Horrible.terrible instruction Never went on scavenger hunt.. We made our own scavenger hunt just finding the Fairmont, and then unable to get instructions.
Terribly sorry you did not get to experience our activity. Did you attempt to reach out to us directly (not Viator but Tourist Scavenger Hunt) as we pride ourselves on 24/7 customer service? We would have helped you connect and get started.
