Good value, fun experience,

Really enjoyed the clues and the fact that the walk wasn’t huge distances. Helped us explore an area of Portsmouth that we definitely would have overlooked

Very enjoyable and well worth the wander around the town. Not mandatory to go into all the pubs and would recommend if you have kids.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm really pleased that your kids enjoyed it too!
