• 5Super fun afternoon

  Really really good in depth hunt, the clues stump you at first but when you find it you think 'ahhh', I would say not worth the money since you get nothing in return but was very interesting and fun. Highly recommend!!

• 5Fabulous family fun

  I bought the treasure hunt as a fun way to spend a couple of hours with my adult son. We bought the Leeds experience, which is also our home town, and even though we know leeds city centre very well we still found the clues really challenging and also learnt quite a bit of local history that we didn't know. I can highly recommend!

• 5Getting to know Leeds with Captain Bess

  Captain Bess Treasure Hunts are an excellent way to get to know a new city or find out things you didn't know about a city you think you know well. The Leeds hunt was fascinating - we love how every clue found finishes with a bit of a history lesson on that particular part of the city. We learned loads and had a lovely walk around the city at the same time.

• 5Great fun way to see Leeds with family.

  This was a great fun way to see some of Leeds and even learn a little about the City . I have no doubt we saw more of Leeds than we would have, while having fun at the time . The level was just right. I would recommend.

• 5Hunt for culture round Leeds!

  It was a great experience, we got to learn things about Leeds (and ourselves haha) navigating and delegating directions needs to be organised lol we had a good laugh though looking for things around us and celebrating when we found them! Some directions were tricky at the end but that would maybe be down to the navigator! Great fun! P.S. best part was finding the pubs on way we would never have thought, Briggate - The Ship Inn for those who don’t appeal to ale

• 5Mum daughter day out in Leeds

  Having done a few treasure hunts before, we knew what to expect and weren’t disappointed. Great treasure hunt and fantastic amount of information given, not too much, not too little. We took slightly longer than 3 hours due to the Christmas market and stopping for lunch. Highly recommended

About Leeds

Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.

Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.
