Absolutely great fun, feet hurt, and we were a bit rubbish with some of the clues, but a magic day out. Totally recommend!

Had been to Edinburgh numerous times but the mystery guide took me to places I had not visited before and to see things I had never noticed - would definitely recommend!

Very engaging and I noticed things I would normally walk by. This made us research a bit more about the finds in the book.
