Great way to see Edinburgh and have a bit of fun - We'd already done the castle and Holyrood and taken a site seeing bus, and wanted to see around a bit more of the city on foot. The treasure hunt was a great mix of having to take your time and be observant whilst also enjoying seeing bits of the city you'd easily miss. Absolutely recommend this treasure hunt.

Great Team Builder Activity - We had a fantastic experience with Treasure Hunt Edinburgh. I had booked this as a fun team-building activity post strategy day. Ian and Paul were great at helping organise everything and it was easy to book, make changes, and receive instructions. The activity itself is a great, fun, and outdoor experience that definitely brings out people's competitive edge and critical thinking. As it was August Ian and Paul were clear around whether the Edinburgh Fringe would have an impact and asked if we wanted to change the date but we were still able to do the activity with no barriers to the clues but we appreciated the transparency and flexibility if we wanted to change. You are also billed based on attendance so even if there's last minute changes the price remains fair. Overall, a really great activity. Just be mindful Edinburgh is very hilly and so may not be accessible for all but there are ways and means around it.

A great tour and lovely couple of hours well spent - The Treasure Hunt was easy to obtain and arrange. The "team" (Paul and Ian) were very helpful from start to finish. Everything came as promised. When we started it was easy and the method of giving us instructions and guidance and then clues was straightforward and good to use. The Hunt itself was challenging to an extent without being too difficult or simplistic and so is pitched at an appropriate level for different family members to enjoy. The sights in Edinburgh are obviously good as millions of tourists can't be wrong but it was good to learn of new facts about the city that we hadn't been aware of before. Overall VG and thoroughly recommended.

Hen Party 🥳 - Hen party quest! Had a great time and helped us to explore the city even though we're practically locals! Good balance of challenging with ease.

Brilliant Team Building Activity - We did the treasure hunt as part of a client team building day and it was a fantastic activity for getting people working together and also seeing the city. Worked seamlessly and everyone could go at their own pace. We shifted our timeline around the weather and grabbing lunch so it was also totally flexible. Would highly recommend!

A great way to discover Edinburgh - We loved it! We had fun and learnt facts about the city. The clues are tricky enough to make you think, but easy enough so as not to make the game frustrating. It’s not too long, and all members of the group play as one team, so there’s no competition, which I enjoyed personally.

Loved it! - Loved it! Brilliant way to get to know the city and its history, and find a few lesser known spots. Really well organised. Great that we could stop and start and enjoy a few spots along the way (Museum of Scotland is fantastic - probably the best museum we’ve ever been to!). With stop offs, it filled the best part of a day. Highly recommend and will definitely do again in other cities.

Good day - Fun activity for us to start the day with few other people but mid morning, was crowded so that dampened our spirits. Overall great experience.

Recommend it! - We had a great time in Edinburgh on the Treasure Hunt. Good fun, not too tricky (we probably would have preferred it to be more cryptic like York was) - definitely recommend it and we will be back to do more cities!
