Tons of walking and unexpected costs at some locations. Just buy one ticket, not one per person. - I bought a ticket for each member of my family when I could have just bought one ticket. A total rip off. I thought the additional tickets would grant us admittance to the locations, but that was not the case. 3 of the 9 locations required paid entry. On the days we went, 2 of the 9 locations were closed for city events. And on some of the clues, we couldn't find the answers at all and had to resort to Google. I'm trying not to give spoilers, so I don't want to be specific. The event is marketed as 1-2 hours, but if you're able to cover that much ground that quickly, you must be a marathoner. It took us two days because our kids are young, but we probably spent 6 hours in total. We wanted to see the places we were visiting, not just rush through each location. The extra time was a plus for us because we saw a lot of things we never would have seen otherwise. Just don't be surprised when you're less than half way done at the 2 hour mark. If the tour had included tickets to all the places we went to, it would have been worth the money. Or it could have only taken us to places free to the public. I just feel like I paid too much up front and then had to pay more at several stops without warning.
