What our customers think:

Interesting when the story comes to life, and I got to see parts of my hometown that I otherwise would not have noticed.

Really great adventure for tourists to get to know London.

A very interesting way to experience Lund.

Nice to stroll around Ystad and at the same time solve a murder.

A fun experience. Seeing some beautiful sights and landmarks whilst solving problems along the way. The narration was brilliant too. A fair bit of walking but you can stop at any time for a break then continue where you left off. We really enjoyed it and the final destination ticked one off my bucket list!

Fun city tour.

We did the tour of Ystad and loved the fun way to get to know a city from a completely different perspective.
