Not a 'bard' day out! - An excellent day out in the lovely town of Stratford Upon Avon, made all the better by this mystery guide. Solve the clues explore places you wouldn't normally look at twice and learn loads about the town and its most famous son. And nearly everywhere the guide takes you was dog friendly too, just the garden of rememberence where my partner had to wait outside with her dogs while I looked for the clue. We had a little trouble finding the start location (we were coming from the railway station) but ended up asking the local postman who pointed us to it (we were pretty much over the road from it at the time). Apparently, it's known as the American Fountain locally.

Highly recommend - A very fun way to spend an afternoon! As a local to Stratford I didn’t think there was much to learn but I was wrong! This great challenge makes you look in places you don’t normally, stop and take in your town and generally have a lovely time! Completed with my partner for his 30th birthday and we loved it!

Great way to spend an afternoon - Really enjoyed our mystery guide for Stratford-upon-Avon! The puzzles were the right difficulty to be engaging but not too challenging and it made us see things in the town we’d have never noticed otherwise. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try another one.

Great activity! - We had a brilliant time. The clues were very clever and the answers were obvious, when when you know the answer! We spent time hunting for one clue only to kick ourselves as the answer was right in front of us, literally. We have 2 more ready for our next city breaks. Thank you for putting together such an entertaining activity.

A great fun couple of hours outdoors! Amazing what you will discover! - I was given the Mystery Tour of Stratford upon Avon as a gift at Christmas 23, having moved to the area in 2021, but not yet had the chance to explore the backstreets or much of the history of the town, beyond the obvious historical landmarks. My family, my 2 spaniels and I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours exploring landmarks, less known historical sites and monuments, backstreets and hidden gems, unravelling the clues. The final destination of a pub was perfect for refreshments and to find the hidden solution that confirmed we had completed the challenge. I enjoyed it so much I have purchased 5 or so more, to explore cities with my friends and relatives to see what we didn't know and have a great fun few hours outdoors.

Great Experience - We bought it for our son and family. Even though it’s a local place to us they said they went to places they’d never seen before there. They really enjoyed it. Thank you!

What we did on our holiday. - These adventures are the perfect way to explore any town whether you are familiar with the place or not. Perfect mixture of history and pub crawl. Everybody in our group throughly enjoyed the experience. 🍻🍻 The other six groups we kept bumping into, who were also doing the adventure, seemed to be having a great time as well. We can’t recommended these adventures highly enough. We had already done Liverpool and are off to Oxford and Chester next.
