“This tour is for sale on Tripadvisor but the truth is, it doesn’t exist! We paid to do this tour yesterday, drop over an hour into the city, did the first clue, and then the next clue, which was supposed to be a lock box with a map in it, was empty! The proprietor at the store said that they no longer support the tour! Why is it still up for purchase? The local contact info and email address don’t respond, so I called Tripadvisor/Viator and after nearly 30 min, the only result was that they’d contact the tour provider to confirm if we would qualify for a refund.

“This is very poorly maintained. We couldn't finish because of missing/unreachable clues. DO NOT RECOMMEND! When we arrived at the first stop, they didn't have lanyards for us. Not a huge deal. We set out to continue our hunt. When we got to the parking lot, we searched & searched for the clue that was supposed to be on the fence. We never found it. We finally checked the hints & compared the picture on the hints to where this box should have been. It's not there, it's been removed. This was a letdown, we had spent a lot of time circling this lot. A few in our bunch were…”

“It was fun and easy to walk to. The start and finish points are close to each other which meant we had to walk back. If it was intentional, ok, I don’t understand the intention though. We didn’t know it’s a timed tour. We mad it without paying for extra time. I thought I could have a coffee in between, good we didn’t. With a kid it needs more time or a different line up.”

When I call customer service at let’s roam I was told that there needed to be continuous WiFi. How can you do this if you are walking around the town. I paid for the, only one was able to log on and still unable to complete due to intermittent service. Waste of money and time”
