    A fab way to explore a city!

    We spent a thoroughly enjoyable day exploring Birmingham while doing this treasure hunt. A great way to see the city and parts of it that we would otherwise have missed. This is about the 5th one of these types of hunts that we've done and there will be more! Highly recommended!

    Bigger and better than it looks.

    This might not look much but it really is enjoyable and at times challenging. It shows hidden parts of Birmingham's past and the impressive and very visible new parts. It is great if you don't like following a group.
