Best tour I’ve ever done

Published on Mar, 2025

This was the most magical tour. We so enjoyed seeing bits of Norwich that we would have missed had we not done the tour. The history was fabulous and we learned so much. Gorgeous little alleyways and amazing architecture. It was magical!

A fun way to explore

Allow plenty of time if you think you might want to investigate any of the places of interest. We're going back to the Cathedral snd Strangers Hall another day. The history information and story on the app is interesting and really adds to the walk. The instructions are easy to follow though we did lose signal around the cathedral so downloading the instructions would have been a good idea.

An interesting and enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

The quest led us to explore parts of Norwich we might not have otherwise noticed. Great fun & a splendid way to explore a city we were unfamiliar with.
