the city and spot things you might not otherwise notice. One of our group lives in Edinburgh, and even she learned things! A great way to see the city... and get your step count up! I've also done the Leeds one, and both have been great. I'd definitely do more in other cities.

A very nice exploring tour! - Really nice experience to have a funny tour of the city, looking for some curiosity and stories about the city! Sometimes a little bit of concentration may be needed, but this make the hunting more exciting! And if you are tired, go into the suggested pubs to taste a refreshing pint and then start again with a lot of energy It's really worth it!

Fun and informative treasure hunt around Edinburgh - This is the 3rd of these treasure hunts that we've done. They are such a fantastic way of following a great route through a city to find places you might otherwise miss. They also always recommend somewhere to stop and have refreshments. It was good fun, and some of the clues are usually tricky, so it is also a good challenge.

Fantastic on so many levels - Fantastic fun, so informative, see areas of the city that you might not see - we certainly did and have visited the city on many many occasions, encourages you to be aware of your surroundings and to pay attention to what should be obvious. Would think it would be suitable for most ages. Would highly recommend as you do this at your own pace.
