Awesome 🙌
We had an absolutely brilliant time! The tour was engaging, and the storyline kept us hooked from start to finish. Our favourite part was solving the clues scattered around the city — it felt like we were stepping into a real detective story. The combination of historical landmarks and clever puzzles made it both entertaining and educational.
Honestly, there was nothing we felt needed improving. The directions were clear, the pacing was perfect, and the overall experience delivered exactly what we were hoping for.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, interactive way to explore Melbourne CBD while testing their sleuthing skills!
