No you don't. All food and drinks are included. However, there will be optional activities that we point out along the way where some of them (e.g. museums) would require payment.
When will I get my clues/instructions?
You'll be sent a special link the day before to access the self guided experience on your phone. Across the day you'll solve clues and riddles (with an option to skip the riddles if you want to) and unlock different locations.
What will the day look like?
You can decide your specific start time and the pace for the day! We recommend getting started between 9am and 10am in the hotel lobby to give yourself enough time without feeling like you have to rush through the day.
You can expect to visit architectural highlights, places of historical or cultural importance, scenic overlooks, unique street art or statues, and hidden gem shops to browse, to name a few!
How long does the experience go for?
The experience is designed to be comfortably completed in around 3 hours, but most people will take 5-8 hours as they choose to do the optional extra activities and walks.
What is your rescheduling and cancellation policy?
As we pre-plan and book you in for your stops along the way, we need 3 days notice if you wish to reschedule or cancel your experience.
What is your wet weather policy?
The experience can still be complete in rain or wet weather in some of our destinations, just ask one of our friendly concierges. But if you'd prefer to reschedule your picnic due to rain we'll need 3 days notice, so we encourage you to keep an eye on the forecast in rainier seasons.
