Interactive City Quest Turns Canterbury Streets into an Outdoor Adventure Game
A new self-guided treasure hunt experience is inviting visitors to explore the historic city of Canterbury through an immersive, app-based adventure that blends sightseeing with escape-room-style challenges. Using the Go Quest Adventures app, participants follow a hidden trail by solving clues, completing tasks, and collecting points while navigating the city’s landmark-filled streets.
The adventure begins at Dane John Gardens, a site with deep Roman-era roots, before guiding teams through winding streets rich in medieval history and architectural heritage. Along the route, participants encounter stories tied to ancient Roman roads, historic intrigues, and remnants of old fortifications, turning the city itself into an interactive narrative landscape.
As the journey continues, the trail leads toward iconic landmarks such as the Christ Church Gates of Canterbury Cathedral, while also passing scenic areas like the River Stour. The experience encourages exploration at a personal pace, allowing groups to pause, observe, and engage with the surroundings without time pressure or fixed schedules.
Designed for friends, families, and small teams, the Quest combines flexibility with storytelling and problem-solving. Participants can begin whenever they choose and progress through the city independently, making it a playful yet informative way to experience Canterbury’s history, legends, and hidden corners.

Customer Reviews
Lyndsay gave us an absolutely fantastic tour called Pilgrims, Plague and Peasants Revolt. It was part of the Canterbury Festival and focussed on the early Medieval period/14th century. If you are able to book her and get this specific tour, it is well worth it. She's a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining and this specific tour is her specialty. Was really good! Thank you!!!! 🙏
I can really recommend Canterbury Tourist Guides. We have booked our tour for +- 100 students for the tenth time, which says enough. In short, friendly staff concering all communication is always through email. Quick responses, always willing to think along. The tour(s) itself/themselves is/are a great way to get to know more about Canterbury and its history. Even after 10 years, I/we as teachers still come across new information. A big compliment to all the guides that we have met during these past 10 years. Our students always love this tour, we really recommend it. Go and see for yourself!
Our Canterbury tour with Shawn (unsure of the spelling of her name) was a memorable experience. Having lived in the area for 40 years, she was incredibly knowledgeable and shared insights at a perfect pace. We joined the 11:00 tour and arrived early to take a few pictures, pleasantly surprised by how few people were around on such a beautiful Saturday morning. However, we did face some challenges during the tour. When we started at the meeting place, it was difficult for us to hear Shawn due to a person singing in the square. Throughout the tour, whenever she turned to face whatever she was talking about, we found it hard to hear her clearly. With only 12 in our group, it would have been great to have better acoustics for her engaging narratives. Overall, despite the hearing difficulties, Shawn’s passion and knowledge shone through, making it a worthwhile experience in the beautiful city of Canterbury.
