Feedback “I and a Senior Executive Assistant in the UKI & Ireland Leadership team at WeWork. A big part of my job is team building activities. After some time on Google, I came across The Secret City which provides treasure hunt tours around London. I split the team into 3 and we had an amazing 2 hours racing each other across Soho.
The clues were extremely well done, not too hard, not too easy. It was really interesting learning all the information, and I saw things I had never noticed before.
The feedback from the team was 10/10, and the pub stop was the highlight! Would highly recommend this to any team, no matter how senior.”
