A really enjoyable couple of hours. The clues were neither too easy, nor too hard. The route was interesting, with beautiful architecture to see on the way. Several places were tucked away and we would never have known they were there! We particularly loved the Snickelways. Really recommend this as an informative, fun way to look around the Old Town.A brilliant way to see the hidden parts of York. I have been to York lots of time but this adventure took me to places I had never seen. The treasure hunt is really easy to follow and the clues are challenging but not too difficult. We really enjoyed the hunt.
