Highly recommend even if you think you know London!

Excellent, we are 2 friends - know London well and wanted to do something a bit different. This is it. I found places I didn’t know existed and I thought I knew London well! We loved that everything came to both phones so we were both fully involved.

Great way of spending time with family over Christmas

Great time, and lovely way to spend fun time with wider family. Saw parts of London that we had not visited recently, good clues. Only feedback may be to start teams off at different points

Fun and fantastic way to play and learn in a new city!

A wonderful way to encourage people to look below the busy surface of the city and dust off your Thinking Caps for a little while when on vacation. The clues were quite tricky and towards the end we had to switch to the easier versions because the persistent crowds in this area of busy London had exhausted us a bit. The “easier” clues still made us think quite a bit, so it would’ve still been a wonderful experience had we started on those! I think we would’ve enjoyed this more on a weekday afternoon and had we just slowed down and taken our time to enjoy the areas around the clues a bit more. But it was also a great introduction to the neighborhoods and gave us some good ideas of places that we came back to later in our trip to explore a bit further and enjoy at a more leisurely pace! Highly recommend.

Brilliant day out

This was such a good day out, we really enjoyed the clues, which were quite tricky at times! We found out loads of interesting info about London and saw some places we’d never have stumbled upon. Would highly recommend.

Great way to explore London

Great treasure hunt, really enjoyed looking for the answers to the clues. Saw some amazing places through alleys and yards that we'd never seen before. Unfortunately the Trafalgar Square one we were unable to answer as they are doing some building work there atm (but we did have a few wrong guesses at it!) Great way to explore London and learn lots of stuff. Recommended.

So happy to hear you had a fantsatic time :)

Rubbish experience

Dreadful experience. Took 3 hours to get the app working. Too few instructions, confusing clues, gave up and abandoned it.

Family of 4 treasure hunt

We saw some beautiful parts of London we didn't even know existed. Our 11yr old was a bit bored but to be honest she's always "bored". It was beautifully organised.

Operator response

Terrible customer service

I never got the link to start; customer service ignored my chats, email bounced back undeliverable, and phone call was not answered- there was a recording saying to email for assistance. If I could give zero stars I would.

Operator response

Hi Diane, Sorry to hear you had issue with the customer service - was this through TripAdvisor or directly with us at CityDays.com - please can you reach out to hello@citydays.com and we'll make this right for you. Kind regards, Tom

Fun day out to explore London (even if you think you know it inside out!)

Me and my best friend both were born & grew up in London and the Secret of the Squares treasure hunt gave us an opportunity to explore the city we knew so well in a different way and learn & see new things on the way! London almost felt like a different city during this hunt with how much more we were noticing around us and learning about what we were passing! It was so much fun, and the perfect level of difficulty for brain scratching & enjoyment! We highly recommend!
