What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
Absolutely loved it, it was better than I imagined. So much fun and a great way to see the city. The icing on the cake was that we also won.
Fantastic experience, thoroughly enjoyed it and allowed us to see Manchester through new eyes whilst having fun at the same time! A great birthday gift and a fun way to spend an afternoon!
We had such a fun day , racing across Manchester , girls vs boys . We were engaged from the moment it started till the end . Really well thought through and easy to follow . Great way to see the city and enjoy time with friends . Looking forward to booking the London one for next year .
Had the best day , got a lot of steps in but was so fun!!
We really enjoyed the experience. Very clever how it all worked and we found bits of history of Manchester we had never seen or known about before. Would recommend that anyone booking plans to complete the experience in daylight as we found the final leg more difficult as it was dark by that point. But overall very good and would recommend to friends
Really good experience my only issue was that castlefield bowl was closed off for an event today. So ended up adding an extra 10 minutes or so trying to figure out where we should be going, as we ended up on the wrong side of it
