Enjoyable and interesting walk around Bath
This was a great way to have a walk around Bath, finding out interesting things about the city and enjoying solving the clues. Difficult enough to get you thinking but easy enough not to be put off by obscure and cryptic questions. Throughly enjoyable and different. It took us to some places we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. I would recommend it for anyone visiting Bath.

Fun way to explore Bath
Great fun. Learned a lot about bath and the clues were well done. Takes you around the Bath highlights and plenty of places to stop and rest.
Great for 7 years+.

An absolute treasure
Fantastic - just completed Bath hunt having done Oxford earlier in the year. Loved every second - taking our time, no rush, so many quirky facts and fun for the whole family. Highly recommend.
Operator response
It's brilliant to hear you've now tried both Oxford and Bath and had a great time with each. We really appreciate the recommendation, and hopefully you'll be back for another hunt in a new city! Thanks for the lovely review.

Bath treasure hunt walking tour.
Great fun family activity, everyone participated and enjoyed it. The tour took in some lovely sights of Bath and gave us new interesting information along the way, even though we've visited before. Mainly flat and some gentle inclines around the city centre so no problem taking a baby in a pram. It took us a few hours so we did take a rest half way through at the crescent park. Would definitely do another city treasure hunt.
Operator response
Fantastic to hear you all had such a good time, and it's great to know the hunt worked well for the whole family. We hope you'll join us for another adventure in a different city sometime! Thanks for the lovely review.

Great way to see Bath on foot
We really enjoyed the tour of Bath that the Treasure Hunt gave us and although we had visited many times there were places we hadn’t seen.
We overthought the clues sometimes and it took us all day, but we stopped for drinks and lunch so that elongated it somewhat! It was really good and we definitely recommend it.
Operator response
Brilliant to hear that the hunt gave you a chance to discover some new corners of Bath, even after visiting the city so many times! And taking all day with a few drinks and a leisurely lunch sounds like a pretty good way to do it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Fantastic
Bath was the fourth one we’ve done, having previously done Liverpool, Bristol and Chester. As always we had a great time exploring a city we know and love and learning so much more about its history. We’re already our next city!
Operator response
Four cities and counting! Love that you keep coming back, and even better that the trasure hunt still managed to teach you something new about a city you already know so well. Hope you enjoy your next one!

Brilliant Bath Treasure Hunt
Captain Bess treasure hunts are the best way to get to know a new place. Fun puzzles and lots of facts about the place as you go round. The Bath treasure hunt is the fourth one we've done and just as good as all the others.

So glad to hear you keep coming back! Thanks for leaving a review. Paul ⚔️

Just the right level of challenge but you need to be fit.
I went with my daughter, who knows Bath a little better than I do.
We had a great time. The weather was dry but windy. That helped.
We enjoyed working out the answers to the clues but when we couldn't, the hints still left us with some work to do so we still had a sense of achievement when we got it right. We met lots of other tourists doing various treasure hunts. It was fun meeting them.
The maps, that were given in sections, were really easy to follow, which added to the fun because we never really got lost.
I found the walking was further than I had expected. I think it would be helpful if the distance covered was listed in the description so that people can judge whether they can manage it. I am nearly 72 and I began the day with a limp. By the end my feet were sore and I was very tired but I'm still glad I did it.

Glad the clues and hints struck the right balance, and thanks as well for the helpful note on distance. Fair play for seeing it through — thanks for the review! Ian 🦜
