- Honestly, I am raving to all my friends and family about this! It was brilliant! What a fantastic idea, so much fun! We saw new parts of Manchester and loved the competition element.
- What a fun way to explore Manchester! And to top it off getting #1 rank! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting🫶🏻 just remember to wear good shoes!
- Brilliant day. We really enjoyed the experience. Well worth doing.
- After tackling the one in London we decided to do the Manchester one, it proved to be really good fun but due to diminishing daylight is was almost impossible to find and see a couple of the clues, even with torches but we earned the very interesting name of "lovely dawdlers" and this is so appropriate as one team member was on crutches. Staff in every venue were welcoming & puzzles within the establishments were fun. As this was our 2nd city booking we were hoping for more than a fridge magnet Cheers from DIL and Mil
- We had the best day! Would highly recommend for a fun and educational day out.
- Loved it! So much fun! We’ve done all 3 races and had an amazing time getting competitive and discovering more about each city - love the breaks stops on the way too. Highly recommend!
