    Even though we've been to Birmingham hundreds of times before, doing this scavenger hunt helped us discover more about Brum than we ever knew.Great fun, we'll be booking another for our next trip away.

    Great fun. Learned some things I didn't know about Birmingham.

  • Birmingham review by United

    Really enjoyable experience. We learnt new things about the city of Brum.There is scaffolding outside the hotel opposite Grand Central so could not get the answer to one of the last clues (think it was hidden by the scaffolding) - we didn’t mind though, the experience was a lot of fun.

  • Birmingham review by Team PM

    It was a great experience! As a group of 3 students, we loved how interactive and unusual this is. I'm simply bored on most of the tours and then don't even remember the majority of facts they told us. But here because we had to explore everything ourselves it was incredibly fun! The communication was easy and quick too.

    We had a great time exploring Birmingham, it's amazing that even though you live in a city you can be missing out on so much history! CityDays did a great job of sending us around the city centre and the clues were great, just hard enough to really make us think :)A great day out for us and the dog!
