--"Had a great time on the City of London walk. Visited a few places we didn't know existed and had a very nice lunch at one of the recommended pubs - so nice we took a bit too long and our time wasn't that good! Will definitely try another walk."

It was a very enjoyable thing to do with teenagers and fantastic seeing parts of London you would otherwise not get to see. You can go at your own pace and find great places to stop for food and drink along the way, some of the cues take a bit of working out, but it’s a real fun thing to do.

Company challenge with 6 teams ploughing through London trying to answer clues. It was interesting to see some parts of London that are hidden away. Some of us did find the clues hard and others breezed it. Only recommendation is to have at least 4 people in your team. We also did this as part of our step challenge for the month so when we all did approx 18k in step that was very welcome too for our step results for the month.

A great way to see the city , learn history and do it at your own pace...built in breaks if you want them..clues were fun and made you think...but not so hard you wanted to give up or get frustrated. Several options in London to choose from based on your interests...their description is spot on in both timing and what to expect

A lot of the streets were closed for planned construction, which the hunt should really account for. This really made the tour a bad experience.

Such a well conceived treasure hunt, one of the best I have done. It kept us busy for nearly three hours. The stops en route were perfect and it was great strolling around a part of the city I thought I knew well but learning new features and facts. I'll definitely use these oriole again.

Great experience. I was expecting something easy but it was challenging! Very happy about that :)
Took more than 2.5 hours to complete

We decided to try out CityDays (formerly The Secret City) after being left with a day in London to explore. Other Tripadvisor reviews and the price convinced us to give it a go and we weren’t left disappointed!
We chose ‘The City’ as we thought this adventure would be the best place to start to explore London. It was easy to set up and we both received the instructions to our phones via WhatsApp with no issues.
The trail clues were, for us, the perfect level of difficulty. Any easier and there would have been no sense of achievement and the entire experience would have been over very quickly; equally any harder and I think we might have had to use more of our HINT or LOST options!
The clever stops at pubs and galleries were very welcome and it was smart that stopping at these places didn’t affect your overall time - you simply message when you’re ready to move on and the timer starts again.
It took us 3 hours to complete the entire trail - we didn’t rush and took photos along the way. I can confidently recommend this service to everyone and we’ll certainly be getting lost in another city soon!

We were not able to complete in the time advertised.
The facts given were written in a very dry manner and not especially interesting.
We enjoyed it but I would not return to CityDays.
