Birmingham Back to Backs

Reviewed By lesh244 - Birmingham, United Kingdom

Finally got around to booking (essential) in for the tour and was not disappointed, the rooms are so small that only a few people can be accommodated on each tour! Our guide was well informed and gave a very humourous guided tour During the 90 minute tour there are lots of narrow doorways and steep stairs, both up and down, to negotiate so you do need to be able bodied You are introduced to the ever changing history of the properties and its occupants with fascinating description of their lives and businesses There are lots of objects to see and handle to help you get a fuller picture of life in the back to back housing of the times There is a small museum to view and a visit to the sweet shop on the corner is an absolute must Please make sure to book so as not to be dissapointed when you are turned away, as all tours are fully booked, if you turn up on spec!

Went on this amazing trip yesterday 18/07/2020. From start to finish it was well organised. On the way we stopped for breakfast which was large with unlimited tea and coffee. We also stayed their on the way back home and for just £12.00 you had main course and desert which again very large portions and served by two very nice members of staff. The horse riding activity was excellent and again the staff at the stables were all lovely. Hello to Mary. They had a very warm and friendly approach and you could tell how much they loved their horses which were all well looked after. The walk along the cliffs is not for those with a fear of heights, saying that once you are up there the views are second to none and surely took my breath away. Just seeing the wild horses and the valley below us with its streams and water falls made it all worth while. The horses were extremely well behaved and I totally fell in love with my horse Sky. Now on to George he is the lovely man who runs hoovin about. He is fun witty and made all of us laugh from the moment we met to sadly saying our fond farewells. He made us all feel at ease and although I was in two minds about going to begin with as this was organised by my daughter, I can honestly say I am so glad I went. This was just the tonic I needed... No not gin and tonic !!! I have not had so much fun in a long time, and after being couped up for such along time during lock down this was just what I needed. Some outdoor fresh air and a good laugh with some fantastic people who I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. So all I can say is get out from behind your laptops and put down your gaming consoles its time for some long awaited company and fun. Thanks George for a great day out.

Be warned, this is such a fantastic experience that if you do it once you will want to do it again - or take up flying. It’s a great set up and the staff are welcoming and friendly. My Wife bought me this as a 60th birthday present and along with Captain Nigel we flew the 747 Jumbo around New York landing at JFK and then nipped over to Innsbruck for a flight between the mountains. It is so realistic that you soon feel like you are actually flying and if like me you are fascinated by the whole concept of flight you will love this. I was so impressed, I booked to do it all over again - can’t recommend it more than that.

Clockwork Escapes

Clockwork Escapes is the premiere Escape Room attraction in Wolverhampton, a unique challenge with true character. Each of the themed locked rooms within is a race against the clock to escape. But they're also more than that. At Clockwork Escapes, you will aid the proprietor, the exuberant Professor Clockwork, in achieving one of a number of tasks whilst in the room of your choosing.

Reviewed By Jonnodrp - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom

I've been to several escape rooms across the country, and this one is by far the most asmospheric and imaginative. There are several rooms with different difficulties to choose from. The Professor is there to assist you and make you feel "at home" We did a room called "Sanctum" which I believe is one of the harder rooms to choose from. It was lots of fun with challenging puzzles. A great time and we shall be back!
