Really fun way to explore - This was a great way to explore Chester. The treasure hunt took us to some of the most interesting points in the city, providing fun clues and information along the way. Being able to have multiple players meant our children could get involved as well, which was great for keeping everyone engaged.

Fun day of exploring beautiful Chester! - The treasure hunt was really fun and we got to spend time in parts of Chester we wouldn’t have visited otherwise. The route was very scenic.

Enjoyable walk and with plenty to learn. - Enjoyable walk albeit a bit chilly. Some of the clues needed hints but managed a few without. Although we have lived in Chester for 15 views we learnt quite a few things and visited places we wouldn't have normally visited. Probably walk it again with family.

Great way to see Chester, whatever the weather - Great way to explore city of Chester, especially on a rain soaked day. Kept us on our toes so we hardly noticed the grey skies, although sun briefly appeared as we walked along the river. It’s well worth stepping inside St John’s Church. Some the clues slightly taxing but the hints helped. Now look forward to doing some other treasure hunts.

Great fun and full of interesting information - I have lived in Chester all my life and yet I learned so many new things! We loved the treasure hunt. We made 3 pit stops on the route as the weather was so bad but it did not dampen our fun! Would highly recommend doing this. We plan to do the Liverpool one when it’s a bit drier!

Great way to explore the city - We decided on a treasure hunt for a half term activity with my 7 year old and my Mum as we didn't know Chester at all. It was a brilliant way to see the city. Great clues, kept us entertained all day, with stops for ice creams and lunch. The instructions were really clear and hints when needed. I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for an activity to entertain people of a range of ages.

Great experience! - Really fantastic way to see round Chester which kept our 11 year old and us interested and amused! Just the right length and good suggestions to stop and have a snack or coffee. Grateful for the hints on a few occasions, overall a very worthwhile experience!

A good day out - This was a thoroughly enjoyable day. The walk with lots of info took us to some areas that we would never have seen. The clues are just hard enough to make you think but easy enough to work out.
