“We loved this. We had a free day but didn’t fancy a walking tour so we chanced this. It ended up taking us a good few hours because we kept finding lovely looking cafes & shops on the route to stop off at. We thought we had already seen most of Graz but we discovered so much more with this . Great fun too solving the clues. We will def be doing more of these when we visit new areas. Great value for money too.”
