★★★★
vibe: it was cool to walk around the city with friends. it would have been cooler if the businesses were in on it and sold themed cocktails too, but maybe not in the escape version.
★★★★
fun but you should be able to check your evidence as you go through
★★★★★
this was a fun tour. however this is not a walking tour!! it is good if you have the street scooters. which we did and was a game changer
★★★★★
It was fun, but I think the distance is a bit longer than the listed one!
★★★★
It was a fun way to get aome steps in but we wish there was more stuff actually related to the places we went.
