Discovering hidden gems on an adventure around Birmingham - The Treasure hunt was an excellent way to explore Birmingham. The route was interesting and the clues really made you look up, down and all around you! The text messages explaining the route were easy to follow and the extra historical information provided was a bonus. Definitely recommended as a great way to explore the city and discover some hidden gems.

Fun way to explore the city - A really enjoyable and informative way of getting to see parts of the city I am pretty sure we wouldn't have explored or even noticed. The challenges were not too difficult and made us look and notice what was around us. The option for a hint was great in case we got stuck, but we found keeping going and re-reading through the clues helped. Loved the little bits of history and additional information as we went round. All in all a great few hours well spent. I'd love to do one again with a group of friends and introduce a more competitive element. But it worked great just with the two of us.

Great Fun!! - We had a great time, the treasure hunt really helped us explore the city, find hidden gems and learn more about Bham. The way it was done was great. Would definitely recommend this to all ages, groups of family or friends. Lots of great places to stop for food/coffee or to make it a pub crawl!!!

Loved it - Very good, we all enjoyed it. Me who works in Birmimgham and had walked past all these places, and every track, without knowing what i was walking past. And my parents who didn't know so much about Brum but now know a little, well a lot, more about Birminghams past and history. Well done

Brilliant treasure hunt!!!! - Never done this type of thing before. Absolutely loved it. The clues were fun and not too difficult. Gives you a great tour of Birmingham and you get to learn a lot about the city's history. The interaction by phone was spot on. Also gives you plenty of time to grab some food and refreshments. Can't recommend it highly enough!!!!

Superb fun way to explore the city - What a superb day!! We started off aimlessly wandering then discovered this fantastic treasure hunt which showed us places we would never have found, learning interesting and fun facts along the way! We called ourselves Lost Sheep. Because we're Welsh, kept getting lost (blame the many pubs!) and my son said my coat made me look like a sheep....didn't stop him borrowing it when he got cold tho! Lol Would totally recommend this if youre new to Birmingham and want to see all the best bits. It took us a whole day to complete (did I mention the pubs?!?) so was excellent value for money. Thanks for helping us make happy memories!

A good way to explore a city, test our brain power, have a laugh and visit a few pubs on the way! - We are a group of ladies who met at Uni and usually meet up once a year. This treasure hunt was a good way to explore Birmingham, test our brain power, have a laugh and visit a few pubs on the way. We got a bit side tracked in one of the later pubs but were able to finish the hunt the next morning so having that flexibility was good. We’d definitely do this again in another city!
