These Mystery Guides are an excellent idea. This one had us looking at our home city in a new light. It's surprising just how much you can not notice as you walk around.

We don’t know Bristol and this tour is fun plus interesting. There are clues to solve as you walk around, and our boys (13 & 11) were able to solve most of these so it kept their interest for the duration. The tour takes you to places you may not normally find, like little cake shops hidden away,...

The tour takes you to places you may not normally find, like little cake shops hidden away, plus lovely places to sit and enjoy the scenery & good weather. We recommend this tour!Loubie1967

A fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Saw parts of Bristol we had never seen before and loved learning about the history and solving the clues. Looking forward to our next adventure. Pub stops were an added bonus 🍻
