We did the Explorial tour in Bonn with friends. We had a blast. I knew the operator from other cities. Booking was an easy decision. They did not disappoint. It is a great interactive city tour. You solve fun riddles at your own pace and it takes about 2 hours. It offers godd value for money. I would deffinetly recommend it for groups!

Itinerary
Starting at Brüdergasse 8 in the old town, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and follow Bonn's compact centre. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Beethoven-Haus opens on a high note — the pink townhouse where Ludwig van was born in 1770. Riddles play through prodigy years and famous scowls. The Bonner Münster follows, five towers of Romanesque gravity built over the graves of two Roman martyrs whose giant stone heads lie outside. Trivia investigates. Then the Kurfürstliches Schloss stretches its baroque wings — once the electors' palace, now the university's main building, with the Hofgarten lawn out front. Around two hours through the city that ran West Germany for forty years. The leaderboard decides the final movement — fortissimo.

We enjoyed our day trip, beautiful buildings to see. We chose to go on the tour bus and saw and heard a lot of interesting things about the city which time would not have allowed had we not done this. We visited the Haribo shop which was excellent. We also enjoyed some very A wonderful nice food and drinks from the many restaurants available. The information office was very helpful. If a visit to the Cathedral is on your list to visit check the closing times as we unfortunately missed out on this as we arrived too late.
We learnt some interesting facts about Bonn but not sure some of the puzzles were really things you could work out, more like pure guess work! Pleasant enough way of wandering around the town centre
Did not disappoint. Was an overall great experience with lots to see and to do along the way. You can get a little side tracked sometimes but it's very easy to get back on the path. Would absolutely recommend.
This is a lot of fun. And I am sure it is a lot more fun with a group of people. I would consider this more of a scavenger hunt than a tour of Bonn. There is lots of great trivia in the game about Bonn and it does make you think and discover things. But you will not see the major sites in Bonn. The best thing about the game is that you can do it at your own pace. If you decide you want to take more time at one location you can. If you want to take a break for a snack or meal, no problem. My request would be that they allow a single person to play the game alone. That is what I did. But, I had to buy a two-person ticket, since there was not a single ticket available. My tip for anyone planning to play the game: make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a power pack (or both). My phone died in the middle of the game. Fortunately, with the game you can continue on another day without losing your place. Enjoy!
I did a trail before so I knew what to expect. However, it was super fun again. the quizzes help you great really into it. very pretty place in general!
Distance, difficulty level of the questions, and intermediate destinations are super selected. Not too much knowledge is imparted, so that something actually sticks.
It was fun, but the tour urgently needs to be updated. The sculpture in Rigidius Square was missing, and the Mexican restaurant in the city tower no longer existed. Therefore, only 3 stars.
You app is not clear to use. Not getting help. Have not been able to do the tour there via app despite code not ready to go.
It's very entertaining but the directions or help from the map could be better. For someone who doesn't know anything it was difficult to find the places. Everything else great we learned a lot.
Sehr lange Wege zwischen den einzelnen Events. Ohne Karte nicht auffindbar, daher läuft man mehr, als man rätselt. Bei manchen Spielen wurde die falsche Antwort eingegeben, obwohl man selbst überhaupt nicht getippt hatte. Die Rätselfragen waren dann gut.
Eine coole Tour, die uns immer wieder an neue Punkte der Stadt Bonn geführt hat, die wir bei einer selbst geführten Tour definitiv nicht alle gesehen hätten. Es lohnt sich und hat viel Spaß gemacht!
am meisten beeindruckt hat mich mein leeres Handy: frisch geladen am Morgen, voller Vorfreude und Zeit brachen wir auf. Immer wieder keinen Empfang. Das stetige Neuanmelden hat total genervt. Nachdem das Handy nach einer Std keinen Saft mehr hatte, haben wir die Erkundung bei nicht mal 30% abgebrochen. Sehr enttäuschend... Waren durch andere Städte wie Goslar und Korbach motiviert, Stadterkundung mit Schnitzeljagd, online, zu machen. In beiden anderen Städten konnten wir die"Stadtführung" mit Spass hinter uns bringen. In Bonn war die Begeisterung schnell hin. Viator kann ich nicht empfehlen
Es war eine spannende und sehr schöne Erfahrung. Wir werden dieses Erlebnis auch in anderen Städten ausprobieren.
We discovered the highlights of Bonn in a fun way with our teenagers; the battle for points was fierce and fun facts were learned.
Great tour, well planned, interesting information and varied questions and tasks. It was just fun!
Schöner Rundgang. Da wir zum ersten Mal hier waren, fanden wir diese App eine super Möglichkeit um die Stadt näher kennenzulernen.
Bonn surpreendeu pela positiva. A app tambem foi uma boa escolha para conhecer os pontos de maior interesse e para aprender mais sobre este locais. Foi bem divertido e vou repetir
Bonn war eine sehr schöne Stadt und hat uns sehr gefallen. Die App von Explorial ist gut gestaltet und hat uns gute 2 Stunden beschäftigt. Es gab eine Rangliste, mit welcher man sich mit den anderen vergleichen konnte.
Super Spiel...! Coole Sache...! Man hat auch noch einen geschichtlichen und kulturellen Hintergrund und tut so noch etwas für die Allgemeinbildung... Einfach nur toll und macht Spaß...!
