Coventry Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

New2 hFree cancellationBy Explorial

About this activity

Coventry was bombed flat in 1940 and rebuilt into something extraordinary — and this tour takes you right through it.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Coventry on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Decode clues at the Lady Godiva Statue, the rebuilt Coventry Cathedral, and the medieval St Mary's Guildhall — each with a powerful story behind it

• Walk the route at your own pace and pause wherever the city's history catches you

• Ideal for curious visitors, local history fans, and any group looking for something a bit different

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Lady Godiva rode through these streets on horseback — you're doing it on foot, which is arguably harder.
