All York's amazing hidden gems in one place
What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
Amazing day! We really, really enjoyed the whole day!! The game was so clever! The only thing was, one of the clues (a sign from a pub) had been removed so we were stood there absolutely ages just completely confused!! We had to Google in the end to see if we could get an older photo of the pub to see what we were missing! Other than that, it was faultless! Definitely will be booking to do another one!
Mum and I LOVED our time out in York, exploring bits we don't think we'd have noticed without CityDays guiding us there. Thank you so much! For sure booking again!!
A great day out with clues that were not too easy and not too difficult. Would recommend!
This is the second one of these we have done, we love them. Great day out and takes you places you've not been before. Also found a gorgeous cafe along the way
Such good fun, clever clues, and the trail took us to see parts of York we have never seen before! Loved it!
What a fantastic opportunity to have fun and explore York. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
