What have CityDays adventurers been up to?
Had a great day out in the city. We know the city pretty well from our younger years and got to see some old familiar sights in a new light and also discovered some other places we hadn't been before. Two of the questions were a bit vague and we had to ask for hints, it could have been because it got dark and it was harder to see the landmarks? Overall it was a great day and would love to do another one soon We will make sure to start earlier so we can take out time a but more with the stops.
Very good
What a great experience! My partner is Australian but we still learnt lots of facts we didn’t already know, we had a great day out and can’t wait to do another one with some friends soon! Highly recommend
A really fun evening
This was such an enjoyable experience, it felt like we were doing the amazing race!
Thoroughly enjoyed our family day out. We learnt so much about our beautiful city.
