    I had a wonderful afternoon following clues along London's South Bank, with each clue leading to locations of lesser known tourist attractions. The highlight of the tour had to be the street art tunnel. Oh and thanks to Neil who was an excellent tour guide, and provided interesting facts at each location.

    Did a walk through Peckham this weekend. What a lovely route, the story was well written, the points of interest were clever and non obvious! All in all, excellent experience!

    Went on Neils game which was the Peckham trail which ended with us going to see the Film Rye Lane at Peckham Plex cinema. The game was great fun, and it brought to life Peckham plus seeing the film after gave it even more meaning as it was largely filmed in Peckham! It’s a really great thing to do with friends or strangers and will be looking to do other tour with friends as its a more interactive way of checking out London! Would definitely recommend, do it whilst the film is still on at the cinema!

    Did the Peckham, London edition of Secret City Trails-this was a great, fun game created by Neil to do and really recommend to anyone interested in exploring Peckham. Would definitely do more of these in other places. Many thanks!

    Join the "game" of Peckham, it's really fun and interesting to know more about this place, in a totally different angle. This place normally doesn't have a good reputation, but after the walk, it totally change my points of view and most importantly, explore the hidden gems that make me want to return and explore deeper later. Thanks Neil for such creative cultural and artistic design. Hope to join the other ones soon.

    A group of us played the "London’s Peckham: Arty Adventure & Multicultural Mystery" game created by Neil. It was very well designed, the riddles were clever, and the background stories were incredibly well written. We really enjoyed discovering local gems in the Peckham neighbourhood that we had never knew about or thought about visiting. It was an eye opener! I would strongly recommend this game to anyone who would like to discover a vibrant "off the beaten track" area of London while having great fun. It took us just over 2 hours to stop including a mid way break.

    I had a highly enjoyable afternoon on this fascinating discovery tour around Surrey Quays, designed by Neil. I learned so much about this beautiful part of London that I had never explored before, not to mention the great recommendations for places to eat and drink along the way! Would highly recommend :)

    Did the Surrey Quays walk. Really enjoyed it! Who knew there was so much history to discover in this area! Very scenic, nice pubs along the route, the quiz was not too difficult but not too easy either. You get to learn a lot a lot about the history of the area. Takes about 2 hours to complete. Was recommended this and it did not disappoint. Well done Neil :)

    Surrey Quays / London - I did this Secret City Trail with a group of friends at the weekend and would highly recommend it. We all live in London, but this showed us an area we never really had a reason to visit before, and turns out it’s a hidden gem! The riddles were fun and always led to interesting cultural or historical facts. They didn’t require local knowledge so I think this experience is suitable for anyone, Londoner or tourist, with a decent grasp of English. I also liked that the trail included nice options to stop for refreshments at the half-way point and at the end of the route. I’ll definitely consider booking another city trail when I have visitors from out of town or for a fun birthday party or similar. All in all, a great day out!

    I've recently been on Neil's London Southbank Trail and LOVED it! I found the riddles a really good mix of cryptic, word based and visual clues. I enjoyed the thrill of 'cracking' the more challenging questions even though I'm not a competitive person. I also really enjoyed the hidden stories behind the stops, as a Londoner it made me realise I still have a lot to learn about my city! Great food and drink recommendations too, I'd highly recommend, thanks Secret City.

    We spent an intriguing evening exploring the hidden gems of Peckham, following the clues and learning loads of fascinating facts along the way. I can highly recommend this activity. It will be even more fun when we're out of lockdown when the bars & restaurants have reopened! The clues were easy to follow and well researched. **** Update *** Had a fascinating couple of hours exploring the secret corners of the South Bank! Several fun & awesome facts along the way in an area steeped in history. Scenic views along the Riverside and hidden delights en-route to whet your appetite

    After reading reviews of Neil's games we were delighted to discover beautiful parts of London on our doorstep that we had no idea were there! It was great fun competing to find the clues and I learnt so much about the Surrey Quays area. We can't wait to try another game!

    London’s Peckham: Arty Adventure & Multicultural Mystery: We never knew that Peckham and the surrounding areas had so many wonderful pieces of architecture, art and history. We really enjoyed the lovely, peaceful green spaces and the bustling markets (while observing the social distancing rules). The trail was well constructed and made you think, which is great because it makes you look mor carefully and take things in. We're hoping to do it all again, with friends, when the lockdown is lifted! We're going to keep an eye out for more of Neil's trails, as he seems to be a local lad and we're enjoying discovering more about where we live.

    The Tour was a good start for our vacation in Rotterdam. In the three hours we saw well-known and unknown places in Rotterdam. The riddles were fun, not to easy. If you don‘t know the answer, you can skip the question and get the solution. You also learn about the history of Rotterdam and get some interesting facts about this city. Second tour of this kind, perfect for the first day in a foreign city.

    Did the South Bank trail with Neil as a guide. Such a fantastic way to explore the city even as a local. Got to see things off the beaten track, that I didn't notice before and really interesting facts. Highly recommended, if you would like a fun but challenging activity!

  • 5/5 Parafernes 3 years ago on Google
    Neil's South Bank London game. That was a fun way to spend a couple of hours wandering around a vivacious part of London. The clues were not too baffling and the company was congenial.

    Surrey Quays Dockside Discovery & Parkland Puzzle: It was a beautiful, green and tranquil walk, discovering parts of our local area that we didn't know existed, even after 28 years of living here. We can't wait for the pubs to open to enjoy it again and try some of Neil's suggestions!

    We absolutely loved doing the Norwich Amazing Animals trail. Ideal for adults or families- we learnt and saw loads of things we had never seen before. Can’t recommend this enough!!

  • 5/5 golden i. 3 years ago on Google
    We discovered the South Bank area using Neil’s interactive guide, finding out fascinating nuggets of info and discovering hidden spots I must have walked past many times without previously noticing! Solving the clues was great fun! Highly recommended way to spend a few hours.

    South Bank riddle trail: definitely a great day out! It was both fun and challenging. Good in a group, to allow you to put your heads together for the trickier clues. It’s also a great way to see and learn more about London. Even those who know the area pretty well can still learn a quite a lot! :)

    We did the Amazing Animals trail in Norwich on a cold wintry Saturday. We started after dark and everything we needed to see was very visible with a torch, meaning you can start and finish the trail whenever you like. Loved the fact it wasn't against the clock (unless you wanted to be super competitive) and so is an ideal way to see the city and enjoy the many eateries and sights along the way. A great discovery for all the family, would definitely suit the younger members of the family, everyone can get involved.
