Solve Shakespeare’s Lucky Quill mystery while walking 3.25 km through Stratford, with cryptic clues, local stories, and flexible self-guided fun.
“Really enjoyed doing our Stratford Upon Avon Mystery Tour. Never ever done anything like this before but so glad we completed it. Great way of seeing all the major highlights of Stratford especially as it was our first visit here. We chose to complete the tour without stopping off as weather was cold and rain expected anytime so we plodded on and did it in exactly 3hours. We are a couple in our late 60's early 70's and didn't find it too arduous inspite of arthritic knees! Great fun overall and would certainly look to do one in another city. We live in Liverpool and fancy doing that tour next.”

We had a blast solving clues and traveling from place to place. Didnt need to spend anything extra. And we loved the ending! We had so much fun and it was great that we could go at our own pace. Bumped into several other people also doing the treasure hunt which was lovely.”
