12 of us (3 teams of 4) did the Covent Garden hunt. It was very enjoyable and although I know London well took us to things I hadn't seen before. The clues were challenging but not impossible and everyone enjoyed the experience. It was also very good value and not too long. The only small criticism I would make is... More

My sister organised a family team for Hidden city on Saturday night, we did the london lights at night and had an absolute blast. We got very competitive and almost ran over the bridge, if only we had not missed maiden lane we would have got a sub 1hour time! Best clue ended up in some bar somewhere having to... More

This was a fantastic thing to do with my cousins, brother and all the partners for a 'get together' after Christmas. We all got really into it (some got really quite competitive which was amusing) but enjoyed walking around the city and seeing new things. The bar brakes were very well planned out and we ended the evening on a... More

I had a friend over from America who wanted to 'see London' but because I live in London the idea or having to be a tourist for a day was a little painful. I had a little look around on line and thankfully came across the Hidden City trail. I signed up and it was one of the best days... More

Having lived and been born in London, I though I knew pretty much all there was about London... how wrong I was. Hidden London takes you to places you did not even realise existed. Short cuts and amazing shops that I had walked past for year, but had never gone in to - not again! Hidden London has shown me... More

A group of four of us did the Cryptic Christmas tour through the deal with TimeOut. We had a fantastic day walking around the city and discovering new streets, stores and pubs (even though all of us have lived in London for over 15 years). The clues were not too difficult, but were clever and definitely put our phone maps... More

Such a good way to spend an afternoon. Good fun for nerds and normals alike. Easy yet hard enough to require thought but not necessarily in-depth knowledge of the location. Would definitely do one of these hunts again! More

This was really fun, and a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. However, walking through Winter Wonderland was a bit manic and not something I would do again. Once we were out of Hyde Park though it was more pleasant. The clues were easyish, but it was enough to keep the mind wondering. I managed to do this trail... More
