    We had a great time walking around Nottingham finding lots of hidden places. The questions were just right not too easy not too hard…so we still felt we had achieved something. We didn’t know what to expect but found it most enjoyable that we are going to do York next. So thank you.

    Hi folks! Thank you so much for a wonderful exploration around Nottingham for my birthday. There was no way I thought something that looked like a dodgy undergeound car park would end up being such a wonderful sight. My only issue is one that isn't your fault and .sure you're probably aware of it. The Byron and Charles Dickens golden plaque isn't there anymore. Otherwise, amazing stuff! Hoping to do a London one soon if you can recommend a similar style run.

    Really enjoyed our trip round Nottingham, lots of steps walked and saw bits of the city we might not have done. The questions and directions were a little easy (previously done the sheffield one and this was a lot easier). It would be good if you could pause for a break at different intervals as we stopped for a drink earlier than scheduled which obviously added to our time. I'd recommend to someone else though!
