Had a fun and interesting walking exploration of old Portsmouth with this book, and found places, roads, and information that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. They are very thoroughly researched and written and are easy to follow, with some humorous depictions of the characters and explanations for each clue, some of which gave us a bit of a head scratch as we unravelled them. We loved the twists at the end. Thank you Mystery Guides. We will be back to do some of the others soonest. Sarah W and familyNuJerico

A very clever and informative trail which was fun and showed us history we didn’t know on our own doorstep. Puzzles were just the right difficulty for us to be able to solve in a few minutes 😁.
